I’ve shared a selection of rigs for under $10,000 recently, so it was about time I featured something 34 times more expensive. Cue today’s low-mileage (30,900 miles) $340,000 2018 EarthCruiser EXP #44, which is available directly from the company as part of their Certified Pre-Owned service. Sure, for most of us, that’s an incredible amount of money for a vehicle, but in the world of luxury expedition trucks, that’s a drop in the ocean. In fact, EarthCruisers are some of the best-value, no-expense-spared builds on the market when pitched against the alternatives. These include a pre-owned $584,000 2020 Global Expedition Vehicles Patagonia and a $675,000 2021 SLRV Expedition Vehicle. However, if these half-a-million-dollar vehicles are a little cheap for your taste, then you could always join the waiting list for an EarthRoamer SX, which will set you back over $1,000,000. So, in short, the EarthCruiser is the “affordable” option. Sure, they’re still an eye-watering amount of money, but relatively speaking, used examples are good value. In addition, I’d argue that they’re one of the few overland vehicles that deliver on capability and not just luxury. If you’d like to learn more about this platform’s all-terrain performance, check out Scott Brady’s EarthCruiser EXP field test. It’s, therefore, a popular choice on our forum with recent examples, including this 2021 FX, a 2019 FX #61, and a 2018 EXP.

2018 EarthCruiser EXP #44

EarthCruiser produces premium expedition vehicles designed for long-term off-grid travel and are priced accordingly. Fortunately, the company states that resale values often exceed “80 percent of the purchase price.” Subsequently, you can invest in an EarthCruiser, drive around the world, and sell at the end of your adventure for the best part of what you originally paid. This example is built on a Mitsubishi 4×4 FG chassis, which is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel motor that produces 161 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
