    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Thanks Greg, I hadn't seen the UK videos, that's a nice resource. Its helpful to get insights from other folks that have kicked the tires so-to-speak. We already have a call into a Wyoming KW dealer to see if we can sit in one. Appreciate your willingness to answer questions. Next step is...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Hey Greg, we are going to run down to MO this summer to (hopefully) sit in one. But can you compare how roomy the KW cab is compared to a FUSO? Have you been in both? Meaning, driver/passenger headroom and legroom and overall ergonomics? Bigger, smaller or the same? The FUSO seems...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    What?.... a belittling post from GR8ADV? Anyone wanna see my shocked face?

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Good points Keyne. I suspect a lot of people that go from having nothing to having a truck with the "bells and whistles" that are fun to talk about at cocktail parties find they don't use half the features that they obsessed over while trying to decide what they thought they might want or need...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Good Point Keyne I'll be dead before I see everything I want to in North America alone. Having a rig that allows me to get where I want to be, bring the things I want with me and be able to stay for a while is appealing - even if I never left the USA. For most people the FUSO based rigs are...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    With one complete and three in the pipeline, looks like GXV already has a grip on what's in their best interest. I know we are going to give it a hard look. A couple feet longer than most FUSO based rigs but with double the HP, Improved Torque and similar turning radius. Plus it has a chance...

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Interesting indeed. A cab-over with some balls and a decent payload.

    GXV Patagonia on the Kenworth K370 chassis

    Didn't think there was a 4x4 conversion for the K370 readily available. Did that change?

    Can anyone compare GXV and Earthcruiser?

    Agreed. If you are coming from a VW then it will feel like a race horse. We are coming from a diesel SMB so our expectations are different. You either have to go behemoth International BLM 4WD, or deal with the OAL issues of the F3/4/550 class. Sucks actually

    Can anyone compare GXV and Earthcruiser?

    ^^^^^ With all due respect, it could also be due to the fact that its mounted on a Fuso. I know there are several people here that are die-hard Fuso fans, and don't get me wrong they are very capable within a certain set of conditions. But those conditions are pretty limited. I have...

    Still watching your progress with great anticipation. We won't make it to the Expo this year but still can't wait to see you tackle a lifting roof to accommodate those of us that are, um, super-sized. :) Keep the pictures flowing, they make for good spring fever fodder.

    New GXV lifting-roof "Pangea" model

    Just speaking from experience, I've seen much heavier fully loaded BLM water carrying fire trucks with the same or similar chassis take off across the rocky headlands in similar vehicles with nary a hiccup.

    Truckport concrete advice please

    Not sure if you can find a similar product in Aus, but we just had a 66x50 shop built with pads in front and back of all doors. Concrete was machine troweled all the way around. I used this stuff and it has proven to be fantastic. http://www.concretesealersusa.com/ EDIT: We used the...

    We will be there......still in search of the right vehicle. Maybe perhaps we will find one.

    GXV Patagonia on Volvo chassis

    It seems to me the GXV clients don't put nearly enough windows in their designs.

    Xpedition Camper out of Minnesota

    Thanks for the spec sheet. We will be reaching out to you to set up some time for a thorough review in Flagstaff. Looks great. As I read through the sheet, there appears to be an option for a cab-over addition. Is that an available addition for the flatbed version you are documenting with...
