Overland Expo West 2017 Skills Course

One of our owners putting his XV-LTS through the paces at Overland Expo West 2017.

[@Igor2242]

Amazing... I would really like to see it being tested on floods, how deep it can go without damaging the engine (as it doesn't have snorkel), the electronics or getting water into the cab. And also how it goes on very bad mud, without getting stuck. All the tests i've seen are on the rocks.

[@drewblais9019]

snorkels are far more effective for getting clean air form dust than water. most systems will fail before the sock air box floods, but they "look cool"

[@Naz-if4ft]

I can't imagine this vehicle can run on a bad mud since it's heavy

[@Sonyc-mk8zh]

Is diesel son no need for an snorkel

[@rb2268]

I can only imagine how many of these things are gonna be tipping over? Four wheeling + RV's don't really like each other that well. Been known to get into some nasty brawls that didn't end well for anyone!

[@joeybaby.]

This was outstanding love to have been the passenger!

[@brutallindigo]

Dream to own one of these.

[@marcrichardson6159]

build up a 3500 and buy a nice slide in camper. save yourself 400k

[@brettevans2475]

Is that shell hard mounted to the frame?? Didn't see really any frame flex going on, makes me think the shell is taking on a lot of force! Explains how the sleeping extension doesn't smash into the cab.

[@lorddoma6637]

Awesome rig!

[@Kalyptic]

If i win the lottery.

[@kittquezada9235]

me tooooooooo damn too expensive.

[@THEREALZENFORCE]

[@ryanstevens1855]

At best owners of these will drive on hard packed trails that barely require tuning 4 wheel drive on. Seems pretty capable though.

[@MatterIsNotSolid]

Impressive but when you see the price quite honestly expected.

[@sanjeevashekar8759]

Will it tip over ..... or not .

[@kevinmoss970]

I'd love one. Maybe just to tour the US. But in the real world I'm guessing its way too big and impractical for around the world overlanding.

[@maryellengrabendike4620]

It ben a long time sence you upluded a video

[@rmedeirosbr]

Lindo., é um sonho de consumo muito distante do meu bolso, mas maravilhoso .

[@tom4542]

The suspension could be easily upgraded further to allow much more articulation. I assume you have a heavy duty sway bar on the front. Quick detach could help a lot for that. Airbags could also help when on a very sharp lean to bring one side up. These are awesome vehicles. The idiots screaming and talking crap in the background don't know crap. It's a well built overlander. It handles it's weight well. I'm curious if there are options for lightening your weight up top.

[@JM-nz8gw]

Half a mill and no locking diffs? -____-

[@mrfrogg46able]

if you want axles that can handle a12.5 k lb vehicle you have to use a 5 ton instead of a one and a quarter ton.

[@alphaonetwoonetwofive5680]

7:41 you can clearly see it has locking dif...

[@NomadYogaFamily]

nice one guys!

[@Hojiii]

Boom

[@110raider]

Rock n roll

[@PAC9322]

Ford 550 XVLT EarthRoamer Amazing 100% worth the money …… home and car and Travling the world if you wish 🍺🍺🍺🍺 Look 👀 at the rovers 😂 Like toys … would you like tea with it ?

[@juicewayne7247]

The most extreme part of the video is @6:18

[@danmuscarella5892]

Jared G why?

[@joshuajuarez3471]

That poor 6.4 diesel trying not to blow a head gasket.

[@hanedusitumeang1866]

X

[@STgauss3268]

Superlong wheelbase, not ideal for extreme offroad...

[@peterpotatoes]

This one has lockers, factory doesnt come with them...

[@danmuscarella5892]

Dur Duh ya know as I was watching this I was saying the same thing. To me it looks like it had lockers in it. Don’t think it could do that shit from the factory

[@daringries]

I can I hike faster than that with everything I need in a backpack.

[@bcb2585]

So the EarthRoamer didn't do anything my Subaru with a 2 inch lift couldn't also do confidently, and without any issues. Having said that, my Subaru isn't a small house. So there is some perspective on the matter. I get that with a vehicle that big, and with that many amenities, it cannot also be amazing off road. I just wish that the marketing behind the vehicle was more hones about its lack of serious off road ability.... That or show us the truck actually going off road on more than just manicured, pre-planned tracks in which every rock is laid in just the right place after rehearsed trial runs prior to the camera roll. The track/ course in this video was like a trolley ride at the amusement park for kids and grandparents... No danger, no risk, easy, slow, and predictable.

[@andrewjones-ex5xo]

all this video proves is a professional driver on a man made course. that he probably navigated 100 times or more, is good at his job at expos. lol. there is only 1 video of these things on youtube of a person that bought one, brought it on a trail and got it stuck in a little bit of mud! the earth roamer was winched up an still couldn't get un stuck. this truck is made for all show, and idiots with deep pockets buy them, they don't even have locking differentials!

[@biglee3816]

I'm gonna sell a lot of drugs, and raise half million dollar then buy this monster.

[@adriannerodriguez4707]

I wanna see this beast tackle Australian off-road in Fraser Island

[@lorddoma6637]

Man It would be cool to have one of those here in Alaska!

[@CantPickTheNameIwant]

Guys, you must put a dif locks and do something with a rear cardan - it takes so much clearance, and what are this things on both sides of rear axel, are these rear breaks?

[@RichardHubbuck]

That vehicle defies physics when offroad.

[@kellivanbonn4692]

I feel like you go past 10 degrees side hilling and you can kiss your earthroamer goodbye.

[@leventerdogan2357]

Karavana sahip olana özenmemek elde değil.Sahip olanlar iyigünde kazasız belasız binsinler. İyşallah benimde olur

[@teachingbeats]

It was basically flat, put any kind of steep approach angle like you truly find off road and it would be a mess

[@danmuscarella5892]

This truck gets a lot of slack for being sooo expensive. But it really is a great truck.but open diffs? You put lockers in that thing front and back and I bet people would shut up about how it’s not good off-road. I’m assuming it’s not an option because it would void the factory warranty? That and I’m sure 98 percent of the people that own them are to scared to take it off road. But it’s pretty good off-road as it sits.

[@theoutsider1970]

Dan Muscarella the newer model fords like 2011-2019 diesels all come standard with locking diffs just not the 2008-10 model like this one

[@stevendhanjal3679]

Nice vehicle, but no way its worth half million $ !!

[@KalenvS]

It's not worth half a million to people who don't have half a million.. but for people who do, it is lol

[@abdullahnal-anazi7881]

I follow you and admire your content and would like to ask about the price of this vehicle and the cost of shipping it to Saudi Arabia

[@bluesharp59]

Very nice video, gave a like.

[@sbiruli]

It would be better one only cabin, most short for 4×4

[@moparmtb360]

They do offer a regular/single cab.

[@nickhechtel640]

whats the status of the xv-hd?

[@lunamaria1048]

My husband's parents have an Earthroamer... It makes my overland built 4Runner seem ghetto lol... I felt like I spent a lot on my little rooftop tent🤣

[@СашаДяченко-ь5в]

Корова 🐮🐄 а не машина.

[@izzyvet]

LOL, at 4:25 both makes of vehicles I own are in the same shot. Land Rover Evoque on the left, EarthRoamer on the right! I just bought a pre-owned Earthroamer, fabulous so far!

[@loupatterson7080]

Congrats! We've put 50,000 miles on ours.

[@mouryamk3986]

You brought that thing for half a million

[@BillSprague]

In an Earthcruiser EXD or EXP, maybe but and EarthRoamer with no spotters, not so much.

[@gm061386]

This was awesome! As soon as win the PowerBall am ordering mine. Please add more videos like this. Very Impressive!!

[@Toph.Beifong.]

Oh if only these weren't so damn expensive :(

[@lorddoma6637]

Gabrierl Mendez Not if I win the lottery first!🤣

[@nilson4683]

Do you export to Brazil?

[@megenda4724]

Amazing driver

[@russianbot3411]

[@EarthRoamingAdventures]

[@leviwright9705]

[@FordFan01]
