Our 2016 Earthcruiser Fx Is for Sale

July 16, 2023

Are you in the market for a turnkey, pre-DEF expedition vehicle that you can take across all continents? Look no further, we are selling our 2016 Earthcruiser FX built on a 2007 Mitsubishi Fuso FG Chassis!

🦄 This Earthcruiser is a unicorn: No DEF or low-sulfur diesel required! I believe there are only two Earthcruisers built on pre-DEF chassis in the US. This one and Lance’s EXP (Earthcruiser owner).

🎂 The cherry on the cake? This Earthcruiser has a five-speed manual transmission with 4WD hi/lo transfer case Unlike all the other ECs built on recent Fuso chassis, this truck can go in 4LO.

Mileage at posting: 107,xxx miles
Location: Escalante, UT
Price: $265,000

With current pricing, a new FX will cost over $595,000 from Earthcruiser.

The truck and the house were fully inspected by Earthcruiser in Bend, OR, earlier this year. In fact, I requested them to perform the inspection they would run on the pre-owned units they sell. So while it’s not “certified,” you can be reassured that the truck is in good shape and ready to hit the road.

Also, while in Bend, Earthcruiser took it to the nearest certified FUSO service center for a full inspection. Nothing to report!

Concerned about the mileage? Diesel engine are engineered to last much longer than gas engines. The mileage is not high relative to the life of a diesel engine.

Why Are We Selling?

We bought this truck to replace our previous home on wheels while we were still traveling full time. Our life changed quite a bit over the past few months. We stopped traveling and came back to our house in Utah. We barely used the Earthcruiser since we owned it, so it’s time to see it go…

Interested?

The Earthcruiser is available for sale in Escalante, UT.
