***SOLD***
One of a kind 2007/2016 Tiger Overland Vehicle
This unique vehicle combines the best of two eras. It was a Featured Vehicle at Overland Expo West in 2016 & 2022
The chassis is a 2007 Silverado Classic 2500HD; the last of the pre-emission control diesels. It features four wheel drive along with the Duramax LBZ diesel engine combined with the 6 speed Allison automatic with push button shift control. This combination was only available in 2006 and 2007 Classic models and is widely believed to be the very best Duramax to have. Because it is pre-emission control, the unit runs properly on all grades of diesel fuel and you can take it anywhere in the world just as we have. No DEF required.
While the Tiger body was first built in 2007, in 2016 it underwent an extensive four month rebuild at the Tiger Factory. Upgrades done at that time were installation of a new, taller TX top, largely new wood floor, updated exterior storage compartment, all new cabinets, new vinyl flooring, new headliner and upgraded electronics. In the intervening years, Tiger Vehicles had made many improvements to their construction practices, most especially the sturdier TX top, all solid wood cabinets, fiberglass shower enclosure and much improved insulation. Our rebuilt Tiger is a much better vehicle than the original was back in 2007.
Mechanically, our Tiger has always been maintained in excellent condition because we have needed it to be. As full time travelers, with our Tiger as our home, we’ve always maintained the vehicle in completely ready to go condition. It has had to be prepared to go on a long trip at all times because we are always on the move; in our life, we are always on a long trip; far from ‘home’.
This vehicle is ready to go wherever you want to take it whenever you want to leave. In 2022 our Tiger covered 21,000 miles through 35 States and 5 Canadian provinces. From Alabama to California to the easternmost point in North America at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, and then back to Alabama. This is a truck you can get into on the first day and take off for distant adventures. In preparation for selling the unit, we’ve recently spent $4,000 preparing it after our travel season to ensure that everything works as it should and everything is in great condition. The Tiger comes with complete service records in both paper and electronic forms.
In addition to its regular servicing schedule, in 2016, with our Tiger back in the States for the first time in many years, we undertook a very thorough mechanical inspection and upgrade to bring everything back to as near a like new condition as possible.
Our Tiger is available for $69,500 obo and will be ready for delivery November 10th at Summerdale, Alabama.

Mileage is 292,765 miles. This is not considered high for a Duramax LBZ as you can see by reading here, or here, or here. As mentioned above, vehicle comes with complete service records, both paper invoices and spreadsheet records.
