Adventure, Made More Attainable Than Ever

At EarthCruiser, we do things a little differently—and that’s a good thing. For our legendary EXP and FX overland vehicles, we offer just four exclusive build reservations each year, built to order. These bespoke builds are managed directly by EarthCruiser HQ, guiding you from design through delivery and training—no matter where you are in the world.

When you’re planning your Overland dream machine, three questions matter most

Where are you going?
Who’s going with you?​
How long are you going for?
Once you’ve answered those, the rest becomes much easier—trust us. We’ve been doing this a long time

Construction & Customization
Build time varies depending on your model and selected features. Some customers prefer simplicity, while others know from experience what they can’t live without. Whatever your vision, one thing never changes:
  • Structural integrity and engineering excellence are non-negotiable.
  • EXP & FX models are highly specialized and purpose-built.
  • MOD & Terranova models are not externally structurally customizable, but offer extensive interior personalization options. Choose from our tested EarthCruiser accessories, or collaborate with your builder to craft the perfect internal systems.
Important note: We strongly recommend not using propane systems. There are better, safer alternatives for heating and cooking.

An EarthCruiser is built for that dream.
Unlike mass-produced RVs, every EarthCruiser is built from the ground up with true overland capability in mind. Every component is carefully considered and tested to perform in real-world, off-grid conditions. This is the EarthCruiser difference—and it’s what sets us apart. We might say no to something, there will be a reason for that.

Your EarthCruiser MOD or Terranova house will be built at our facility and delivered to your preferred upfitter. Depending on your amenity choices and personalization, your:
  • MOD could be ready to roll immediately—or after a few enhancements.
  • Terranova typically takes around 8 weeks.
Expect consistent updates, including progress photos from your builder. When your vehicle is ready, a comprehensive walkthrough and system orientation will be provided by your upfitter. Off-road and adventure training is also available through EarthCruiser Innovation to help you get the most from your new rig.

Personalize your earthcruiser
Most major components of an EarthCruiser were purposefully designed after years of testing and experience in the field. Because each component was selected and designed to work as part of the overall system, and to ensure each vehicle meets the EarthCruiser standard, we limit design changes to our core systems. We do offer a range of EarthCruiser certified personalized options; from killer wraps to advanced water filtration systems.
