Krug Expedition Bedrock XT2: The Ultimate Ford F-550 Camper Experience
Krug Expedition wants you to think big—imagine needing a three-axle, Ford F-550-based truck camper for the kind of adventures you envision. This vehicle embodies a maximalist mindset and confidently stands out as Krug’s first offering for the U.S., emphasizing the company’s ambition in the overland camper market.
Built for Adventure with Arctic Trucks Expertise
If anyone understands how to build a rugged vehicle, it’s Arctic Trucks. This Icelandic company consulted on the custom build of the Ford F-550 foundation. Renowned for constructing vehicles equipped with large low-pressure tires suited for arctic conditions, Arctic Trucks ensured the Bedrock XT2 lives up to expectations with massive 365/80-20 tires—nearly 44 inches in total diameter. Witness the impressive front fenders, a hallmark of Arctic Trucks design, while the rear tires (all four) are neatly tucked beneath the camper’s overhang.
Engineered for Stability
The chassis features a 6×4 configuration, which means the third axle is not driven but significantly enhances stability by reducing ground pressure, thus preventing this enormous rig from getting stuck in softer terrains. Krug claims that the third axle reduces ground pressure by 25 percent, a vital feature for those engaging in serious off-road adventures. Additionally, it includes OE F-550 hydraulic brakes for effective stopping power, along with the Arctic Trucks 8-link rear suspension equipped with air springs for on-the-fly adjustments.
Spacious and Customizable Living Quarters
While specific dimensions of the camper module remain vague, one can expect ample space given the overall vehicle length of 263 inches, allowing for “endless possibilities for customization.” The sleeping area can comfortably accommodate a king-size bed, complemented by a full shower in the bathroom—ideal for extended outdoor excursions.
