EarthCruiser EXP Dual Cab.EarthCruiser

EarthCruiser has unveiled the dual-cab versions of its EXP and FX overlander off-grid, off-road vehicles for $405,000.
The 2020 dual-cab homes on wheels are $20,000 more expensive than the single cab versions.
The dual-cabs seat two additional people, but the interiors between the single and dual cab versions are the same.
The difference between the EXP and FX is the EXP's pop-top roof that allows for an additional sky bed.

EarthCruiser has unveiled the 2020 dual cab versions of its EXP and FX overlander home on wheels for $405,000.

The dual cab extension allows the vehicles to seat up to four passengers on upgraded captain chairs optimized for comfort on long drives, according to EarthCruiser.

According to a statement by EarthCruiser's general manager Chad Knit, the company has been looking to release its dual cab iteration since the EXP and FX were first designed. However, EarthCruiser has only offered the $385,000 single cab versions until this latest 2020 release.

The interior amenities in the two overlanding vehicles are essentailly the same between each other and their original single cab versions. The only difference between the EXP and FX builds are the roofs: the EXP is a pop-top that allows for an additional skybed, while the FX's roof is hard-topped and fixed.

Despite this singular difference, the 2020 EXP and FX Dual Cabs both sit on a Fuso FE 160 chassis with a body made of marine-grade materials that reduce noise and interior temperature fluctuations, according to its maker. Although this new iteration is larger than the single cab, the dual cab doesn't affect the functionality of the vehicle as it can still travel through all terrains and weather types.

This new dual cab design allows families and friends to travel together, according to Knight's statement.

I ate at an outdoor restaurant in NYC built on what was once the world's smallest aircraft carrier. The vibe was great but the food was a huge dissapointment.
