2020 EarthCruiser?

[gregmchugh]

Hmmmm.... curious about how this going together. Seems like this would compromise breakover angle a bit.

EarthCruiser responded to this on Facebook, new transfer case has 1 inch more ground clearance than the one on the current builds.

Looks like everything is up on their site now. Impressive update! https://earthcruiser.com/our-vehicles/earthcruiser-exp/

Introductory price is $350,000. Price goes up in January...

That is an insane amount for what it is in the end...

50k truck and $300,000 for the little box???

I'm glad they are doing what they are doing now though, and if people are willing to pay for it then I guess they are funding research for the rest of the builders to copy in time...

Vortec V8...6 speed Allison transmission, Hero 2 speed transfer case, Full floating Dana 80's, 4 wheel disc brake, ARB airlockers, air shocks, 37 inch Toyo's, 60 gallon fuel tank, 462 watts of solar feeding into a 360 amp hr lithium ion battery...............and we haven't even opened the door yet!! That's an insane amount of technology for such a small price!! LOL Check out the full specs at EarthCruiser.com

I'm thinking closer to 100K in the chassis just in parts, if one was to try to copy... hoping you get all that gearing and measurements right the first time. This seems like the most capable off-road platform to date. Well done EC!

Compared to the competition for a complete vehicle, that price sounds about right to me. Plus you don't have to spend the next 5 years building it yourself. At my age, I can't buy those years back, so the price seems OK considering what it does and where it can go.

I like the ladder going up beside the driver door. Is that a new feature?

I agree, who produces a comparable vehicle for significantly less?

I think so, don’t recall seeing it before...

Saw the video on the interior today. Subtle but nice changes - especially the under bed storage. Not so sure on the shower door though.

I believe the FX model with the fixed roof is a good chunk less then the EXP right? Somewhere in the 250k price?

It is! Along with a ton of changes to both the drivetrain as well as the interior! The list of standard items has more than doubled on the 2020's

The standard items have really expanded. Can you give prices for the 2020 FX model and for the crew cab option?
