2021 Ford E-350 4x4 Field Van Classic :: Featured Classified

This remarkable rig was engineered from the ground up by industry legends, Field Van. The company, founded in 1989, has been building adventure-ready campers for over 30 years, and their flagship Ford Classic 4×4 is truly a masterpiece. Despite appearances, it’s far from a standard Ford E-350. They begin with a Ford E-350 cut-away chassis and convert it from 2WD to 4WD using a proprietary 4×4 system. From here, they add a custom fiberglass steel cage-reinforced body that is 4 inches wider and 4 inches taller than the original Econoline, yet at a glance looks completely standard. This bespoke habitation box, combined with a pop-top roof, creates a generous interior living space well-appointed for long-term trips or full-time living. The specifications for this build are extraordinary and documented in this Google Doc. It’s in a different league to the 4WD Sportsmobiles and similar we’re accustomed to seeing, and is better understood as a scaled-down luxury expedition camper. Amenities include a large house battery system, 15 gallons of freshwater with on-demand hot water, 4-season climate control, a bespoke camper interior, considerable interior and exterior storage, and redundancy built into all systems. At $225,000, it’s less than some off-the-shelf Sprinter AWD camper conversions and provides key advantages. The seller provides a full breakdown of costs, indicating that new, this vehicle would set you back $275,000 with an 18-month lead time (not including the $25,000 in post-build upgrades). With just 37,000 miles, this $300,000 build is barely run in and would serve as the perfect international travel companion or rolling home for the upcoming season.

From the Seller:

“Meticulously cared for one-owner vehicle. Recently designed Field Van Classic 4×4 S1 floor plan loaded with options. The original owners put 37,000 miles on the 2021 Classic in four years and were on the road camping out of it 50 percent of the time. They will miss their van and the adventures it brings; however, they are moving to a larger expedition-style, off-road RV. The 5-year warranty ends May 2026. Subsequently, $265,000 gets you on the road in a $300,000, fully optioned-out, awesome rig. The van has been returned to the factory at least once a year for inspection, a maintenance check, and re-torquing of suspension fasteners to the specified torques. Regular service has been performed, including fluid changes, tire rotation, and maintenance of the water and heater system. Receipts and service records are available for interested buyers.”
