    • well it's clearly a scam, i had found one for sale for 625k and i already thought it was way overpriced, but 1.2 million? it didn't cost them over 250k to build, so that price is insane for what it is. i'm pretty sure i could get an unimog with a luxury cabin at the rear for less money than that thing.

    • For 1.2 Mill I would have expected something on say an OshKosh or MAN truck chassis. Not an F550 with (presumably) stock drivetrain components and this HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEE shell stuck on. I would love to see the Donut dudes go out there with a Atacama 6300 and put that bad boy to the test.

    • Bro, if someone tried to sell me that piece of shit for 1.2 mil I would absolutely laugh at them. It's a sucker truck for sure, purchased by people with too much money and not enough sense or experience to know that the intentions are good but the execution is at best, mid. I'd also like to point out that for 1.2 mil you can also buy a palatial estate in any state in the country. You could also buy a top of the line diesel pusher RV or a HUGE off road vehicle and an off-road trailer for easily less than 25% of the purchase price of 1.2 mil. Alternatively, you too could buy a 550 and the baddest ass camper bed you've ever seen for around 80k total.

  • The funniest part of this to me was the guy from the company sitting in the back as they're offroading, just staring into the back of the camper as if he's watching for what's going to break. 😅 This thing is the biggest waste of 1.2 million dollars I have ever seen, it legitimately failed at everything. Driving down the road even you can see the entire truck flexing in a very unhealthy way, it's no wonder that driveshaft imploded.

Imagine ford f150 cost 2 million to design, another 2 million for assembly line, the more they sell, the more ppl share that cost. If they can only sell one, that’s going to be a 4 million dollar f150. So for companies like this to survive, they have to come up with something super cool, patented designs etc. and people willing to pay. This company… my god😂

    • 27North Inc., a leading innovator in expedition vehicles, is thrilled to announce the triumphant journey of our 27North prototype truck, which became the first official Class C expedition truck to conquer the formidable 30-degree slopes of California. We take immense pride in this accomplishment as it signifies a significant milestone in our mission to engineer robust and versatile vehicles for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. During this groundbreaking expedition, our team gained invaluable insights that will shape the future development of the 27North model. As a result, we have committed to enhancing the vehicle's performance and efficiency. This includes reducing the weight from the current 18,000lbs loaded to 15,000lbs, ensuring improved agility and maneuverability on rugged terrains. Additionally, we will be upgrading the driveshaft to expedition version and partnering with a leading industry suspension company to double the rear axle's capabilities. Furthermore, we are excited to announce our collaboration with Liquid Spring, as we transition from an air suspension to a liquid spring suspension system, providing unparalleled stability and ride comfort. In our relentless pursuit of excellence, we are already gearing up for the next round of testing. The upgraded prototype will undergo rigorous evaluation in the fall of 2023, where we expect it to surpass expectations and further cement its status as the epitome of class-leading expedition vehicles. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in the world of outdoor exploration.

If the camper was attached the same way as the normal bed then it will flex just the same way. And with the added height of the camper it will be a lot easier to see as the movement is exaggerated at the top of the cab compared to down low where the bed usually ends. Is it too much flex? Will it break the camper or the frame? I don't know, but it sure doesn't look safe.

  • Whats ironic is that if they had gone with an f-600 chassis it would have been quite a bit stiffer. So my gut tells me since you can't order an f-600 cab and chassis in a lariat package, only an XLT unlike the f-550. This company went with the less capable chassis for more amenities. Also if that thing is actually 20k that puts it overweight for an f-550 chassis. My service truck is an f-600 that clocks in at 21.6k my GVRW is 23k . I'm forced to take my truck in some very sketchy places, not to far dissimilar from where they took this truck, to work on customer machines that break down (logging trails made by skidders are not very traversable). I get through without much issue as long as its dry out. Heck my service truck is on the factory suspension and generic all terrain tires. I've never once thought my truck was going to put me in a situation like this. In my previous position I've worked on actual million dollar RVs, and this truck is not that. Its a cheap gimmick meant to cash in on the overlanding craze that's filled with over priced, poorly executed amenities that will not hold up to the abuse that this truck is intended to go through. That truck will be a maintenance nightmare after a few real trips off road. not to mention the actual chassis being poorly configured. Also, have fun waking up one morning and finding all that audio gear stripped out of the side of the truck.

    • 27North Inc., a leading innovator in expedition vehicles, is thrilled to announce the triumphant journey of our 27North prototype truck, which became the first official Class C expedition truck to conquer the formidable 30-degree slopes of California. We take immense pride in this accomplishment as it signifies a significant milestone in our mission to engineer robust and versatile vehicles for outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. During this groundbreaking expedition, our team gained invaluable insights that will shape the future development of the 27North model. As a result, we have committed to enhancing the vehicle's performance and efficiency. This includes reducing the weight from the current 18,000lbs loaded to 15,000lbs, ensuring improved agility and maneuverability on rugged terrains. Additionally, we will be upgrading the driveshaft to expedition version and partnering with a leading industry suspension company to double the rear axle's capabilities. Furthermore, we are excited to announce our collaboration with Liquid Spring, as we transition from an air suspension to a liquid spring suspension system, providing unparalleled stability and ride comfort. In our relentless pursuit of excellence, we are already gearing up for the next round of testing. The upgraded prototype will undergo rigorous evaluation in the fall of 2023, where we expect it to surpass expectations and further cement its status as the epitome of class-leading expedition vehicles. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation in the world of outdoor exploration.
