Ford F-250 with Alaskan camper

The Ford F-250 is a sought-after truck for overland builds with recent examples including this 2021 Tremor with a 2020 OEV Camp-X, a 2006 with A/T Overland Habitat, and a 2009 FX4 Off-Road. This dependable full-size platform provides up to a 3,500-pound payload, 10,000-pound towing capacity, and desirable all-terrain features. In addition, today’s 2001 offers benefits from the exceptionally long-lived 7.3-liter Power Stroke diesel. If you’d like a better idea of how this vehicle can be outfitted for travel, check out the builds from OttoEx and Basil Lynch. Despite its size, the F-250 is surprisingly capable when the tarmac ends, as demonstrated by the backcountry adventures of Ty Fenwick and Craig in Texas. Today’s 2001 rig has covered just 150,000 miles and is topped with an aluminum flatbed and Alaskan camper.

From the Seller:

“Low-mileage, well maintained Ford F-250 7.3 diesel truck with a custom Alum-Line flatbed. Purpose-built flatbed designed to carry 2006 extended cabover 8-foot Alaskan camper. Gets 14 mpg with camper on at 62 mph, less at higher speeds. I also have the original truck bed (with a matching gray stripe) and a quality Snug Top shell that go with the package.”

2001 Ford F-250

The F-250 is fitted with the legendary 7.3-liter diesel that produces 275 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. The Power Stroke diesel is not the most powerful nor is it the most economical or refined but it is exceptionally long-lived with well-maintained examples known to exceed a 1,000,000 miles. A dependable engine is matched with excellent capability thanks to 4WD, low range, auto-locking hubs, and more. These rugged credentials are balanced by a well-equipped interior with driver comforts that include: 

  • Premium audio 
  • Backup camera 
  • Cupholders 
  • Air-conditioning 
  • Power steering, locks, and windows
