6.7L Cummins turbo-diesel engine, 6 speed automatic transmission
Icon 4.5 inch Stage 3 suspension system, Alcan leaf springs, AirLift air springs (air bags) and cradles, 37 inch Nitto Ridge Grappler tires (37x13.50R17LT E 121Q) on 17 inch AEV Salta HD wheels, ARB maximum output on-board air compressor, rear ARB air locker, front ARB Summit bumper with ARB intensity LED driving lights, ComeUp Seal Gen2 16.5s (synthetic) winch with remote control, front and rear cameras, trailer brake controller, apple carplay/android auto capable headunit and upgraded speakers

PLEASE NOTE: this truck is “deleted”. Specifically, the EGR, DPF and NOX have been removed and the truck has been tuned. Deleted vehicles are difficult to register in places that smog test. If you live in a place that smog tests, please look into how you’re going to register this vehicle before considering to purchase it. The state of Montana specializes in this sort of thing.

2015 Four Wheel Campers Hawk Flatbed Model
Inside: queen-sized bed with underneath storage, dinette that converts into a twin bed, flush mount glass top sink and stove, refrigerator with freezer, forced air furnace with thermostat, built-in waterless toilet, hot water shower, thermal insulation and two roof vents (one vent has a fan, one does not)
Outside: hot water shower, 8 foot awning, LED lighting package, rear LED flood lights, side wall steps, roof rack tracks (which the solar panels are mounted to) and rear wall rack with four maxtrax and two jerry cans
Utilities: 20 gallon water tank, 6 gallon hot water heater, two 10 pound propane tanks, 320 watts of solar power charging dual 6 volt batteries controlled by a MPPT charge controller (the batteries also get charged by the truck’s alternator when the vehicle is moving) and the camper can also hookup to water and power

Other
8 foot steel flatbed, powder coated with rub rails, a custom headache rack, tunnel box (where the full spare tire is - a new 37” General Grabber X3) and four underbody boxes. On the rear of the flatbed, there is an air compressor outlet and the two air bag inlets.
The steps/sliders are mounted to the truck’s frame and there is a fuel tank skid plate.
The rear axle ratio is stock at 3.73.
Mpg is between 14-16. A full tank of diesel (35 gallons) will get 500 miles.
Gross weight is 10,160 lbs… 5,020 over the the front axel, 5,140 over the rear.

Service
The transmission was rebuilt by the previous owner approximately 30k miles ago and the following was done 2k miles ago… new front rotors, brake pads and calipers, new steering box, new tie rod and bushings, new upper and lower ball joints, new 37” Nitto Ridge Grapplers (with lifetime replacement from Discount Tire) and rebuilt all four Icon shocks.

Issues
Due to the oversized tires, the speedometer is not accurate, however, there is a gps speedometer mounted on the dashboard to monitor speed, the front camera works intermittently, the refrigerator handle is loose (but it still works) and there is rust on the bottom of both doors and wheel wells.

This is a professionally built, turn-key overlander. Aside from the aforementioned issues, everything works flawlessly. Is it new? No. The truck is 13 years old and has 200,000 miles on it. If you know anything about diesel/cummins engines, then you will not be concerned with the age and miles. The camper is 6 years old, but looks and functions like new. I actually prefer this older model because the toilet is underneath the dinette.
This truck is so strong, I routinely pass other vehicles going up hills. And when put into 4wd low, this truck turns into a tractor... it will go over anything and everything. If you happen to get stuck, the winch and maxtrax are available to help you get unstuck. The Nitto Ridge Grappler is a great hybrid mud/all terrain tire and airing up/down is no problem with the on-board air compressor. The 320 watts of solar power will keep the camper energized for days/weeks/months? (I actually don't know because I've never come close to running out of power). And I will include a bunch of camping and recovery gear with the sale, making this a truly turn-key overlander. One of the best things about this truck camper is how quick and easy it is to go camping... turn the fridge on, fill up the fuel and water tanks and you're ready to hit the road and beyond.

Beauty looking truck! Where did you get the single jerry can mounts from? About to build my own but would rather buy off the shelf!
