Specifications

The Vehicle:

EarthCruiser is built on either a Mitsubishi Fuso or Canter 4x4 cab chassis light truck. This platform is a commercially proven 4x4 truck capable of loads up to 6000Kg GVM, yet transformed into an EarthCruiser, the all up weight is well under 4400kg allowing superb power to weight ratio and economical fuel consumption.

The Fuso cab brings dramatic styling, with plenty of head, leg and elbow room, easy to read instrumentation, tilt/telescopic steering wheel, adjustable seating and dash-mounted shifter and much more. In its standard form it offers two comfortable seats with a third drop-down centre seat.

For touring, the seating position and the large windscreen offer panoramic views of the surrounds, and the forward control cab position provides excellent visibility over rough terrain.

Transmission is via a 5 speed gearbox with a two speed transfer case and a PTO outlet is available. The rear axle has a Thornton Power-Lock Differential for positive rear traction.

Although EarthCruiser is available with the standard Mitsubishi suspension EarthCruiser offers an alternative, specifically-designed to hard road/soft ride configuration.

Similarly the front and the rear dual wheels and their 32inch tyres are replaced by 36inch super singles, offering significant improvement in the off-road ability of the vehicle.

The new Euro Spec Mitsubishi was released on the Australian market in March, powered by a turbocharged intercooled four-cylinder diesel and this vehicle will also provide an excellent basis for transformation into an EarthCruiser, with design work already underway.

Other Vehicle Options include:

• Upgrade of seating to Stratos XT LTSS Suspension Seats in cloth or leather.
• Additional 125Lts fuel storage extending the standard range from 650Kms to 1300Kms or hard cross country driving from 450Kms to 900Kms.
• Bull bar, lights etc.
• Winch - electric, hydraulic or PTO
