The overlanding industry is booming with a wide array of desirable parts, accessories, and services to make backcountry exploration as enjoyable as possible. As a result, an increasing number of travelers are outfitting their rigs with all the comforts of home. Full-size trucks are a great option for heavier builds and offer the power, structural integrity, and capacity to haul a well-equipped camper and passengers safely. If you’d like to learn more, listen to Why Full-Size Trucks Should Be Seriously Considered for Overlanding on the Overland Journal podcast. The F-250 is a popular choice with previous offerings on the forum including this 2021 XLT Tremor with an OEV Camp-X camper, a 2006 custom overland build, and a 2009 FX4 Off-Road. Today’s 2001 Ford F-250 FX4 has covered 250,000 miles and showcases the exceptionally long-lived 7.3-liter Power Stroke motor, premium modifications, an aluminum flatbed, and an EarthCruiser camper.
From the Seller:
“This truck has been in California its whole life. The truck runs beautifully with no problems or error codes and too many upgrades to list.”
