What if you are looking for an overland/expedition vehicle that can be your luxurious mansion in the wilderness, that is also so big and tall that it could run over cars without much problem? Then you probably want the EarthRoamer XV-HD. Here is a picture of one under construction.
It’s based on a Ford F-750 4×4 chassis in a crew-cab configuration and enough length to carry a giant RV. It rides on 46-inch tall off-road tires and carries 145 gallons of diesel fuel in standard trim. Propulsion comes courtesy of Ford’s 6.7L V8 Power Stroke turbo-diesel that has a commercial rating of 330 horsepower and 750 lb-ft of torque. This is the most powerful engine option available on the F-750.
This monster RV will have an ability to seat 8 people, sleep 6 people, and carry 200 gallons of fresh water. It is meant to be an “off the grid” type vehicles with 25.3 Kilowatt Hours batteries, 2.4 Kilowatts of solar panels, and two x 3000 Watts inverters. It will also have every comfort feature imaginable. You can even order an optional washer/dryer, if you are planning a night on the town after a long stint in the outdoors.
We cannot wait to see the finished XV-HD.
In the meantime, take a look at this thorough video walk-around of the EarthRoamer XV-LTS. This is a $475,000 self-contained overland expedition vehicle that is based on the Ford F-550 chassis.
