FOR SALE:
2016 Earthcruiser FX, built on a 2012 Fuso FG chassis (Updated to 2017 Model Year Specs by Authorized Fuso Dealer)
3 Liter turbo diesel with Duonic transmission
Mileage as of this posting: 69,902 (may increase due to pending trips)
With current pricing, a new FX will cost over $400,000 from Earthcruiser with a lead time of approximately 6-12 months.
If you are reading this classified, you probably already know some basic information in regards to the comfort and capabilities of an Earthcruiser FX or EXP. My wife and I purchased this expedition truck about 3 years ago and have since traveled approximately 40,000+ miles. We have spent months traveling all over the United States, Canada, and Mexico. From the beaches of Washington, Oregon, California and Mexico, to the deserts of Arizona and Utah, to remote areas of the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains from Colorado to Canada. Additionally, we have been in subzero temperatures (down to -14 deg F) for extended periods of time while the fuel-sipping diesel heater kept our living area at a comfortable 70 degrees with little effort.
All the systems in this truck run exclusively on diesel or solar/inverter. There is no need for a generator, propane or a secondary fuel source to be totally self contained.
We have been incredibly comfortable traveling on many amazing adventures. Because this expeditionary truck is so well engineered we really haven’t felt a need in the past 3 years of traveling to make any major changes to it. All the improvements we have made were minor in nature and more to suit our particular style and needs. That being said, every experienced adventurer knows there are always “bugs” to work out of a newly built vehicle. Because we are the second owners and this vehicle is not brand new, all the bugs have been worked through. Even after an extended break from traveling, it is always ready to go after a few hours of loading, systems checks and minor preparation. Mechanically, it is always ready to go and we have never had it leave us stranded. Turn the key and it starts right up and is ready….every time. For more specific information regarding design decisions made on this particular style of rig, see the various “Why we did that” videos posted at www.Earthcruiser.com .
This Earthcruiser has been outfitted with almost all the options that were available at the time of purchase by the original owner. All that’s left is for you to load your personal items and hit the road.
I’m sure people will ask: Why are you selling? We have certainly loved traveling in our EarthCruiser. It has done everything we have asked it to do over the last three years and taken us to places we did not think a vehicle of this size and weight could go. Often resulting in adventurer’s in Jeeps, Toyota’s, and so on, asking how we were able to get to some of the remote locations they have seen us camping. As far as what is next for us, we have taken Chuck (our Earthcruiser) all over remote areas of the United States, Canada and Mexico and are ready to move on to a new adventure. Possibly doing the Great Loop by boat, in the eastern United States. We have been so impressed with this vehicle, it’s capabilities, and customer service we have received from Earthcruiser HQ in Bend, OR, that if we decided to purchase another expedition style overlanding vehicle in the future, Earthcruiser would be our first choice. Just a quick note on Earthcruiser as a company. We spent several years looking at various brands and types of expedition vehicles before focusing exclusively on Earthcruisers. The engineering style of keeping things robust and simple so repairs and break-downs are less frequent and easier to deal with on the trail, really impressed us and made sense. The truck is very comfortable and capable off-road, it has never broken down on us. This seems to be the common remark made by other EC owners. Speaking of other EC owners. When we purchased our FX from the original owner, he notified Earthcruiser HQ and the owner’s forum. We were immediately welcomed into the Earthcruiser community by all the company and other owners. We were absolutely shocked at how the company itself has treated us like family since the day we purchased our pre-owned truck from the original owner.
Example: I have called Earthcruiser customer service many times (mostly when we first purchased the truck) for tips and advice regarding usage of systems and so forth. If the question was beyond the knowledge of the person who answered my call, they have gone above and beyond to get a timely answer back to me. When we were in subzero winter temperatures in Colorado and had a shower drain freeze up, I called customer service. The person at Earthcruiser told me she knew of another owner who uses their FX to regularly camp in cold temperatures. She would call them immediately and get back to me with any tips they may have to deal with the issue. She called me back 30 minutes later, giving me a simple solution, which has worked for us in cold weather ever since. This is only one example.. Don’t forget, I didn’t purchase our truck directly from Earthcruiser. That’s just the kind of customer service they provide. It's a great company who treats ALL their owners like family.
We are about to leave Arizona in a few weeks (if we still have the truck) and will be traveling towards the east coast, along the southern states. Please reach out to us with questions or to schedule a visit and we can advise where we are currently located.
Although we have traveled all over, we have been very diligent regarding keeping sand, salt spray and snow removal salt cleaned off the exterior and bottom of the truck. The previous owner lived in southern California and we live in Arizona so consequently rust is not an issue of any kind on this vehicle.
