Ford’s E-Series vans are a desirable overland platform thanks to their spacious internal dimensions versus modest external footprint, durable motors, interior comfort, and availability of OEM parts. In addition, these vehicles enjoy access to heavy-duty 4WD conversions and a vast catalog of aftermarket components and accessories. We’ve featured numerous expedition-equipped examples, including this 2006 Super Duty with Stahl service body, a 2006 Sportsmobile, and a 2010 Ujoint 4×4. Today’s low-mileage (80,000 miles) E-250 4×4 has to be one of the most impressive to date. It features a long list of premium modifications, a fully-equipped camper interior, and a Sportsmobile Penthouse electric pop-top roof. Impressive aftermarket support ensures these vehicles can be tailored to their owner’s specific requirements, as demonstrated by these stunning builds from Timberline Vans and Colorado Campervan.

From the Seller:
“The Beast includes everything you need to hit the trails and camp on day one—even a Wusthof chef’s knife. This van is decked out with every bit of off-road kit you could want, with a comfy interior when you reach the trail’s end. She’s been all over the country—over the Modena Pass, up to Coyote flats—and always keeps up with the Jeeps and 4Runners through Big Bear.”
