I’m also willing to drive it out to whomever purchases the Truck!

One hell of a rig, have a whipple raptor r and miss my prospector xl, this would be a step up from the prospector!

Another picture. Made sure to keep the wiring very clean. You can’t hardly tell anything has been done.

One hell of a rig, have a whipple raptor r and miss my prospector xl, this would be a step up from the prospector!

I checked out the new Prospector XL and priced it out with comparable options—minus the things the Prospector doesn’t offer (ARB locker, dual compressor, swing-out rear bumper, MOLLE gear, rear aux tank, toolbox, etc.).

Just the upgrade components alone came out to nearly $44k. That’s actually not a bad deal—but you’d still need additional work to add those missing pieces. Once you factor in the cost of a brand-new, fully loaded 3500 plus the remaining add-ons, you’re well past the price of this truck—and you still don’t get the F-450 platform, which for some of us is a major advantage. The 450 isn’t small, but that’s kind of the point.

As a complete, well-thought-out package, the Prospector really is top-notch. My own build philosophy came from the same place. I didn’t want a truck lifted to the sky. Suspension lift is kept minimal—about 2.5” taller than a stock Tremor—which keeps the truck usable and stable. You also get the Dana Super 60, and the tighter turning radius is a noticeable benefit, especially for something this size.

If someone wants access to a truly purpose-built truck, this is it. You avoid the astronomical pricing of Elevation Off-Grid builds, and you get a true F-450 instead of a cab-and-chassis truck with a de-rated 6.7L.

Long post, but for anyone seriously in the market: you can’t buy and build this same truck for under $155k.

These trucks are an absolute blast. I’ll build another one someday.

Appreciate the interest!

Would consider trading my whipple raptor r and some cash. Raptor r with whipple innov8 wheels, milltek cat back, amp steps, billet upper control arms and front and rear bumpers…. Should bring 135-140 to the right buyer.
