If you’re in the market for a luxurious overland vehicle there’s no shortage of options with high-end offerings from EarthRoamer, SLRV Expedition Vehicles, Global Expedition Vehicles, EarthCruiser, and more. However, with starting prices in excess of half a million dollars, I can’t help feeling that many of the companies prioritize luxury rather than rugged capability to justify the cost of their builds. That said, I’d argue that EarthCruiser has remained true to its mission and continued to produce vehicles that are first and foremost designed to be dependable, capable, and versatile platforms for remote exploration. Sure, the interiors are beautiful and packed with technology, but they’re less extravagant than many of the alternatives. This probably explains why EarthCruisers are by far the most popular luxury rig featured on our forum with recent examples including a 2016 FX, 2018 EXP, and 2015 FX. If you’d like a better idea of how this vehicle performs when the tarmac ends head over to the Expedition Portal YouTube channel to watch Scott Brady Field Testing the EarthCruiser EXP. Today’s super low-mileage (14,000 miles) 2019 FX is sold directly from EarthCruiser Pre-Approved, which means this rig has undergone rigorous testing by the company’s engineers to ensure everything is perfect and will subsequently benefit from a six-month warranty.

From the Seller:

“The EarthCruiser Certified Pre-Owned Program also includes the Cruiser Crew membership for the new owner. The most sought-after membership for any expedition truck owner. Cruiser Crew exclusive membership is only available to EarthCruiser owners and lasts as long as you own your EarthCruiser. We also inspect the vehicle from top to bottom with our certified technicians and bring them up to date to give you peace of mind. Because of this rigorous inspection process, we warranty the vehicle for an additional 6 months.”

2019 EarthCruiser FX #61

Founded in Australia, EarthCruiser is highly-regarded for creating no-expense-spared overland vehicles for round-the-world travel. This stellar reputation ensures that resale prices often fall within 80 percent of the purchase price, which makes them a surprisingly cost-effective option for a long-term adventure. The company states that its reputation for excellence is built on a “lifetime of adventures in the remote Australian bush [and] grueling competitive rallies through Europe into the Sahara and Africa.” The EarthCruiser is underpinned by the proven Mitsubishi 4×4 FG diesel, which has undergone a complete transformation to create the ultimate expedition-ready vehicle.
