If you’re looking to step up your overlanding game, look no further as Krug Expedition has unveiled the Bedrock XT2. It’s an extreme 6×4 RV based on the Ford F-550. However, this isn’t just your typical F-550 as the company tapped Arctic Trucks to build a custom AT44 XT2. Krug didn’t say much about the modifications, but noted the firm re-engineered the “body and frame to minimize suspension lift, which helps to retain near-stock suspension geometry and ultra-low center mass for stability.”
More notably, the truck has been equipped
with a third axle. While it apparently isn’t powered, Krug said the axle
decreases ground pressure by upwards of 25%. The company also noted the axle
has hydraulic disc brakes for improved control and reduced stopping distances. Other
highlights include an eight-link rear air suspension, limited slip
differentials, and 20-inch tires wrapped in massive 43-inch Continental tires.
Speaking of the latter, the truck has a semi-automatic tire inflation system as
well as an optional central tire inflation system.
Perhaps one of the most interesting
features is the ability to “decouple” the truck from the living module. Krug
didn’t go into many specifics, but said this “ensures that the [living] module
is not damaged when off-road driving results in twisting, heavy loads being
placed on the chassis frame.” That’s a good thing as the living module is a
home away from home. It features a “modern, functional aesthetic” as well as a
small kitchen and bath. The latter houses a toilet and shower, which are
supplied by a 447 liter tank.
Buyers will also find a sleeping area with
a king-size bed as well as a dinette that can transform into an additional
sleeping space. Other highlights include a 32-inch Smart TV in the dinette
area, a 24-inch Smart TV in the cabover section, preparation for Starlink
internet, and a Truma Combi diesel-powered heating system. The model also has a
1450W solar panel array and a 23 kWh battery bank for extended stays in the
great outdoors.
While the basic Bedrock XT2 is impressive,
Krug noted there are “endless possibilities for customization.” The company
also mentioned options such as air conditioning and an outdoor kitchen that is
integrated into underfloor storage boxes.Pricing starts at US$ 690,000 and the
model measures 6,680 mm long with a wheelbase that spans 4,470 mm.
