All-
We are selling our GXV Global Traveler to take on new adventures. We have loved the truck, and taken some great trips. Most recently the family (4 of us) traveled through CO-UT-WY-MT-ID-WA-OR-ID-WY-CO over 40 days on as much dirt as possible. Asking price is $165K, which will include new tires (currently ~50%)and AGM house batteries. Serious inquires are welcome.
The truck is currently in South East CO, but may be heading to the Northeast soon. The box is a 2012 GXV built on a very clean low mileage 1988 Mercedes 1017. I will add exact mileage to this post shortly, but its under 30K. I've had "Big Daddy" for a little over two years after purchasing nearly new through Global Expedition Vehicles, who offer great support if needed (thankfully we haven't needed much, other than figuring out how things worked). I've attached some pictures, and have more if anyone has any specific questions. Below is a list of specs. Most recently I added pyro/boost/volt/trans temp/trnsfr case temp/fuel1/fuel2/fuel3 gauges in a custom housing on the dash, upgraded to a high output alternator and installed a 24V-12V converter for in-cab 12V, and LED offroad lights. I also installed 1 and 2 layers of Dynamat behind the cab interior. The cab seats 2, and there are bench seats in the back with seat belts for 2 more. The kitchen table slides down for a second bed, and we have a removable bunk that quickly installs above it for a "cot" type 3rd bed. I typically get between 8-11 mpg, depending on where we are and how we are travelling. Range with full fuel is around 1500-2000 miles. Top speed is 62 mph, and it crawls well in low range. Full time all wheel drive, with locking rear and center diff. It does not have CIS, we use the truck air and a hose to pressure up or down as terrain requires. We have found the truck to be (surprisingly?) very drive-able with nice tight steering/tracking and easy shifting. It has been supremely reliable.
Thanks for looking,
Steve
