The Ford F-250 is a popular full-size option for overland builds, with recent examples including a 2020 Super Duty Crew Cab, a 2021 Lariat Ultimate with the Tremor Package, and a 2022 Tremor with a Four Wheel Campers Flatbed Hawk. However, today’s 2006 offering is one of the most impressive to date. I have to say that the work invested in this build is nothing short of extraordinary, and it doesn’t surprise me that the seller has “well over $150,000 into the truck.” I often make the point that some of the best rigs provide maximum comfort in the smallest possible package, and this build is a prime example. The upgrades are truly extensive, so I recommend referencing the original listing for the full details, but if you’re looking for a live-in vehicle capable of tackling the toughest terrains, then this is a great option. If you’d like a better idea of what a modified F-250 4×4 is capable of when the tarmac ends, check out the backcountry adventures of Craig in Texas and 4WD 24-7. Furthermore, the F-250 showcases up to a 3,296-pound max payload, ensuring that if you’d prefer a more spacious live-in camper down the line, it will comfortably accommodate it. Today’s rig is priced at $50,000, which is amazing considering the time and money invested into the build and that the latest A/T Overland Habitat camper alone is $13,900.
From the Seller:
“This truck really is one of a kind, and people comment on it everywhere. I’m well over $150,000 into the build. It’s been an evolution as I figure out what works and what doesn’t. I’ve evolved it over time to see what really does work.”
