Our "car guys" on this board are always interesting, I guess technically any vehicle is an Overland rig in Kansas.
The particular vehicle RM is referencing is probably outfitted for Overlanding:
"Overlanding is self-reliant overland travel to remote destinations where the journey is the principal goal. Typically, but not exclusively, it is accomplished with mechanized off-road capable transport (from bicycles to trucks) where the principal form of lodging is camping, often lasting for extended lengths of time (months to years) and spanning international boundaries."
This trend has been growing all over the last couple decades but is also exploding in Mountainous areas like CO. It is absolutely over the top and extremely expensive (also a big pissing match) however the vehicles are bad ass and if equipped correctly can sustain long journeys. Ideal vehicles are true off road capable SUV/trucks (Jeeps, Toyotas, etc) with tires that max typically at 33 inches. Suited more to driving to Buenos Aires and back than rock-crawlers or mud trucks.
You'd have to be some sort of Colorado anomaly like an emaciated marathon running, peach miata driving, short short, leg-shaving nancy boy to not know what that is...
