Purpose-built for full-time family travel and proven from Baja to Alaska, this 2024 Ford F-550 “Zombie-Proof Bugout Truck” blends heavy-duty Ford chassis strength with a custom, HDPE-core composite camper and a fully engineered off-grid electrical and water system. Offered at $248,000 with 21,000 miles and located in Joshua Tree, California, it features Buckstop’s industry-leading single-wheel conversion, Radflo reservoir shocks, a 1000W solar array, 800Ah of lithium, Starlink Mini integration, 77 gallons of interior fresh water, Arctic Tern windows, a fold-down rear sun deck, and a family-optimized interior with bunks, a Murphy queen, and a wood stove. This is a turnkey, four-season expedition platform designed for safe, comfortable, long-range travel into any terrain.
- Born for the Badlands: This 2024 Ford F-550 expedition rig was purpose-built for full-time family travel and proven across Baja, Utah, the Rockies, and Alaska. Its HDPE-core composite camper sets it apart from typical aluminum or foam builds, giving it the durability required for real overland punishment.
- Godzilla Power, Zero Compromise: Ford’s 7.3L “Godzilla” V8 delivers reliable, easily serviceable power paired with a heavy-duty automatic transmission and 4x4 with a locking front differential. This drivetrain was selected specifically for dependable remote-area travel where simplicity and power matter most.
- Armor, Stance & Serious Capability: A Buckstop single-wheel conversion with 335 MPT81s, Radflo external-reservoir shocks, extended fenders, and a steel bumper with LED lighting give this truck true off-road authority. The camper adds Arctic Tern windows, a Tern Overland door, rooftop deck, exterior storage boxes, bicycle mounts, and a full rear sun deck with an awning and side-swing spare carrier.
- A Real Home for Real Adventure: The interior was engineered for a family of four with dual cab-over bunks (each with desks, storage, privacy doors, and skylights), a Murphy-style queen bed, and a 4–5 person dinette with panoramic views. A wet bath, Tiny Wood Stove, three-burner stove with oven, Nova Kool 258L fridge/freezer, Baltic birch cabinetry, hardwood floors, and Havelock wool insulation create a warm, capable living space designed for real expedition life.
- Documented, Dialed & Ready for Its Next Family: With 21,000 miles and meticulous 5,000-mile interval maintenance, this rig has been cared for with long-term reliability in mind. It is offered by a private seller in Joshua Tree with a clean title and no known accident history.
This Zombie-Proof Bugout Truck solves every major challenge of extended expedition travel: a reliable and serviceable powertrain, extreme off-road capability, an ultra-durable camper structure, huge water reserves, a massive power system, real sleeping capacity for a family, and true four-season livability. The combination of the Godzilla V8, Buckstop single-wheel conversion, Radflo suspension, HDPE-core camper, Victron-managed power, Starlink integration, and a wood-heated interior makes it a rare blend of strength and comfort. For buyers searching for a proven, fully sorted, long-range expedition truck—one that’s already lived the life it was built for—this rig delivers the readiness and refinement that almost no DIY build or factory camper can match.
