This modified 2019 Ford F-550 Severe Duty Overlander 4×4 has sold, but you can explore more custom overland trucks, Ford Super Duty conversions, and expedition-ready 4×4 campers now on Fourbie Exchange.
Overview
Super Duty? Please. If you plan to go far
off the grid—and we mean
really far—you’ll want something tougher. Enter this 2019 Ford F-550 Severe Duty Overlander, converted by DBL Design and finished with a Four Wheel Campers Grandby Flatbed setup.
Offered by
Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this build started life as a 6.7-liter Power Stroke F-550 with 935 lb-ft of torque and evolved into a military-grade overlanding platform with luxurious living accommodations. Listed at $174,900, it’s an extraordinary blend of brute strength and off-grid comfort.
The Severe Duty F-Series: Built Beyond Super Duty
The team at DBL Design didn’t think
Ford’s “Super Duty” badge went far enough. About seven years ago, they began converting standard F-450 and
F-550 trucks into military-spec machines—complete with forged axles, double beadlock wheels, central tire inflation systems, and even 6×6 conversions.
This particular truck is a Stage 1 Severe Duty conversion, addressing the most critical performance components: gears, axles, wheels, tires, fenders, suspension, brakes, and bumpers. The transformation includes Super Single Wheels, replacing the stock dual rear setup with single heavy-duty wheels front and rear—greatly improving traction and off-road maneuverability.
The result? A
seriously capable 4×4 truck that looks at civilization in the rearview mirror. Outfitted with a Four Wheel Campers Grandby Flatbed
camper, this rig is equally suited for overland exploration or full-scale bug-out scenarios.
