Krug Expedition wants you to think big—as in, maybe you need a three-axle, Ford F-550-based truck camper for the kind of adventures you’re envisioning. It’s a maximalist-mindset sort of truck, and it looks the part. This is Krug’s first offering for the U.S., and the Austrian upfitter is going big.



And if anyone knows how to go big, it’s Arctic Trucks, who consulted on the build for the underlying customized Ford F-550. Arctic Trucks, if you might recall, is an Icelandic outfit with several local shops (including an American branch) that specializes in building trucks with massive low-pressure tires for arctic conditions. The Bedrock XT2 lives up to the massive tire hype with 365/80-20 tires—that’s nearly 44 inches in total diameter. You can see the immense front fenders, an Arctic Trucks signature, although the rear tires (all four of them) are simply tucked under the camper’s overhang.

It’s a 6x4, which means the third axle isn’t driven. It’s there mainly to reduce ground pressure, to prevent this massive rig from quicksanding into whatever soft surface it’s rolling over. Krug says the third axle reduces ground pressure by 25 percent. Drivers doing actual off-roady stuff with the XT2 will likely appreciate any help they can get in that respect. It also gets another set of OE F-550 hydraulic brakes, to help slow this beast down, plus the Arctic Trucks 8-link rear suspension with air springs for on-the-fly suspension pressure adjustments.
Details about the dimensions of the camper module, which attaches directly to the frame, are sparse, but it looks sizable (as you’d expect from a total vehicle length of 263 inches) and offers “endless possibilities for customization.” The sleeping area can fit a king-size bed, plus there’s a full shower in the bathroom. Write a big enough check and you can do whatever you want within the floorspace afforded, we’re sure.

In terms of other camping essentials, there’s a robust 118 gallons of fresh water, a Truma Combi diesel heating system, a 1450-watt solar array with a 23-kW lithium ion battery bank, and so on. Several standard and optional off-road features, like limited slip differentials and automatic tire inflation systems, are available.
What cost, capability? Large. The Krug Bedrock XT2 starts at $690,000. Want one? Get ahold of Krug, and make sure you have a big enough vision (and bank account) to support it.
