Earthroamer for sale. Check out his starting price!



eBay Motors: 2005 Earthroamer XV -LT 4x4 4WD 22K miles (item 180276717992 end time Sep-02-08 16:18:30 PDT)



I know it's a typo, but "1000 mile range Backup camera" included. :-laf:-laf

For a 175k it better have some gold in it. Lots and lots of it.

 

[klenger]

$175,000 for a Ford 6. 0L

 

[MMeier]

With only 22k miles on it , it could not have roamed the earth too much!!! But then again, how far can a 6. uh oh go??

 

[AMink]

It looks like a full bathroom... if you plan on peeing on your feet! I don't see a toilet or a black water tank. I can't see $125,000 on top of a Ford P/U in those pictures.

Try at least +$150,000 over truck cost (according to earthroamer's website). Prices start at just over $200k for this model with limited options.



I can't see what drives the price that high either.

 

[AMink]

There must be gold ball bearings in the water pump! I'm sure the structure is WAY better than a regular cabover, but holy how! Must be titanium!

wasnt the original earthroamer a dodge Cummins powered truck, and was not the original a member here? I thought that the guy that started or had the original "Earthroamer" was a TDR member.



Also, sad to see that they have fallen for the Carbon Credit scam and have teamed up with carbonfund.org..... 100k of the price is probably for offsetting its carbon footprint... .

I think the guys name is Bill Swails or Bill something. I met him at Thunder in Muncie when he still had the Dodge. He was a member here and used to contribute articles in the mag.

It gets a whopping 11 mpg? (or is it a 1000 mile range backup camera? :-laf)

 

[WDixon27]

it can roam to the many ford service centers around the country and you are fully equipped for the extended dealer stays waiting for back ordered parts :-laf

Maybe the Earth comes with it.

 

[Spooled-up]

Hey, it says right under the price that you can get low monthly payments!

 

[MMeier]

For how long... . 50 years!!??

 

[Boomer II]

For how long... . 50 years!!??

No, 50 is a short term note, better bump it out to 75.

But dodge didnt make a big enough truck to haul that behemoth so he had to go ford.



I think it has its place, but not in my driveway.
