2018 EARTHCRUISER EXP BUILT ON A MITSUBISHI FUSO FG 4X4 DIESEL CHASSIS (10th Anniversary Addition)
EXP #48 is an Earthcruiser 10th Anniversary addition vehicle, complete with all the bells and whistles. It is a well built rig that provides the perfect balance of size, capability, storage and amenities. This overlanding vehicle has been our primary residence for 2 years, allowing us to explore the most remote parts of the US in comfort. The EXP has kept us comfortable in temperatures from 15-90F, has seen us through torrential rains and 60mph gusts, and kept us off grid for weeks at a time.
This rig has been well taken care of by two owners. We purchased it certified pre-owned from Earthcruiser in 2022. It has been straightforward to maintain and has required minimal repair. Significant maintenance includes a full 60,000 mile service and inspection by a certified Mitsubishi Fuso technician as well as installation of new house and truck batteries in 2023. It currently resides in Vermont, where we are settling down.
