Very Nice...

Any plan to add drop down steps on the cab for us older folks who might find that first step a little too much?

Our GXV Kenworth Patagonia has something like these added to the standard cab steps...

Built both for a number of uses ( Bush fire brigade, emergency response, blast drill rigs for mines , high security prisoner transport etc) , Fuso has more usable room for 37 inch tyre in factory 4x4. In particular for the entry steps and cab tilt etc.
Isuzu did have some advantages early on, (pic is a South African EarthCruiser) in particular a very nice pre emission diesel in the 4x4, much better than the FUSO 3.9 . Not a big fan of the cab.

Yes, they are already available by request.

e..... and the shop looks so clean!!

Yes, it does, it's the sterilization between shifts. Everyone is taking this very seriously to protect our crew, customers and anyone who has contact with us.

Will they still fit in a shipping container on 37" tires?

 

[DzlToy]

Outside of tire width on the truck that I posted is 84" and top of cab is 100" high.

Yep, EarthCruiser EXP V8 still fits in a box, dual cab included.

Yep, EarthCruiser EXP V8 still fits in a box, dual cab included.

Reminds me of a USPS slogan - "If it fits, it ships!" Now if they only had a flat rate shipping container......

 

[Michelle@EarthCruiser]

Actually the first one is an EXP and the 2nd an FX. The EXP should be driveable early next week and the FX soon (we're running a skeleton crew in the workshop to keep everyone safe so things are naturally taking longer).

2020 Family photo, they all have sparks plugs except for one. Can you guess which one?
Dual cab? - FX? - EXP? - EXD?

 

[gregmchugh]

I will go with the Chevy EXD with a Duramax diesel...

 

[Howard70]

I'm with Gregmchug. No sparkplugs and no approach angle on the Chevy!
