The popularity of full-size pickups for overlanding has exploded in recent years, and for good reason. Executive Publisher Scott Brady states, “When we first started Overland Journal, the compact pickup was by far the most popular choice for overlanding, but that gap is quickly narrowing with full-size variants. The reason is simple—big trucks are more capable than ever before, and they have the payload to haul more than a few passengers and a basket of groceries.” Further still, with both OEMs and the aftermarket committed to uprating full-size trucks for overlanding, there’s huge potential to optimize these vehicles for exploration. To this end, cue today’s one-owner, ultra-low-mileage 2024 Ford F-350 Lariat (4,800 miles), which has been optioned from the factory with the Godzilla Gas motor, FX4 Off Road Package, 11,400-pound GVWR Package, and the Camper Package (see original listing for details) to create an out-of-the-box pinnacle overland platform. This formidable package was then overhauled from the ground up with premium aftermarket parts and accessories and finished with a well-appointed AT Overland Aterra Topper. This setup provides everything you need and nothing extra, and could serve as a practical daily/workhorse or be outfitted with a modular interior and driven around the world. At $110,000, this as-new package represents impressive value and would cost you more than $150,000 to recreate. Finally, you can buy with confidence, as not only is this rig sold with the basic warranty, but it was also purchased with a 120-month/100,000-mile plan that covers 100% of all scheduled maintenance and oil changes every 7,500 miles (a $3,500 option).
From the Seller:
“This is a great buy for someone looking to get into a new, meticulously thought-out build at a $40,000 discount. It’s the perfect expedition vehicle for reliable simplicity, maximum comfort, and capability. My wife and I built this to drive to Alaska, Baja, and to spend a year traveling through the national parks, which has been a dream for over 15 years. But life happens, and that will need to wait. This was my 5th overland build after 4Runners, Jeeps, Vans, etc. The F-350’s reliability and comfort cannot be beat. It’s also easy to store this camper and use the truck as a daily driver, which is why we chose the topper versus flatbed build. This truck is brand new with only 4,800 miles (will increase). We special-ordered the F-350 from Ford with very specific specs to achieve optimal comfort, great off-road performance with a short wheelbase, and future add-on capabilities.”
