This past weekend, Toyota Motor North America announced its continued participation in the Rebelle Rally, a prominent off-road navigation rally in the United States. The event is known for featuring all-women two-person teams. For 2025, Toyota will field a team from outside the company for the first time while continuing to send 12 internal team members to compete. Additionally, Toyota will serve as the presenting sponsor of the live event webcast for the fourth consecutive year.
Toyota is backing Rachelle Croft, co-founder of XOVERLAND and CEO of The Overland Collective, and her driving partner Taylor Pawley as they return to Rebelle Rally 2025. Croft and Pawley previously secured first place overall in the 2019 event. Their teamwork and skills are well recognized in off-road circles.
“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.”
As a webcast partner, Toyota will provide online live coverage of the 2025 Rebelle Rally, offering fans worldwide an immersive experience. The rally takes place from October 8-18 over a challenging course through Nevada and California.
