    New for 2022? GXV and EarthCruiser hints

    Now that EarthCruiser has fully tested the Isuzu CORE truck I'm sure that we'll see the first EXP/Isuzu setup. Looking forward to see how the cab to box setup works. Epps

    DOT Inspection?

    Question: In the US, does a Fuso camper conversion that's never used for commercial purposes still require a DOT number/inspection? Isuzu trucks, NPR/NPR-HD and de-rated F models are under 26,000 lbs. and are marketed as not requiring a CDL. I think this pretty much applies across the...

    Discussion on the 2021 Isuzu/Chevy 6.6L Gas Cabover Platform

    EarthCruiser/CORE: Can we get an update on the performance of the Isuzu 6.6 on and off the road? How does it ride compared to the Fuso and how's the mpg? When do you plan to offer the Isuzu on the EXP? Thanks, Epps

    Thanks for you input into my thinking in trying to come up with a smaller lower cost vehicle. I see and understand your points. What would you think of a scaled up version? Could the 150" crew cab with the Terranova cabin work better? I'm a real fan of EarthCruiser design, but $400,000 plus...

    Discussion on the 2021 Isuzu/Chevy 6.6L Gas Cabover Platform

    Lance: Is there any chance that the EXD (You still offer that I hope, I don't see it on your site now.) could be fitted to a 109" Isuzu NPR 4X4? At less than 17' long it would be a mini EXP. Yes, there would be some overhang on the rear, but the storage box and spare wheel would fit fine...

    Is the current bomber truck a 6.0L or 6.6L engine?

    Lance: Your point is very well taken, those of us in our 50's or more tend to think about this subject as we did when we wer in our 20's. Times have changed.... I've given the thought of using a NPR box truck and building out my own interior, but what EarthCruiser offers is a time proven...

    Yes, we are talking the larger Class 6 or 7 trucks, but there are larger overland trucks out there than an Isuzu F series. I don't see an 18" longer wheel base as a major issue for most folks. Due to the cab height, I think the FX cabin would be the best fit for the pass through. It appears...

    Looking good! Now that Chevy is offering the Cummins B6.7 diesel in their version of the Isuzu LCF, will you be rethinking the use of the gas engine in the USA?

    Whats next at EarthCruiser

    Having owned a 2015 Transit diesel and 5 other Ford vans over the years I think it would make a great travel vehicle for the east coast. Yes, the E-350 could carry more weight, but the transit is far better to drive. I have the following questions for Lance at EC: What wheel base do you...
