G’day All,
Trust all is well in your world.
Production and Momentum
Production is underway, and momentum is building. We’re working closely with our national Build Partners and have established an MSRP for the MOD 300 at $21,995 and the MOD 400 at $23,995, making these extremely good value.
Working through a dealer network is new for us—and I don’t know why we didn’t make this change years ago! Now, more people have access to EarthCruiser quality and service across the country than we could ever support from just one location. It’s been an “exciting” step in our evolution and one that sets us up for a bright future.
Check out our Build Partners to find the one closest to you.
For Sale by Owner Page
Our new For Sale by Owner page is getting its final tuning before it goes live in the coming days. We’re introducing a new format that will include an assortment of certified overland vehicles, not just EarthCruiser products as we have in the past.
Why EarthCruiser Vehicles Hold Their Value
EarthCruiser vehicles—no matter the model—are designed to be almost infinitely upgradable as technology improves over time. It’s easy to upgrade air conditioners, solar systems, or replace AGM batteries (good old-fashioned lead acid) with lithium power storage.
We made it that way from the very beginning. The EarthCruiser exterior design is classic and legally protected. Created and proven to be almost indestructible, these are just some of the many reasons they hold their value so well.
It’s also straightforward to personalize them inside and out—and our Build Partners are always happy to help.
Limited EarthCruiser EXP Build Slot
If you were wondering, we have just ONE (1) EarthCruiser EXP build slot available after last month’s letter.

Choosing the Right Overland Truck
Got your eye on an overland truck already? It’s a great idea to consider what it would really be like to live with that vehicle when an “unavoidable adventure” comes your way.
Here’s a simple but important test: try changing a flat tire all by yourself—ideally using only the tools that come with the truck.
You might be doing it at night, in the rain, or on a lonely desert road in summer. This practical test tells you whether that vehicle (and builder) is truly right for you.
You’re buying a specialized piece of equipment for a specific task, not just an RV. This check is just as important as the test drive—or making sure the fridge size fits your needs.
EV and Hybrid Innovations
Exciting things are happening in the EV and hybrid space. While these options may not yet be ready for a Sahara crossing, they’re quickly becoming worthy of serious consideration.
The world keeps changing. Once upon a time, if it didn’t have an old diesel engine from a military truck, you weren’t serious—until you found yourself stuck at 55 mph on the freeway trying to get away for the weekend!
Times change, and EV infrastructure is improving. EarthCruiser is watching closely, and we’re committed to adopting these technologies when the time is right.
Respecting Public Lands
It’s encouraging to see more people recognize the incredible gift of America’s public lands. These are treasures we all share, and it’s up to us to preserve and protect them.
As we always say: take two rubbish bags. It’s a small act that makes a big difference—and people notice.
Looking Ahead
From production and partnerships to customer insights and new technologies, EarthCruiser continues to learn and grow as an organization. We’re humbled by the loyalty of our customers and excited by the possibilities on the horizon.
Travel Far. Travel Safe. Travel Well.
