Well I couldn't find time to make Expo this weekend, so I drove an hour North to the Earthroamer factory. Bottom line...these are impressive and the extra attention to detail is noteworthy. They had rigs in every stage of development and a couple of used ERs for sale. If you are considering one, I would highly recommend a factory visit. Tyler even met us on his day off..they are not officially open on Saturday. (no affiliation with ER).

I am considering a wide range of alternatives for an expedition vehicle including an F550 + custom TC, a Mitsu Fuso FG140 with custom built box, and now an ER!

Glad to hear Earthroamer is (apparently) doing OK. Did you see any sign of the stretched XV-LTS model?

Yes, they had a truck chassis getting prepped for the extended version, but I didn't pay too much attention to it. The wb is too long for my preference.

Of the three used ERs they had last weekend for sale, two were already sold! Mindful of the fact that these are consignment sales, it still points to a demand for well engineered expedition vehicles. Too bad we can't convince Darrin at RUF-Inc to start building on the Fuso chassis for another alternative.

They have 11 + on order and a wait time of about 14 months.
