Did I find my perfect Off Road Recovery truck?? The EarthCruiser Core chassis!

‪@EarthCruiserOverlandVehicles‬ invited me out to test run their Core series of truck and see if it would be a good fit for the type of work I do. At first I turned them down because I didn't think such a big, heavy, and cumbersome truck would be good as an off road recovery rig. But they finally convinced me to try it out and I was VERY wrong! This thing has a 6.6 Chevy V8, automatic transmission, Atlas transfer case, Dana 80 axles with E- lockers, and 37" tires on a vehicle that only weighs 7,200 pounds and has a 130" wheelbase. To put it simply, it's a beast off road and incredibly capable! I have very much changed my mind on these trucks and in addition to their very well proven overland vehicles, this chassis is perfect for fire, search and rescue, utility company, construction, and many other types of rough terrain commercial use. This definitely won't be the last time you see me in an EarthCruiser!

@richardthomas1743 2 года назад

Good morning Casey , heck yes on the factory tour. That is a pretty cool looking truck and I am sure that it would do great in open spaces. But I am thinking that its size would not be very welcome on wooded trails because of how tall it is. I am also not too sure about those odd drive line angles and low mounted transfer case.. But still a cool truck.

@woodennecktie 2 года назад

this is what we call a snow 4x4 , it does perform good , but you do not want to end up bending that transaxle , or staying hooked on that transfercase

To see more of the EarthCruiser Core Chassis and all the different applications it can work for, check out their video on the truck here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MWgsneka3Ik.html !! And while you're at it, take a look at the absolutely amazing overland vehicles they build! Their overland rigs have been around for a long time and these EarthCruiser trucks are very well proven in extreme terrain, it only makes sense to adapt them to the commercial and public service industries as well. This truck is far more capable than any of the F-550/5500 chassis that utility companies and emergency services are currently using. If you want to see a full tour of the factory that builds them, as well as a peak at their overland rigs, let me know and we'll make it happen!

Casey unless there going to give you Core unit for free I'd look into the surplus Military LMTV/FMTV, MTVRs. If you go the surplus route your not going to have a limited parts issue, as a lot of the Mil Surp vic's are being turned into overlanding rigs. Parts are everywhere from MilSpec to Aftermarket.

@brettmorton7365 2 года назад

@forreststrong797 2 года назад

That's a cool truck. The drive shaft and transfer case hanging down kinda worries me but it seems like a pretty solid mount on the transfer case and it's not meant for rock crawling. That would make a cool recovery rig. I'm thinking it would be really cool in RV form. I've driven some cab over rigs, I can imagine it's probably a weird experience to get used to offroad on steep angles. It looks fun.

@Nic26482648 Год назад

If you are going to look at doing an RV build, you may need to carefully consider the chassis flex at 8.30 onwards? You probably need to carefully consider how you are going to attach the body, and allow for the flex?

@robertanderson8564 2 года назад

@omribornstein8329 2 года назад

Just an observation, If they are aiming to the fire truck, bush truck rescue scene, they should better go with 16 inch wheels, or if brake envelope is too large than go with 18 inch wheels. 17 inch tires are mostly the lowest weight rated between these options. I am not sure why is that, but sure enough you will find more off-road worthy higher weight rated tires for 16 and 18 inch wheels than for 17's. Don't know about 37's but 34.5 and 35's are available up to 129 load index for 18 inch wheels. Which should get you around 8000 Lbs optinsl rating for the rear axle (if the axle complies). Always loved forward controls, this one looks very nice. Thank you for the interesting content

@ronwilken5219 Год назад

Hi Casey, looks to be a capable ORRV candidate. Have you ever considered the Mercedes Unimog 2.5. I drove them in the Rhodesian terrorist war and I was never once stumped for being able to cross almost any terrain. During our driving tests they made us stop, in gear and no parking brake on and shut off the engine. You then started it without touching the clutch, on the starter which if memory serves, was a 7.5 HP on it's own. Through the four speed manual transmission, transfer case, low range, 4wd, and locked differentials, the diesel would fire right up, and it would climb right out of that hole like a jackrabbit. It not only had, with high and low ranges, eight forward speeds but those same 8 ratios were also available in reverse so getting out of a situation backwards wasn't a problem either. The only problem that might scare you might be the price. Happy new year and regards from Canada's banana belt. 👍❄️🇨🇦🍌🥋🇺🇲🕊️🇺🇦🤞 And oh yes to a factory tour.

The driveline looks vulnerable for wheeling but in most other situations would probably work just fine. The round casing behind the right rear wheel could be vulnerable in some situations but if you're careful, probably just fine. It reminds me of a bigified (thanks, Homer) Mog.
