We all may have customary vehicles we think of when building our first overland rig, but Adam chose a less conventional starter vehicle. Ford separates the Lariat as its luxury model and as an overland vehicle. Who wouldn’t appreciate added style and comfort to their long adventures? This is a comfortable and capable choice that needs little modification and could easily double as a daily driver.
From Adam:
This truck was built to be an expedition/overland vehicle using only top of the line parts. When I started building this truck not many others at the time had built a 3/4-ton truck for overlanding. I am the second owner and purchased it with 40,000 miles on the odometer. This truck has been meticulously maintained and cared for, and the majority of the time the truck is parked in a climate-controlled shop. Oil and fuel filters are changed every 5,000 miles.
The entire front end has been rebuilt and the fuel system was replaced by a local Ford dealership 10,000 miles ago. The dealership has maintained all service records. The only towing I’ve done was pulling a bass boat. Fuel additives have been used in every tank. The truck is wrapped in genuine MultiCam black vinyl that can be removed and the condition under the wrap is great. This truck will take you on any adventure you want to go on and carry all your gear with no problems.
This shows the vehicle without the wrap, which can be removed.
In full disclosure, Adam mentions there is a dent in the rear passenger side bed.
Adam is selling the Lariat FX4 for $42,000 and is willing to negotiate delivery and price. Please feel free to call or text him if you want more info (479-790-3961).
