Oregon-based EarthCruiser have converted a familiar delivery truck into a full-featured overland vehicle. The beastly EarthCruiser EXP Camper
is built on the chassis of a Mitsubishi Fuso (one of the most popular
medium-duty trucks globally), and was outfitted with a four-wheel-drive
system, complete with two-speed transfer case, full floating axles and
air-powered locking hubs. It also has more than 11 inches of ground
clearance, so it can scramble over rocks with ease. Powered by a
GM-sourced 6.0-liter smallblock V8 making 297 hp and 361 lb-ft of
torque, the mighty camper includes all of the typical amenities that can
be found in an average home, including a full kitchen, dining area,
bathroom, and several beds. The overlander can also be used off-grid, it
comes with air and water heaters fed by a 15-liter diesel tank, while a
trio of 160-watt solar panels help provide juice for the lithium-ion
battery. The 2020 EarthCruiser EXP can sleep up to 5, and gets a custom
cabin with a pop-top roof area, clearing room inside to give you almost
seven feet of headroom once you are all set up at camp.
