EarthCruiser creates no-expense-spared expedition trucks and over almost two decades has forged a reputation for excellence. Founded in Australia in 2009 and based out of Bend, Oregon, since 2013, the company explains that its ability to produce “world-class” vehicles is the result of “hard-earned extreme field experience traversing some of the world’s most intimidating terrain.” Today the company is synonymous with uncompromising quality, and unlike many expedition trucks that favor luxury at the detriment of rugged capability, the EarthCruiser finds a balance between comfort and backcountry prowess. Cue today’s 2021 EarthCruiser FX, which has covered just 9,350 miles and showcases a plethora of premium exterior upgrades and an exceptionally well-equipped camper interior. At $300,000, it’s competitively priced when you consider that a new FX will set you back $595,000. Expedition Portal and Overland Journal Publisher Scott Brady field-tested the EarthCruiser in Australia (and later in Oregon on our YouTube channel) and was taken aback by its performance in the wilderness. He states: “With customers having traveled to all corners of the world, the EarthCruiser has become a legitimate and proven global exploration option.” It’s also worth noting that the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 4×4 that underpins the FX is utilized globally, which ensures that both OEM and aftermarket parts and accessories are always close to hand. Further still, the built-to-work credentials of this platform are undeniable and reflected by its class-leading 30,000-kilometer service intervals. Whether you’re looking to explore the US or travel around the world, the EarthCruiser FX will allow you to do so with confidence thanks to superlative capability, durability, and interior luxury. This particular example is sold with the manufacturer’s literature, EarthCruiser’s owner manuals, and includes $1,000 of spare parts for absolute peace of mind.
From the Seller:
“We purchased this 2021 EarthCruiser FX through a seller on Expedition Portal a little over a year ago. Sadly, my wife’s health issues/leg surgeries limit her ability to be out for any extended length of time—hence the short ownership and sale. The vehicle needs to go to someone who can put it to good use! Just before my purchase, the previous owner had it inspected by EarthCruiser (I have receipts/inspection reports available). The living quarters feature a dining table with seating for four that converts to a sleeping surface. A separate retractable cot-style bunk can be extended over the table for children. The kitchenette is equipped with composite countertops, an Isotherm refrigerator/freezer, a double-basin sink, a Webasto diesel cooktop, and a ceiling-mounted Panasonic microwave oven. A shower, sink, and retractable Thetford cassette toilet are located in the entry vestibule. There is also an amazing amount of storage available inside the vehicle between the self-latching drawers, storage under the lift-up bed, and additional storage bins in a slide-out under the bed. Climate control gear consists of a diesel Webasto air/water heater, an Arctic Breeze DC air conditioner, and ceiling-mounted fans. It is very easy to drive, and the large window provides a commanding view, unlike any other vehicle I’ve driven. Feel free to contact me for additional information and pictures.”
