    New Fuso 4x4

    Mitsubishi Fuso was early into the market with their emissions systems and paid the price for doing that. However, by the time they decided to step back they had them well and truly sorted. Their decision to leave the US market is probably more political than anything else. I think the fact...

    Switching from Ford E-Series to FC/cabover (like Sportsmobile to Earthcruiser 4x4)?

    A 3L diesel Fuso is going to be very different to a V8 Gas Fuso with a Chevy engine. But we're talking mainly speed up hills and on the highway. What I think you, Geoff, are talking about is driveability which is very different and the only way that it has any meaning is if you can compare on...

    Is 4x4 really necessary for a cabover build?

    I am not understanding what you are saying here?

    Should you still buy a Fuso in North America?

    Fuso, like a lot of other manufacturers had some issues with the introduction of the DEF systems in the earlier models. Although they can (and have ) upgrade the older systems the later year models have few if any issues.

    Should you still buy a Fuso in North America?

    Unfortunately last year Fuso stopped selling their 4x4 in North America. At EarthCruiser we make a Fuso 4x4 using the FE V8 model. There is no reason not to buy a Fuso.

    Fuso to halt US sales? What does this do to EarthCruiser?

    We all want to have access to different options but the reality is that the US market is just really small and can't support numerous offerings when the entry costs are so steep.

    MITSUBISHI FUSO TRUCK to withdraw from US market

    The Chevy is one option and will not limit us from building on the Isuzu as well.

    Thoughts on used EarthRoamer?

    Which is why we offer a hard sided fixed roof model with the same size foot print and capability....but it all comes down to your task and finding the tool that is right for you.

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    No need to be a gymnast, I do it all the time to make lunch, sleep, fill water bottles etc. Many of our customers use it. It just takes practice--in our case not to step on Goldy who sleeps on the floor under the dinette. The FX is 10'3" when we measured it the other day. We think it may be...

    Switching from Ford E-Series to FC/cabover (like Sportsmobile to Earthcruiser 4x4)?

    We look for both on and off road comfort and performance when we create our suspension system (we have a proprietary system designed for our weights and our ride). On corrugations 35-45 mph is very comfortable even aired up (but airing down a bit makes it even better of course). We don't...

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    Actually the first one is an EXP and the 2nd an FX. The EXP should be driveable early next week and the FX soon (we're running a skeleton crew in the workshop to keep everyone safe so things are naturally taking longer).

    Pandemic

    These are just tools and everyone has different needs. Water is the limiting factor for all which is why an EarthCruiser allows for filling up from anywhere with a purified water system. Our recycling shower system allows for good water management. If we could rely on people responsibly...

    Expedition Vehicle selection thoughts?

    The diesel Fuso EarthCruisers (of which there is only one left to build but several used for sale) have a good limited slip in the rear and we offer a front torsen locker. The new V8 2020 Fuso's come with air lockers front and rear. As for the use of AGM batteries, we started with them as for...

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    The DynaTrac axles we have were specifically made for us for our application (including proprietary tone rings) and are not an off the shelf axle that has been modified. As for the mileage with fully loaded weight, Lance and I took the new EXP out for a trip a few weekends ago. In the snow, in...
