The Ford E-350 4×4 is a great choice for travel with recent overland offerings including this 2002 U Joint, 2010 Military Shuttle Bus, and 2021 Field Van Classic. The E-Series has long been a commercial icon, but in recent years, it has become increasingly popular among overlanders, largely due to its aftermarket support. Parts, accessories, and even on-demand 4WD conversions can uprate this practical 2WD work van into a legitimate around-the-world adventure vehicle. This means you can build a 4-season, live-in, high-top campervan that boasts a “million-mile” motor, generous payload and towing capacity, 4WD, solid axles, and front and rear lockers for a fraction of the price of an off-the-shelf AWD Sprinter camper. There’s no shortage of inspiring builds online from the likes of Phelps on the Fly, Ally and Lance, and Box Truck Travel. Cue today’s 2000 Ford E-350 4×4 (237,xxx miles), which boasts the bulletproof 7.3-liter Power Stroke motor, a plethora of modifications, and a simple yet functional camper interior.

From the Seller:
“We love this van and have enjoyed amazing adventures in it, but we’re shifting gears and ready to pass it along. It’s turnkey-ready for road trips, overlanding, or vanlife. This E-350 has been converted for off-grid travel and built to last. We’re including everything we use for our trips, so this van is ready to take out on a trip tomorrow. The interior is clean, functional, and cozy—we’ve lived in it for one to two weeks at a time with ease. It has cosmetic external rust and a few dents and scratches. We’ve kept up with preventative maintenance.”
