This weighs as much as a fire truck loaded with water and a crew of 4. Dang.

Very nice though. I'd drive it. Or buy a beach house. One of the two. Probably the beach house.

Yeah all these expedition class trucks are heavy. unavoidable unfortunately. Even the carbon fiber truck house is 12500 lbs without all the passengers/gear.

Quality products are heavy. Heavy load required heavy chassis and drivetrain. Heavy chassis requires heavy engine and transmission. Heavy weight requires heavy tires. Heavy rig requires friends with a heavy winch and a heavy amount of payback beer...

It goes on and on in circles

I wonder why the bed doesnt extend over the cab? $400K USD and I have to crawl over my wife?

Still shocks me when I see the price. Not necessarily this one, just all theses types built on the 5500 frame.

As I build mine, I see so much that is questionable in these builds. Starts with the super singles

IMO : the cab over is a better platform

Is this rig considered an rv?
Seems it would be a bit limited in it's off road capability,
maybe more of international type exploration rig?
Just for giggles, it's about $20.00 a pound 😄

Beautiful rig but way out of my league at $553,000 CAD. Could buy a nice house in Edmonton for that

The over cab bed is an extra 100k.
