If you can keep the weight down and the price under $200,000, I think there would be a large market for the EXD with a cabover bed. Recent price increases on the GXV Adventure Truck and the EXD have kind of pushed them out of reach for many people.

Not that any of the words made much sense, but it's Turbo, not Trubo. ;) Or maybe you did that on purpose. Ha.

I was thinking about that also. They run the V-10 and now the 7.3 gas in huge Class A motor homes. I have to believe it would be adequate for the smaller Adventure Truck. For one thing the chassis cab is about 800 pounds lighter with the gas motor. That might allow you to use readily available...

It's not surprising that some of these custom rigs that sell for over $500,000 would have disputes from time to time. It would be simpler to just build a basic unit like the Adventure Truck with well defined parts and prices. I can only imagine how complicated it is to get all the details right...

Has anyone talked to GXV about how many Adventure Trucks they have actually sold? At least with ER they number their rigs to show how many they produced. EC does that also.

Looking at the GXV and AT websites, it looks like the base Turtle box is 9" longer and 3" wider than the base AT. That extra width can allow them to put the bed EW rather than NS and makes it easier to get a 60x80 queen bed in there.

So, I thought at first that these two links were for the same vehicle, but it looks like these are different vehicles. Has anyone looked at both of them. I kind of like the first one better at first glance. https://overlandex.com/photo-gallery https://www.unboundfreedom.com/

Maybe, but it probably won't be as good as the equipment EC is using on their conversion.

I agree. You would have to think that combo would be at least as good as a Class A 34' motor-home running a Ford V-10. Probably a lot better really. Still going to be a little slow going up a long pass, but my Sportsmobile with the V-10 doesn't exactly fly up the grade from Bishop CA to Mammoth CA.

Here is the official announcement from Mitsubishi: https://www.mitfuso.com/en-us/news-and-events/mitsubishi-fuso-truck-of-america-inc-announces-strategic-shift-for-us-and-canadian-markets

Not good. https://expeditionportal.com/mitsubishi-fuso-halts-new-truck-sales-in-na/

Their website still needs some work, but it looks like they have some new photos of the rig and it looks pretty interesting if we are still talking in the low $200,000 range. Looks like a large storage area in the rear for bikes, etc. https://overlandex.com/photo-gallery

Yes, I have seen the Isata 5 at about $170,000. Not cheap, but way less than a real Earthroamer or the other real expedition campers. And, you can find these on the lots and get one right away.

Not sure where to put this, but it's on a Ram 5500 chassis and is available in 4x4. Not really an expedition camper, but a nice option for touring the US with a small Jeep as a dingy for exploring around. We are thinking about one of these. You can get a new one for around $170K. Not cheap, but...

I like the Herman Miller chair. If you are going to do any real work for extended periods of time, that would be worth the effort.

I just received an email from Quigley saying they have the engineering completed for the 2021 E series cutaways that can be done for any B+ or C RV before or after the camper is completed. Maybe this doesn't belong in this topic, but I couldn't find a better location. Might be an option for...

https://www.ford.com/commercial-trucks/e-series-cutaway/?intcmp=hp-rvv-vhp-econoline%20cutaway Looks like they are sticking with the 6 speed transmission for now, but that motor would be awesome.

Don't know how long the E350 cutaway will be around, but that with the new 7.3 gas and 4x4 similar to Quigley or UJoint with the EXD rear would be a beast.

But, the Chevy with a diesel could tow a 10,000 pound trailer up a hill at 65 mph if needed. Different vehicles for different uses.

Is this a new product from Global Expedition Vehicles? I don't remember seeing this at the AT website before. https://adventuretrucks.com/products/panels?variant=30114331951176
