Toyota Motor North America announced the renewal of its participation in the Rebelle Rally, the longest competitive off-road navigation rally in the United States, known for featuring all-women two-person teams. For 2025, Toyota is fielding a team from outside the company for the first time, while continuing to send 12 internal team members to compete, company officials stated in a press release. Additionally, Toyota is returning as the presenting sponsor of the live event webcast for the fourth consecutive year.
Toyota’s First-Ever Outside Team for the Rebelle Rally
For its first-ever external team, Toyota is backing Rachelle Croft—co-founder of XOVERLAND and CEO of The Overland Collective, which includes XOVERLAND, Expedition Portal, Overland Journal, and the XOVERLAND Ranch—and her driving partner, Taylor Pawley, as they make their return to the Rebelle Rally 2025.
Croft and Pawley previously clinched first place overall in the 2019 event, showcasing their exceptional off-road skills and teamwork. Croft, known for her extensive experience in overlanding and her fearless approach to adventure driving, navigated the rugged terrain with precision. Pawley, with her navigational skills and strategic acumen, complemented Croft’s driving, guiding the team to victory.
“We are thrilled to work with Rachelle and Taylor, who have demonstrated their passion for off-roading both on the course and outside of it,” said Samantha Barber, senior manager of production engineering at Toyota and multi-year participant in the Rebelle Rally. “Following their example of pushing boundaries and embracing new challenges is an inspiration to us, and we are excited to see our own engineers join this year’s event to test the performance of our vehicles in the tough course of Rebelle Rally.”
