This rig was purpose-built to handle harsh winters and remote wilderness with:
No exterior tanks to freeze
Onboard air for instant winterization
Massive battery/solar to go completely off-grid indefinitely
Designed as a toy hauler but never used for hauling – only one week of light winter use
Engine rebuild completed April 2025 – just a few hundred miles on motor build. 72000 miles on body.

Can you tell me the interior height please?

 

[Rebuilder]

How much does it weigh? Who did the 4x4 conversion and is it coil or leaf spring? Hard to tell from the pics.

Why can't someone make these and sell them?

What's the length of the bed? Will you be posting more photos? Is it titled as an RV and have you been able to get full insurance coverage?

I will measure the bed for you tomorrow. A photo link has been posted for you. It is titled as an E-450 and is fully insured for the listing price.

It weighs 13400lbs. The 4x4 conversion was done by a private performance shop, they have done several builds for me over the years. This one has coilover suspension with air suspension. Thank you for the questions I have also uploaded a link with over 100 photos feel free to take a look!

Very nice! what wheels and tire size? is there a spare?

 

[Colorado720]

Good afternoon, everyone — thanks again for your patience!

Tire size is 285/70R17, and the bed dimensions are 90.5" x 58".

If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out — happy to provide more details. Photos really don’t do this build justice — the quality and capability are truly unmatched.
