For Those Who Dare to Dream - And Have Deep Pockets

When budget isn’t a constraint and adventure calls, look no further than a Krug. This beast on wheels, the Krug Expedition Bedrock XT2, is built on a Ford F-550 platform, perfectly tuned for any challenge. Equipped with solar power and a massive 66-gallon diesel tank, it's the ultimate getaway machine.

Unmatched Power and Capability

Originating from Krug Expedition Vehicles in Austria, the Bedrock XT2 is a revelation for serious adventurers ready to spend. This impressive 18,500-pound vehicle is crafted for unrivaled off-road prowess, carrying a price tag of $740,000 for the model tested.

Dominant Road Presence

Imagine arriving at any campground with six Arctic Trucks enhanced wheels that make lesser vehicles quiver. The proprietary 6x4 drivetrain offers colossal off-roading capability, boasting a robust suspension and disc brakes for optimal control.

Off-Road Features:

- Wheelbase: 176 inches featuring a rugged 6x4 drivetrain (6x6 option available)
- Tires: Continental 365/80R20 with adjustable suspension
- Differentials: Front and rear limited-slip for tricky terrains
- Powertrain: Ford's 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel engine with 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft torque

Luxury on Four Wheels

The camper unit, shipped from Austria, doubles as a high-tech living space. With insulated reinforced sandwich panels, a steel exoskeleton, and a modern interior, it pairs style with function. Though not overly spacious, the cabinetry maximizes utility with secure locking systems.

Interior Highlights:

- Sleeping Quarters: King-size bed, convertible dining area bed
- Kitchen: Fully electric with solar panel power
- Climate Control: Truma Combi heater and Nomadic Cooling X3 AC
- Water Supply: 118-gallon fresh tank with filtration system

Driving Impressions

Driving the XT2 might feel unwieldy at first due to its size. However, its capability to navigate tough terrains makes it a worthy investment for the adventurous at heart. Just be prepared to get accustomed to its unique driving dynamics.

Final Thoughts

Starting at $690,000, a year-long waiting period means planning ahead is essential. A traditional camper will cost less, but nothing matches the statement a Krug XT2 makes.

In summary, if you're ready to invest in an incredible expedition experience, the Krug XT2 doesn’t just conquer roads; it conquers status.
