I saw a post on Instragram by Acela around the debut of this truck at Overland expo east. Full specs here.
Has anyone ever heard about this company?

I have seen a few of their custom builds built on LMTV chassis. I'll be at Expo East so it would be nice to check it out.

Electric HEAT?? Do I need to spell out the reason for why that’s idiotic? Am I missing something in the specs? What is a “toe kick heater”?
Obviously in a camper built for that market segment, a diesel fired heater, preferably hydronic (quiet) is the way to go. Either Webasto or Espar.
Acela appears to do things right up to a point, including a rear NoSpin on every 4x4 rebuild (not mentioned in the MOAB blurb), and a CTIS rebuild. But the lack of a low range TC when upgearing from 7.8 to 6.14 in a camper carrying the kitchen sink is a negative. 42:1 with 47” tires and the mass and moment of inertia and inevitable loose stuff in a camper isn’t very low.
