Autarky Expedition Vehicles V4 :: Featured Classified

Nevada-based Autarky Campers builds marine-grade expedition vehicles for “long-term stays in primitive locations.” The company takes a hands-on approach to all aspects of the build, which ensures the same level of expertise is applied from the ground up. Cue their latest offering, the formidable Autarky Vehicles V4. This no-expense-spared rig is built on a 2019 Ford F-450 4×4, which has been optioned out from the factory and further uprated with a plethora of top-tier aftermarket components and a custom-built habitation box. An extreme-duty exterior is balanced with an exceptionally well-equipped interior, courtesy of a bespoke handcrafted camper conversion with redundancy integrated into all systems and generous amenities. Despite these credentials, today’s rig is priced at a competitive $230,000, which is a fraction of what you’d expect to pay some of the leading competitors for a comparable build.

From the Seller:

“V4 is an international, overland-ready expedition vehicle built with the highest regarded industry components. The camper runs off a single fuel source; whenever you fuel up at a diesel station, you’re also able to ensure your cooking and heating sources are topped off as well. The camper features a drop-out shower stall and slide-out toilet, providing the benefit of a fully enclosed bathroom but utilizing far less space in the camper. The Power Stroke motor moves the truck along swiftly with more than ample torque for even the steepest of mountain grades. Rough terrain? Desert sand dunes? Deep water crossings? Don’t worry. With 42-inch Continental tires on beadlock wheels you can air down, engage your front locker, and continue to push though the most challenging terrain en route to your next dream overland destination. Once you’re back at home after a long adventure, you are free to simply lift the camper off the truck, using the Rico lift jacks, leaving you with an off-road ready, flatbed work truck/tow machine.”
