An overland vehicle should first and foremost facilitate experiences, and for many of us, it enables access to remote locations for human powered excursions. Whatever outdoor activity/sport you enjoy, there’s usually an associated pack list, and if, like me, you enjoy a range of different hobbies, you need a rig with plenty of organized storage. Further still, it’s ideally located on the exterior, weather-sealed, and lockable, since this keeps your habitat free from equipment that’s often wet, sandy, or muddy. With this in mind, cue today’s low mileage 2015 Ford F-350 4×4 Crew Cab XLT (45,000 kilometers/27,961 miles), which boasts a plethora of premium upgrades, a fully outfitted utility body, and is topped with a custom 10 foot BunduTOP rooftop tent. This unique setup was designed with support from a Dakar Rally team to be totally autonomous in remote areas and features a sophisticated storage system to systematically organize camping gear, kitchenware, supplies, tools, spares, etc. Further still, this is not simply a proof of concept, but rather a proven platform that spent 4 years travelling from Labrador, Canada, to Colombia. The F-350 that underpins this impressive build is a pinnacle choice for travel with its heavy duty 4WD system, solid axles, generous payload, powerful V8 diesel, and well equipped cab, which is why it’s the platform of choice for many luxury expedition truck builders (including Nimbl Vehicles, Tactical Application Vehicles, and Rossmönster). So if you’re looking for a turnkey expedition rig for both domestic and international travel, this is a great option and is even sold with an assortment of camping gear, spare parts, tools, recovery kit, and an instruction manual.
From the Seller:
“Built with one goal in mind: total autonomy and reliability far from help. This Ford F-350 expedition truck was designed with support from a Dakar Rally team and assembled by professionals experienced in extreme-road conditions. It was used as a home on wheels for a 4-year overland journey from Labrador to Colombia, living full-time in the vehicle while crossing remote regions with limited fuel, water, or infrastructure. Every system and component was chosen to be simple, robust, and field-serviceable, and was proven day after day on rough tracks, mountain roads, and through mud, heat, and cold. It delivers over 1,000 kilometers of range without refueling, which is perfect for long crossings of isolated areas. In addition, it has enough water to supply showers for up to a week, a fully equipped kitchen, and a large comfortable bed – ideal for regions without infrastructure. The vehicle is currently in Quebec, Canada. It is registered in Quebec. If necessary, it can be sent wherever you wish, and we will be happy to assist you in this process (it has been designed to fit into a 40-foot container in order to limit transport costs and maximize safety).”
