A detailed overview of our custom Adrenalin Industries F550 Overland Truck build. We show you all the interior features and comforts of our overland series trucks. www.adrenalini...
Given that it's >$400k,, and 'high-end quality' (he said that so many times), the number of visible screw heads in the interior was disappointing to see. And given the sheer size of the box, there is no headroom in the bedroom, can't even sit up in bed.
Yeah, you might want to check your definition of "off grid." These things require gas, propane, auto parts, tires, etc.etc. Those stores aren't normally located "off grid."
Finally! Earthroamer competitor came along. Bring the price to understandable amount. 100k for truck 100k for build. 100k profit margin. 300k is right price.
It's a very nice rig with a very simple layout , If I recall correctly this unit was sold but you still had a white demo for 410,000 usd and some being built starting at 450,000 usd so half price of a Earth Roamers are , I would consider it but I recently purchased a Bruder EXP - 8 , I was kinda let down with no pass thru , and the box was concerned with the box having 90 degree corners as overtime off roading may cause leaks , and the unit I saw was just automotive paint where most overland unit have a rock guard paint to prevent scratches and rock chips , I know most will just be rv Park unit but for those who really go off road the paint will get wrecked
This is actually a pretty standard sleeping area for an over cab bed. We did this to keep the truck at a reasonable height for those traveling all over the world. You can also choose a thinner mattress that would give you more room. Our newest builds do have 5" more headroom.
It's a nice truck/camper but I would minimize much, like a smaller fridge, kitchen stove and sink, even the bathroom. I would like perhaps more sleeping space, like those on submarines, sleeping quarters for at least four or six. The bedroom would be better placed where the dining table is, that way you can at least get up and not bump your head. But that's just my ideal set up, yours is fine if that works for your family.
Ya maybe look into the DIY market. Those are pretty specific needs and you could customize your own layout just like a lot of people have done when they build themselves.

@fair, 2003, we engineered our ExpeditionVehicle with a rear entry. We have a permanent porch with its permanent roof. We prefer a rear entry because it gives a sense of visual and visceral openness. . A side entry immediately slams you against the opposite wall or cabinets, requiring a sharp turn to access the interior... creating the impression of a smaller space. . A side entry requires steps or stairs, often without a tail or grip, violating the 'Three Points Of Contact' rule for working off the ground on equipment. With our rear entry, we use the existing equipment for access... less gadgets to fail.
I’m very surprised that you didn’t put solar panels along the roof, or if you did, that you didn’t show it off. Built-in solar options make or break a purchase for me.
You are watching the interior overview. Solar is an exterior feature. I'll link the exterior video for you to watch! This rig has 1100w of solar and 720ah of battery. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--jspnYGNnv4.html
i could use one of those in Honduras. I do humanitarian work in the mountains and I need a good 4x4 . if i can have a great 4x4 with living quarters, i could reach out to many more people in more remote areas

My thought exactly! Well designed table, kitchen area and bathroom - but the most important aspect of camping, the bed, is designed like a crawl space.

Nice rig...My only question is why No one has Produced a "Overland" RV with slide outs? I know it would take a little more engineering ,If someone would make a Overland vehicle on a Chevy and Ford platform with the layout of our Lance 1172 just a little longer, I would be sold! We live in our Truck Camper full-time, and after almost 5 years, I can see where improvements are needed. I'm just waiting to see if someone comes along to fill that void. If not , then I guess I'll build it myself😂
@danieljones1334 thanks, I did see the accolade, that's to low to the ground. And it's pretty long. The Nexus Rebel 30 is a good starting platform as well since it's 4x4 . Just haven't seen a earthroamer or a Adrenaline style overland truck that has slide outs.
Very interesting video and a hell of a truck! One thing i do not understand, why do fridge manifactor companys put the freezer above the regular cooling compartment? I would need 50 times a day something out of the regular fridge but just maybe once a day something from the freezer. So i would love this stuff to have it organized the complete opposite way. Any thoughts?
Thank you for your positive response. Looking forward to see a video one day with reversed compartments! Anyway, tremendous work, phantastic truck! All the best from Vienna, Austria.@@adrenalin.industries
Duallys are not great off road. Rocks can get lodged in between the wheels. You can also air down a super single more than the skinny rear tires on a Dually. And when going through mud and sand the rear super singles stay in the same path as the front tires.
Seems like the really high end rigs like this seem to go mostly electric, electric fridges, induction cooking, didn't mention what the heat and hot water are using, even if I could afford one I would need gas options to run almost everything since I like to boondock for extended periods. Even if it had the fuel capacity I can't help but think if this is mostly electric, its long term boondocking abilities would be limited.
Everything on the truck is electric. You never have to worry about filling up propane or gas for components. You fill the gas tank with fuel and fill your water tanks and you’re good to go. We have 1200w of solar on the roof and 720 ah of battery storage. You can be off grid as long as you have sun exposure and never need to plug in.
Not any head room above the bed, and not much room overall for that price. I liked the huge sink, but the expense for the size without much common space, nice bath but not for me.
Earth Roamers are amazing. And anyone that says differently is lying. But ours are very different. We are full aluminum, completely different suspension with our Liquid Springs suspension. We are significantly lighter and a very different floor plan. So they might look a little similar but they are not.

Our vehicles come fully equipped and ready for adventure for $450,000. What are you waiting for? Let's get on the road! Or no road at all, these trucks can do it all.
We offer a passthrough on any of our trucks. Almost all our customers choose to not add one. There are Pro's and Con's to a passthrough. But for any customer that want's one we will add it.

We provide extensive off-road training to all of our customers. Your right, they aren’t always super experienced and that’s what we try to help them with so they can enjoy the outdoors just like you.
@@adrenalin.industries off-grid home at 9,000'. Wood heat, solar... Could buy a rig, but why I see these folks have no sense but money?! Good for you making. The Ford platform or motor diesel sucks, 6.4 is a whore, always pay it to just blow you.
Great job on the build! I love that all of your electronics are clearly laid out and defined. I'm sure that took a ton of thought to get them that way.
Nice build - I would want access to cab for emergency and u shape rear seating and underfloor heat pads heating and roof top tent and deck with 1000watt solar and log burner in the corner and rain capture off roof to fill tanks with filter. Nice start!
500k for a vehicle like this that’s crazy, it’s nice but idk if it’s reasonable. Even here in Cali I’ve seen homes with 4 beds 2 1/2 bathrooms for the same price. Sometimes less but I guess you pay for the mobility? Idk off road rvs cost cheaper too….
Now that I've been cruising in a Sprinter campervan build with my family, I can appreciate what goes into these type of vehicles featuered here. My immediate red flags, though, are the space the induction cook top takes on the counter vs. one that is portable. No real "garage" in the back for bycycles or dirt bikes, lack of head room on the main bed and no pass-through into the front of the truck. So many times I've had to either be stealth with getting out of bed, going to the can, cooking my breakfast and then driving off with people all around me outside. Not only for stealth but also convenience during bad weather, not having to leave the warmth of the back with having to go drive off.
Thanks for watching the video. Hopefully this answers a few of your concerns. 1. The induction top hasn't been an issue for us personally yet because it sits nearly flush with the countertop and we just use it as normal counter space. 2. To make a garage that big would eliminate your rear dinette. We just add bikes on racks off the rear hitch receiver. 3. Headroom has been improved drastically in our newest Overland Series built. The one in the video is an older model. 4. We can add a passthrough to any of our trucks and we have. There are pro's and con's to a passthrough so we wait for the customer to specify they want one before we add it.
Cool, very functional camper, and awesome build. But WHY would you do that to a FORD? My F250 was a maintenance nightmare, every other month it was in the shop for one thing or another. When this thing breaks it’s going to cost you $3,000 or more to tow it to a dealership or have a mobile mechanic come to you. I love ❤ this but shiver 😢 when I think of the traumas of ownership. Thanks for the laugh at the end, “We build these to last for decades.” 👍🏽🤣
@@adrenalin.industries - That might work! I’ve grown to just not trust Ford’s, there’s a reason why they are profitable, they are designed to have a MTBF of 50,000 miles.
@Erin, 2003, we built our ExpeditionVehicle on a 1996 Ford CF8000 commercial chassis. Cummins 8.3 mechanical, Allison 3060. We engineered the mass to be concentrated between the axles, zero overhang. GVWR -- 29,000#. Weight across the scale -- 14,000#. Cargo capacity -- about seven ton. . Does EarthRoamer still offer that weld-on reinforcement for the frame behind the rear-axle area?
@@largemarge1603 - Wowza, the stats alone are impressive. I’ve only owned a F250 and F350, both diesel and used for towing. The maintenance after warranty was about equal to the payments had we financed, which averaged about $1,000-$1500/mo., and it was in the shop several times a year. Assuming that your channel might have videos, I’ll look after I hit send. After the Fords we switched to a GMC and a RAM, the GMC had inadequate electrical and we sold it for another RAM. More reliable but the over $6k expense to replace the turbocharger was a shock. I’m also guessing your budget is bigger, I wince at $100k for a Truck, I don’t even wanna know how much yours to your specs cost. 👍🏽 🤣 Thanks!
Sure but it’s 400k more. They recognized an opportunity and seized on it. I think there will be room for these two companies. Earthroamer actually might feel it a little bit, but they will be fine. I’m impressed. Thought I was going to be underwhelmed.
SAFETY is PARAMOUNT.... Another good measure of safety is to NOT be trapped in the back during a potential situation with bad people attempting to bad things, like breaking in when you're sleeping.... So what would you do if you are TRAPPED in the back during a bad situation with some bad people near your camper, and say some are pounding on the back door, and maybe they could have weapons.... What would you do? Go out to greet them & Risk getting harmed? Go out from the back and try to run to the front door, so you could drive away? You may not make it.... Therefore, QUICK ACCESS to the cab by way of a "PORT DOOR" is crucial, so you can hurry into the driver seat to drive away.
IMO, the blackout shades should come up from the bottom so that we can limit the views into the unit while leaving a few inches of visibility. Also, I don't see any kind of a hand sink in the wet bath. I'd really like to not have to shave and brush my teeth in the kitchen sink. This one is a contender, but right now I'm liking Storyteller a bit more.
Thanks for the feedback on the shades. 👍 The two videos you watched are our older models. I’ll add a link below of our newest truck that I think will answer all the concerns you have. We have a sink in the bathroom and can add it in any truck if the customer wants it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hWb6N32-trE.htmlsi=iOCbw7_QBvS0-Jj4
Overpriced overlander that look off road and rugged but won’t go off road….you will destroy that cabin and be left with the ford chassis, the only piece actually able to withstands the shocks and abuse of real off road trips. My professional advice, go with an off road trailer and an off road rig separate and enjoy those back vistas only rugged trailers and off grid caravans can access. Some off road trailers like the bruder, the Pause, the roamer or the conqueror can go almost anywhere, you just have to find the right tow truck like a 2500 power wagon or gmc duramax 6.6 AT4x AEV. But please, you wanna go off road, don’t buy super cs, you won’t go off road for long and you’ll need someone to yank you out…I’ve seen them stuck with 1.2 million dollar Earth Roamers with broken drive shafts at the entrance of a level 2 off road path!
Maybe this video will change your mind. We put our trucks through serious abuse. They are built for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HgTu7laKBTs.htmlsi=mj90HdUm6Ai2RoqZ
I love your truck. Love your company. Great attention to detail. You guys should be proud of the work you do. But I do have one question. When you sit down to talk with a potential client about buying one of your trucks, do you then about half way through your conversation suddenly get up and crank some music. No ? Oh. So why do it then when you’re trying to showcase your truck? It’s almost borderline rude. Is the description that you’re giving us about your truck so boring that you have to spice it up with loud horrible music. I hope not. It’s quite unprofessional. You’re a way better company than that. Leave that nonsense for the 18-year-old boy that is rolling coal with his 1997 Dodge Cummins 5.9 Thanks for listening. PS. - keep up the good work on your expedition builds.
We agree, music level was way off and way too loud. Check out our newest F550 build overview video. No background music. Thanks for the feedback. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zqpp6ZRBl_g.html
