The E-350 is a popular choice amongst overlanders due to its long-lived diesel motors, dependable drive trains, OEM and aftermarket parts and accessories availability, and access to 4WD conversion specialists. Over the past few weeks, we’ve featured several expedition-ready examples, including a 2002 4×4 Hightop, 2003 4×4 7.3, and a monster Quad Van 4×4. Today’s E-350 is one of the nicest to date, with a long list of premium aftermarket modifications, a well-equipped camper interior, and a sought-after “million-miler” 7.3-liter Power Stroke diesel (which has covered just 96,000 miles). At $82,000, it’s not an inexpensive vehicle but is reasonably priced when set against this comparable $145,500 E-350 4×4 Sportsmobile.
From the Seller:
“Here is your go-anywhere, self-contained 4×4 van. Custom built by myself, an engineer, who intended to keep it to travel North America with family. Needs nothing; ready to go! This is a beast and will serve for many miles to come with the trusty 7.3-liter engine. Clean title. No rust! Must sell as we are leaving the country.”
