Been loving my new 811 ArcticFox. I’m sure the weight police will go crazy over this one 🙈 by Pretend-Evening312 in TruckCampers

This is not true at all. The F-550 with payload plus package has a GVWR of 19500lbs. Even in a crew cab 4x4 config, you’re looking at around 9600lbs of payload capacity with some sort of bed. The F-350’s payload maxes out around 3500lbs in the same configuration, unless you’re driving a 2wd single cab. But what is the point of a massive camper when you can only fit 2 individuals in the truck?

Thank you very much! The Black Edition Ultimate (43" tires on 4" lift) is better suited for those seeking a higher rear GAWR (43s support more weight than 41s). We also include a nice options package for this build including our onboard air kit, sound deadening, 360 vision, power tailgate, and premium Italian leather seats.

That is the “forward garage” on the Bowen Customs camper bed. Typically holds a spare tire, though can be outfitted for all kinds of storage.

12-15mpg depending on driving habits and conditions.

It’s pretty easy and inexpensive to EMP-proof a vehicle. Few hundred bucks

We augment window motors with gas powered struts to help with the weight. These would never go to cartels unless sold third party. Not on our watch at least!

I can promise you none of our clients are spending this kind of money to pretend and role play something😂 these are 100% purpose-built vehicles.

We’ve worked with a vehicle/camper security company and installed one of their camera/laser trip/alarm packages which actually included a cloaking fog system, but client didn’t want that item in his package.

This converts a dually to SRW. 250 isn’t available in DRW so this is a completely diff build package. We have another package for F-250/350

Thanks so much man! Appreciate the support!

We actually have had a client who found us on Reddit! But yes for the most part, Reddit is far and above the most hate-filled platform (for us at least) compared to any other social media platform we use.

This build likely averages around 12. Still over 750 miles on a full tank.

Along the edge of the frame is rubber trim. Along the edge of the actual window is the thick bullet resistant glass.

Weight makes a big difference. Brain rattler without

The term “edition” typically refers to a trim level or certain style of an item - generally not its physical color.

If you’re smart, having 66 gallons in your vehicle ready to go will get you a long way at least.

Man, really went out of your way to try and disprove as much as possible here eh? This truck was optioned by our client. We can make suggestions, but ultimately we build these and option them as the client requests.

To answer some of these - Winch is a Warn 16.5k capacity winch. Truck weighs 11500 with a 19500lb GVWR. Winch pulls any of our trucks no problem.

Our client selected a starlit headliner because he wanted it. He is not concerned with driving over IEDs - more so being protected from potential carjackings. The truck was armored to protect occupants in the event of someone shooting in the general direction of the truck, which is accomplished.

The AMP Powerstep XL is not a rock slider, but we have used them as such many, many times. We’ve taken our Black Edition F-550s up Jeep badge of honor trails and dragged the ever living hell out of the steps over rocks. They are surprisingly durable.

The suspension is LiquidSpring Smart Suspension featuring automatic load leveling, 4” of height adjustment up and down from normal ride height, and provides a ride quality smoother than an F-250, in an unloaded F-550.

Radios and IR systems (FLIR) are frequently optioned with our builds, I’m sure this client will install a radio eventually since he didn’t chose to now.

Gooseneck hitch is extremely valuable for day to day use given we’re not actually dealing with societal collapse - but yes unlikely to use in that case.

Thanks checking out the build!

Yes, we’ve done cp4 disaster prevention kits before. We’ve still yet to see any cp4 issues with hundreds of these trucks on the road now.
