Discover the EarthCruiser Terranova by iBestTravel
iBestTravel has introduced the EC Terranova, a remarkable addition to their expedition travel vehicle lineup. This innovative camper model is built on the 2020 Ram 3500, 2020 Ford F-350, or 2020 Chevy Silverado 3500 chassis, all featuring 8-foot beds. This strategic design targets customers who favor consumer-class vehicles and appreciate brand loyalty. In contrast to previous models, which were based on commercial-class, cab-over platforms, the EC Terranova provides a fresh perspective on overland adventure.
Impressive Off-Road Capabilities
The EarthCruiser Terranova has been designed with off-road enthusiasts in mind. Notably, it accommodates 40-inch tires, providing significant ground clearance for tackling rugged terrains. The robust front bumper can support a 16,500-pound winch (with the addition of a bull bar), while the rear design optimizes the departure angle for better recovery options and mounting additional accessories, such as lights.
Spacious and Functional Interior
Moreover, the interior of the EarthCruiser Terranova deserves special attention. With the roof raised, adventurers can enjoy almost 7 feet of headroom, which decreases to 62 inches when lowered. The camper shell is constructed from molded structural foam, allowing for effortless roof adjustment without the need for unfastening locks or latches. Interior features include:
- Dinette with leather cushions
- Fiberglass work surfaces
- Induction cooktop
- Recessed ceiling fan
- Full-height shower
- Cassette toilet
- Stainless-steel sink
- LED lighting
Designed for Extended Adventures
To ensure readiness for extended journeys, the EarthCruiser Terranova is equipped with an onboard fresh water tank featuring a Shurflo pump, as well as two (optional three) 108-watt solar panels paired with a solar controller and monitoring system. It also includes:
- 130L Isotherm refrigerator
- Optional mounting for an additional Engel electric auxiliary fridge
- Toolboxes and locking storage
- Space for mounting external accessories such as recovery boards and spare tires
Pricing and Future Expectations
While further details about the EarthCruiser Terranova, including pricing, have yet to be released, previous models such as the FX model (starting at $285,000), the fully decked-out EXP model (approximately $370,000), and the EXD model (around $265,000) suggest this vehicle will come with a substantial price tag. Consequently, prospective buyers should prepare for a significant investment akin to financing two college educations.
