The [EarthRoamer](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/5933/earthroamers-are-what-you-want-when-you-grow-up>) was already the most capable, extraordinary adventure-mobile on the planet. Not that it was necessary, but the company recently debuted the latest version of their terrain-traversing ride and it certainly didn't disappoint.

*That 2017, *EarthRoamer**

The new 2017 XV-LT and LTS are based on the 2017 Ford F-550 Super Duty platform that features aluminum construction which provides a stronger, lighter platform.

**EarthRoamer**

These energy-efficient, solar-powered luxury homes boast an extensive list of standard features on top of what the F-550 affords you. In addition to one of the nicest mobile living spaces in the world, the EarthRoamer comes equipped with 41-inch Continental tires, 16,500-lb winch and 50-gallon fuel tank, among many other additions. It also has quite the electrical system featuring five 240-watt solar panels with solar charge controller and solar amperage monitor and even a 12 Kw/hour AGM battery bank. Basically, you can go out to the woods and not come back for weeks.
