Overland Classifieds :: 2016 Ford F-550 Custom Overlander

Luxury overland vehicles have become increasingly popular during the pandemic as more people travel closer to home. Subsequently, this has led to long wait times for new builds and inflated prices for used examples. EarthRoamer is arguably the pioneer of this sector, producing vehicles well in excess of $1,000,000 (check out their $1,900,000 HD model for reference). The company’s LTI model, priced between $750,000 to $800,000, is arguably their most iconic vehicle, and is based on Ford’s legendary F-550. EarthRoamers are undeniably epic, but at almost a million dollars, they’re also very exclusive and inaccessible to the vast majority. However, fear not because today’s custom one-off luxury overlander is also based on the F-550, incorporates many similar premium features and modifications, yet is a third of the price, at $238,000.

From the Seller:

This overlander was built to keep you out there ‘indefinitely’ in luxury. Top -end material and equipment, regularly serviced, and optioned out. This is the rig that will go where others will not dare. The photos speak for themselves. Maintenance records provided and sorted by date.”
