Meet the Adventure Truck. Made by a company called Global Expedition Vehicles (GEV), it can be based on a RAM 5500 or Ford F-550 pickup in either single or double cab form. So whatever the case, you’re getting an engine boasting over six liters of capacity, with the potential for there being a Hemi V8 petrol underneath if you’ve picked a RAM.
Onto the back of that pickup, GEV has plonked what’s essentially a fiberglass studio flat, with sleeping space for two, a kitchen, and a bathroom. When you’re buying a car where a microwave is on the options list, you know you’re buying into something pretty special.
And you really should spec the microwave, because the places a vehicle this rugged will take you are the kind that aren’t overrun with fine restaurants. Or even shawarma stands.
Helping power your pizza-heating machine is a fleet of solar panels on the roof, capable of storing 20,000 watt hours of energy. We’re not entirely sure how long that’ll last, and it’s not the only number that slightly bewilders us. The Adventure Truck also stores 100 liters of fuel, 90 gallons of fresh water, and 26 gallons of gray water. That’s a very polite term for sewage water, apparently.
We’re so desperate to scale a mountain in one of these. All we need is to save up a little more to achieve the $198,000 (P10.5 million) needed.
