2018 EarthRoamer XV-LTS #213 :: Featured Classified

Over the years, many expedition truck builders have come and gone, but EarthRoamer (founded in 1998) continues to spearhead the segment. The company’s success is no coincidence but instead represents the obsessive attention to detail, innovation, and uncompromising build quality synonymous with every truck they’ve produced. Automotive expert and Expedition Portal contributor Christophe Noel extensively field-tested the XV-LTs and even visited the factory to better understand the build process. “Seeing how these incredible machines come to life is nothing short of extraordinary. EarthRoamer’s team of nearly 30 employees [today that number is closer to 60] is a dedicated and skilled workforce with a collective passion for perfection. There is no denying that their productions command a hefty price, but having witnessed firsthand how much work goes into each truck, it’s easy to see why so many people are willing to pay such a sum.” Each EarthRoamer is built around the same principles as a luxury sailing yacht with premium materials, multi-stage redundancy, four-season liveability, extreme durability, and a fine balance between uncompromising functionality and supreme comfort and amenities. It’s a true work of art designed and engineered for up to 18 months by a team of industry-leading techs and craftsmen/women, which is why used EarthRoamers have such impressive residual value. With this in mind, cue today’s 2018 EarthRoamer XV-LTS #213 (63,000 miles), which boasts extensive maintenance records, desirable factory options, and a plethora of premium aftermarket upgrades. At $389,000, it represents impressive value when you consider that a new comparable EarthRoamer would set you back the best part of ~$1,000,000.
