What's the point of a going from 17 - 18 on a expo rig?

I see 18" steel wheels for +$1200, what are the std. wheels that are are not an upcharge?

Cool rig.

Not nitpicky.... I'd guess 8-10 mpg - guessing a mog is in the same ballpark. My rule of thumb has always been a lighter duty gas rig = heavier duty diesel rig, adding weight changes that dynamic a bit and so conditions but seems to work out on average. That is 'official' / rated...

Get a gas rig, it won't have any issues doing what you need it to do, has 3x the HP of a older mog and much much more comfortable to drive.

I bet a domestic 1T pickup w/gas engine will get better mileage than a diesel mog and be a helluva lot easier to keep on the road $ wise.

Honest question - if you are cross shopping a Mog, why not something like this? https://www.aev-conversions.com/vehicles/prospector-xl-cab-chassis/

Is the drivetrain known in Europe? What do those axles and tcase come in? I'm curious.... I think you are mixing reality with Ineos marketing - the Grenadier uses the exact same engine and transmission as a 3 series sedan and Supra. So if you are comfortable working on a modern BMW on the...

A Unimog is built to a standard that FAR exceeds that of a Grenadier, while a Mog may have a hard time sourcing parts, the chance a failure is very very low relative to any consumer grade vehicle. I wouldn't be too sure about the BMW/ZF stuff, we have a 2018 X5 with the same/sim drivetrain and...

Are your requirements 'fully loaded', 'dual lockers' and 'external reservoir shocks'? I mean those are certainly nice to have, but not required for 99% of expedition work. Kinda feels like you are ruling out a few rigs with those, unless those are truly deal breakers....they very well may be...

The expedition is a pretty rad rig with small lift and some 33/35's, the max tow, from what I understand, uses the big 9.5" rear end:

I had one on order if you remember a couple years back but push after push after push and I canceled and bought a Ram 2500, I wanna say it specced out right at 2300 lbs payload give or take, which is plenty for what I do with the truck.

What's wrong with a domestic 1T vehicle, you are losing me with your thought process TBH. If you want a HD version of your Tundra, with more payload than a Gren along with what could be considered a domestic Unimog, get an AEV specced Ram like what @ramblinChet did here, which is every bit as...

On the flip side, if you get a extended cab, long bed with HDPP you can get payload figures way ABOVE a highly optioned diesel F250....

https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/2021-f-150-payload-stickers.595/ I didn't go through the whole thread, but on the first page there are a couple in the mid 1300's....but I am pretty sure I've seen them in the high 1200's. Edit: Here is a max tow @ 14xx Here is one in the 1200's:

You'd be surprised how many F150's are less than 1500, some into the 1200's from what I've seen.

It's all bolt in stuff for the most part, so doubtful it's much trouble, I don't think anybody would argue with stronger drivetrain....Nissan (Patrol) and Toyota (LC) both used a robust overly built platform for their iconic rigs.....most modern rigs, especially ones with IFS are generally built...

The cool thing is now that it's based on the Bronco there is a very high likelyhood that you can swap to some of the HD axles F&R which blows away the competition. The Bronco has options for the HD44 front and D60 rear axles, along with HD front axle shafts, which put it right up there with...

I think for all intents and purposes a modern 1T, be it F350 or Ram3500, is every bit the overlanding vehicle for a fraction of the price from a practical perspective....you don't really need lockers and all the other offroad accoutrements for it to be effective. A base gas 1T pickup with a...

Post up a pic - vintage bikes command a premium depending on model.....
