2021 Adventure Overlander F550 4x4 "Expedition" vehicle

They are when driving over erosion filled dirt roads often seeing one rear wheel in the air without traction due to the frame.

Arguing with people on the Internet is like playing chess with a pigeon,,,

Having owned f series big RVs on military tires for almost 15 years, including same as above.I can say the departure angle is definitely not the limiting factor.

Really... you never drive on trails where this departure angle would be a problem? Also, it looks like typical RV habitat construction.

The frame can't handle weight loads and often is at the limit or worse. The frame cannot twist enough to keep all four wheels on the ground when driving over roads with erosion and especially up hill.

Vans are bad too!

Even though jeeps have less weight capacity the wheelbase is much smaller. That's why you see a lot of guys with trailers.

Why not just ride a motorcycle? 😺

There we go. I fixed the departure angle for us.
Nobody needs that extra 6' of butt.
Man, this would be a killer rig at THIS size.

How does the cab over work with frame twist, when traveling on erosion filled dirt roads? I would suspect the cab roof is a hinderance to movement.

Is pickup truck platforms the wrong platform to build a expedition vehicle upon?

So many issues

Frame twist
Suspension travel
Weight capacity
Length
Turning radius
Cost of super singles
Axle limits
Frame length limits
