EarthRoamer XV-LTS (S for Stretch)

I suppose that will be on the 19,500 GVWR chassis. Looking at the fuel and water specs it seems it would need to go up from the 17XXX GVWR. The 2011 Superduty has some nice offroad engine/transmission modes that should benefit the ER.
I don't believe the 2011 F550 cab/chassis is even available yet.

It says that in the 2nd paragraph.
They may just be putting out the specs based on what Ford's specs are.


I like it, I want basically the equivalent sized vehicle for a family adventure rig. I doubt I could ever afford a new one though! lol

36.7 kwh?
That's TWELVE 8D batteries! Over 1900 lbs.
The two that the ER has now at 255A-hr each, at 12.0V, hold ~6 kwh.
Even the largest Unicats only carry six 8Ds.

perhaps he's using some of the new lithium batteries from electric cars etc. Probably a lot better power density but $$$$$

It will certainly limit the offroadability of the vehicle somewhat, but it sure would provide some much needed space inside the vehicle.

I like the ER a lot, but they are a touch small.

Bunk beds on one side would sure be nice! (yeah well, so sue me I have kids!)

Bill--Floor plan, please! Even if it's still a work in progress.

Telsa roadster stores 53 kWh. That pack would likely be in an acceptable size/weight range for the ER.

Yeah floor plan. I need to update my bedside material! +1 on bunk beds on one side.

Yeah kids too........

Less useful for off roading, but increased capacity.

The only really limiting thing is the turning radius, IMO.. with the MPT81s and the suspension all the way up the breakover doesn't look like it'd be too far off the 37" tires stock..

I would like to see a shortened XV-LT too

Could be based off the 6 3/4' bed Super Duty 350/450.. Crew Cab would be 158" and Supercab would be 142"..

+2 for bunk beds.
