2021 SLRV-ACELA 6X6 FOR SALE
My wife and I have decided that recent health issues will limit the amount of time we can use this vehicle. As such, it is now for sale. You simply won’t find a more comfortable or complete expedition vehicle. And you won’t have to wait 2 or more years for it.
The chassis is a 1999 Acela 6x6 that was completely overhauled and delivered in December 2019. The chassis was then shipped to Australia to have SLRV build a 6.8 meter box on. Everything was completed and the finished expedition vehicle arrived in the US in June 2021.
You can read about the entire build on the forum. Here is the link

You can do a virtual walk through around and inside our expedition vehicle. Here is the link:

At the end of this post you'll see shots of the interior and exterior as well as some pictures of our recent trip out west this summer. I hope our very special expedition vehicle finds a good home and gets taken to more and more remote places.
Price: $675,000.
Currently located in Tucson, AZ.
