Supertramp Paragon - Turnkey camper - Hardsided camper and 8' bed pickup

[Chadx]

For those curious, when I go through the price list included in the STC email mentioned by @Spencer for Hire and add every single camper option, but keep the base single cab XLT pickup, the price goes from $190k to about $228 and that includes 1,080Ah of battery, enclosed shower, passthrough, Starlink, A/C, skylight, screen door, awning, upgraded DC charging, rear molle panel, exterior storage boxes, extra exterior plug for portable solar and 600w solar blanket, an outdoor kitchen, and a bunch of smaller stuff.

Add on top of that the Premium package (bumps to Lariat trim on pickup, Paperstone countertops, custom color on powdercoated cabinets, etc.), change pickup to a crew cab configuration, add Stage 2 suspension upgrade (full Carli package and 37" tires) you are at $265k. Then you can add the usual Ford upgrade prices for things like diesel.

Just sharing to give an idea on fully optioned rig since posters on FB/Insta are full of comments that these will be way above $300k once you add a some options.

I checked the website and the "Build and Price" section is still not active for the Paragon.

The Paragon is pretty compelling at the price (granted it will go up with options). I have been mulling selling our transit van (148hr AWD) at some point, and this definitely ticks a lot of boxes. I really l like the OVP Tahome as well as it has a bit more space, but if prices actually hold the $75k-$100k difference + the relative safety of a crew cab pick up (for a family of 4) makes a ton more sense for a "weekender" like myself.

Glad to see options starting to come out in this range! They both claim to be at overland expo in march as well. I think I will go to check them out this year!

We now know it doesn’t hold the 75-100K difference. Since with equivalent spec (37" etc) and loaded interior, it’s at 265K per Chad. It’s still a good difference though, with the Tahoma E. Nomad is also releasing theirs, for an unknown price. And if Geotrek would, it would be 230K since their sprinter version is 100K cheaper than the competition.
I also have a family, and the cab thing is both a pro and cons. Pro for safety, cons for comfort (you loose the entire cab space as a living space). Also, a pickup seat will be more comfortable than the van seat, but the seating position is worst (you sit low, vs high on a van, like semi truck drivers).

A Ford E box van vs a truck camper is a non ending series of pros and cons. A summary is that the box van will always win in interior space and livability and comfort (at comparable vehicle length), and the truck wins in safety, and cabin luxury if you are into leather ventilated seats and high technology. Offroad, there won’t be a difference between a 4x4 ford E on 37” and the Paragon. Equal capability and if anything the very short hood of the van makes it much easier to offroad without a spotter outside.

Personally between a Ford E at 330K and this truck at 270K, I am leaning towards the truck for the savings. But then come the Verus at 195K and the realization than the size and height of those vehicles is what will limit me offroad, and this becomes my number 1 on the list. Until they figure out sleeping for 4 that is.
If the 270K version of the Paragon was 200-230K I would be ordering today. 270K is basically 300K when including sales tax. I know this can be done, outpost showed it was possible on the slide in.

Do you mind sharing the price and optional list please? Also do you know length, height and width, and interior sanding height?
