    I have seen some documentaries about those kind of vehicles, they said that those are made to drive tourists, researchers etc. to glaciers, I think that even Top Gear had some coverage of those at some point.

    First off, Saloon cars. I'm well aware of the V8 everything else.

    In terms of V8 Saloon cars, I can't think of anything outside the Charger Hellcat or Chevy SS I'd actually buy.

    So no, personality isn't plentiful. Most V8 RWD Saloons now a days are luxury cars that are all exactly the same.

    The Kia Stinger could've been the best thing since sliced bread if it had a V8.

    Still might be an awesome car though, just not V8 awesome :p

    Some other photos of it (It was about half a mile away when I took them, so sorry for the bad aim). I want a D-Series mod like this in Beam though!

    Lot of ice, lot of snow, lot of impassable roads. Some are run as tourist vehicles, some are just farmers who need them to survive.

    tbh that Mercedes Sprinter is a beast.

    Although I'd hate to see them perform a moose test with it ;)

    Well then, there are two Excursions with newer front ends on them, I didn't see that in the earlier post.

    It also has the 6.7 emblems, I'm quite curious what is going on there.




    And what the flying flaming fuck is your avatar? a transgender Gary Busey doll?

    Saw quite a few of them while on the road, including this one;

    Not sure really, I am guessing they put them on when modding it.
    Also, avatar comes from this;

    That's amazing, I'm subscribed to Ashens and I've got another video of his open right now in another tab.

    Found a company, CABT, that does custom stretch trucks, looks like they probably made those newer Excursions. They also make a six door, 10 lug, long box Ford Super Duty that looks like it takes a mile to turn around.

    So I assume they took an F450 cab and chassis with a longer wheelbase, and then stuck a pickup bed and two more doors on it.


    Looking at it, lt might have been a cab chassis for a crewcab rollback.

    Probably something like that. They also make a 4.5 door, basically just an even bigger Ram Mega Cab with suicide doors. It looks like it would make a pretty good RV hauler.

    And they make Raptor SUVs.

    I wish I had more money.

    There is one of those extended crew cabs running around here, its an earlier 4wd F250, (think 99-03) short bed V10.

    The back windows on that Raptor look an awful lot like they fell out of an Excursion.


    I know there was a South American company, possibly Brazilian, that was building them as well, but theirs all had 4BT Cummins power and 5 or 6 speed manuals.

    That dually looks kinda weird, like they started out with a srw truck. And I would imagine that by the time you got that dually six door filled up with construction workers and some tools in the back a 4BT wouldn't be enough to get it anywhere very fast.
