    GXV Adventure Truck; how many here?

    Yes, less than 30 secs to lift the roof. We set it that way for safety reasons, e.g., to make sure you have enough space, no branches in the way etc.

    GXV Adventure Truck; how many here?

    We've been making 'pop tops' or more favorably lifting roof houses for a long time. Lance and I have a 5 minute rule, if it takes longer than 5 minutes to set up or take down, we don't do it or bring it with us. The EXD and EXP roofs are on worm drive actuators and we've set the timing to less...

    GXV Adventure Truck; how many here?

    Hmm, as I don't know you're real name I can't really comment, but we do try our best to be responsive and we have recently hired a new sales manager as well as a customer service manager to make sure we don't let anyone either customer or prospective customer fall through the cracks. We are...

    2017 FG Alert?

    When Fuso identified the rocker arm issue they were very quick to recall all suspect vehicles and fix them.

    NADA value on ER and GXV rigs?

    We have had both new and used customers finance EarthCruisers. We work with some very good lenders who understand our business. We'll be updating our Pre-owned page as we have several 'new' pre-owned become available.

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    Greg, Thank you for your continued support and we'll look forward to showing you around when you're in the neighborhood. We have the first dual cab in the shop and it will go into production in the next two weeks. It is an FX. The next dual cab will be an EXP and will probably be completed...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    At this time it will only be the purchase of a complete package. The world is changing rapidly and countries are leapfrogging from their current standards to new higher standards with lower levels of sulfur. When we were in North Africa two years ago, diesel was 10 ppm whereby in some places...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    The $125,000 you are referencing was for the EXD house only. It was assuming that a customer would bring us their chassis. The $185,000 includes the chassis as we have negotiated packages with our local dealers. We will be discussing EXD pricing next week and the new pricing will be posted on...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    The first EXD was mostly hand made. Since then, we've put all components through a tooling process, into our CAD system, made sure we have a sustainable supply chain, made sure we met the build specs from the manufacturers, created a back end system so we can fully support our customers and...

    EXD 350 - EarthCruiser on flat bed

    The EarthCruiser way is to build something and then test the wheels off it before a formal launch. We're now ready for that formal launch and think the EXD is an excellent addition to the EarthCruiser product line. How do we best communicate the details to you?

    Road manners of the Fuso or EC - school me

    I'm with you but sometimes people need to get where they're going faster so they have more time to spend at the destination.

    Road manners of the Fuso or EC - school me

    With the new 2020 V8 EarthCruisers you can comfortably go 70 mph uphill! As well they are quieter for a start but the way we have located some of our components we have made them quieter still. EarthCruisers have their own proprietary suspensions which are tuned to have good on and off road...

    Fuso SRW options

    I am not sure people in Taiwan would agree. At this time there is no one selling Alex Rims in Canada. They are completely high volume manufacturers.

    EarthCruiser Overland Vehicles

    We're seeing between 10-12 mpg as the engine gets worn in. It was on the lower side to start when we went to SEMA but was increasing the more we drive it.

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    The same 'house' albeit with some slight changes will be used for both single and dual cab versions. The water recycling system is a proprietary system and is very simple. We like simple. Less things to go wrong. Lance and I will be doing extensive field testing before we release it as an...

    2020 EarthCruiser?

    The first V8 FX is underway now and will be completed by early January. Next after that is a dual cab FX. Head room in the EXP has always been about 6'7". It is our 'cathedral ceiling' version. The FX is slightly less but not substantially.

    Ready to make larger committment, seeking ideas

    Maybe the best thing to do would be to go look at all of these options and then decide what is right for you. Personally I like knowing that when the weather is ugly I can be inside and not living on top of my spouse. I like knowing that I can go anywhere for long periods of time and then...

    Ready to make larger committment, seeking ideas

    We'll be travelling some of the summer (depending on how Goldy is doing) and will have vehicles (right now I don't know which ones) at BC overland and NW Overland rally. Best place to come see us is at our factory in Bend. As we always tell people, these are tools for a job-define the job...

    Safety concerns of global trips

    As long as you are aware of what is happening around you wherever you go and don't go making a spectacle of yourself then most of the world is full of friendly people who only want to show you the best their country has to offer. Petty crime happens everywhere. Bigger crime happens everywhere...
