Purpose-built for extended travel well beyond paved roads, the EarthCruiser FX combines a compact Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4 chassis with a fully self-contained expedition habitat designed to operate independently of campgrounds and external infrastructure. This 2019 EarthCruiser FX #52 is offered by a private seller in Bend, Oregon with approximately 35,000 miles and a recent professional appraisal of $280,000.
Built on a 2017 Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 Canter chassis, the FX measures just 22'6" long and 6.75' wide, giving it a relatively compact footprint for a vehicle with permanent sleeping accommodations, a full kitchen, indoor and outdoor showers, substantial fresh-water capacity, solar power, lithium batteries, air conditioning, and diesel-fired heat and hot water.
The seller reports recent maintenance including a full engine service, four new all-terrain tires, a new windshield, and servicing of the Webasto air and water heater. The truck will be available at Expedition Vehicle Service in Bend, Oregon beginning September 27, 2026.
- Fuso 4x4 Platform: Underneath the EarthCruiser habitat is a 2017 Mitsubishi Fuso FG Canter 4x4 chassis with a 3.0-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel, six-speed Duonic automatic transmission with manual capability, engine and transmission braking, and a 60-gallon diesel tank. The seller-provided specifications list output at 161 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, along with an average fuel economy of approximately 10-12 mpg.
- Expedition-Focused Chassis: The FX rides on RadFlo long-travel valved shocks and progressive leaf springs with 16-inch alloy super-single wheels. Protection and recovery equipment includes a front bull bar and brush guard, rear high-capacity tow bar, and Warn 16.5 winch with synthetic rope. A factory Safari rack adds overhead cargo capacity, while auxiliary LED lighting includes Vision Light Cannons, compact work lights, and an LED off-road light bar.
- Independent Habitat: EarthCruiser mounts the house to the chassis using a kinetic system that allows the two structures to flex independently over uneven terrain. The habitat includes acrylic windows with integrated bug and privacy screens, electrically operated entry stairs, an electric passenger-side awning, and a thermal privacy curtain separating the cab and living quarters.
- Off-Grid Systems: Electrical power comes from 462 watts of flush-mounted Solbian solar panels paired with 450Ah of Lithionics house batteries, a Blue Sky solar charge controller, Victron battery monitoring, and a Victron MultiPlus 3,000-watt inverter/charger. The FX also includes shore power and a 12V DC air conditioner. Webasto diesel systems handle cooking, cabin heat, and hot water while drawing directly from the vehicle's fuel supply.
- Recent Maintenance: With approximately 35,000 miles from new, the seller reports that the EarthCruiser has recently received a full engine service, four new all-terrain tires, a new windshield, and service to the Webasto air and water heater. A professional appraisal was also recently completed, returning a value of $280,000.
The FX occupies an interesting middle ground in the expedition-vehicle world. At 22'6" long and only 6.75' wide, it remains substantially more compact than many large expedition trucks while still providing a permanent bed, convertible dinette, kitchen, bathroom facilities, 65 gallons of fresh-water capacity, solar, lithium batteries, air conditioning, and diesel-fired heating.
Its Mitsubishi Fuso FG foundation also gives the FX a purpose-built commercial chassis with four-wheel drive rather than relying on a conventional pickup platform. Add the kinetic house mounting system, super-single wheels, long-travel suspension, substantial recovery equipment, and compact overall dimensions, and the result is a vehicle designed around extended travel both on and off pavement.
This particular example further benefits from low mileage, recent mechanical and equipment servicing, and a long list of factory and supplemental equipment.
