V3 is back for sale! V3 was completed in 2020 and sold to its previous owner. The previous owner Andrew took his family on multiple US expeditions and ultimately worked their way down to the Mexican Yucatan peninsula. They traveled and lived fulltime for nearly a year living the dream before returning to the states. They have finished their travels for the moment and have brought the truck back to Autarky headquarters to prepare it for sale. The truck has been tastefully upgraded by its previous owner and has been maintained with exceptional care. The truck is clean, prepared and ready to go on its next expedition.
The Truck was designed around extreme exploration and ultimate comfort. With a proven global track record the Diesel powered Ford Superduty platform was our first choice. We acquired a low mileage 4x4 F450 Ambulance in Denver Colorado where we proceeded to drive the truck back to our shop/home in Reno and begin its conversion. The ambulance was stripped down to its aluminum core – Completely re–engineered/Cad Designed/ and professionally rebuilt into the camper you see today. Instagram Handle - AutarkyEV
Price - 140,000$ Contact Zach at 775-200-3591
