Six Wheeler

The compact expedition vehicle up to 5.9

The Six Wheeler is based on the Ford Ranger, to which we add a third axle. This raises the permissible gross weight to 5.9 tonnes and creates a world-travel vehicle that is in no way inferior to its big brothers in quality and function. At the same time, the Six Wheeler stays compact and agile while still carrying a fully fledged living cabin for up to four people.

Inside, you will find a sense of space you would not expect from the outside. This comes from the roomy U-shaped seating area at the rear, the large alcove and a bathroom in which the shower and toilet can be used separately.

A travel companion for any terrain. For two or for the whole family.

Ford Ranger 6x4

The Six Wheeler is based on the Ford Ranger in its heavy-duty version. For greater load capacity, we extend the frame and add a braked trailing axle. Reinforced suspension components ensure that the Ranger carries the additional load safely. This preserves the familiar technology of a production vehicle sold worldwide: spare parts and service are available almost everywhere.

The Six Wheeler is powered by an EcoBlue diesel with 2.0 or 3.0 litres displacement, with a choice of manual gearbox or 10-speed automatic. With a permissible gross weight of 5.9 tonnes, there is plenty of reserve for the living cabin, water, equipment and passengers. A wading depth of 840 mm and optional raised suspension make it a reliable companion off paved roads too, without losing its agility on the road.

Lightweight build. Fully insulated.

Every kilo counts on the Six Wheeler. That is why the cabin is built with great care: reinforcements sit in the walls only where we screw the furniture in place; everywhere else we save weight. The biggest challenge in design and production is the large alcove. It has additional reinforcement inserts and is securely supported.

Although the Six Wheeler is in the lighter weight class, we make no compromises on insulation: the GRP sandwich walls are 52 mm thick and free of thermal bridges. For doors, flaps, windows and roof hatches, we consistently rely on components from Outbound.
