Forget that AirBnB in the woods or fancy tent, this is how to properly get to and glamp in the wilderness.

Meet EarthRoamer’s new SX 2.0 and the reworked LTx. They’re the latest and most up-to-date versions of the company’s flagship pickup-truck-based overlanding campers.
Like their predecessors, the refreshed SX 2.0 and LTx utilize heavy-duty long-bed pickup trucks as the core structure. But they then take the concept of pickup bed-based campers and take it to the absolute next level.
Having been in business for almost three decades, EarthRoamer’s expertise certainly shines through with its latest offerings.
Similar to its predecessor, the SX 2.0 utilizes a Chevrolet 6500HD heavy-duty truck frame as its starting point. EarthRoamer then fits its opulent bed camper behind the truck’s Crew Cab, which consists of enough room to host several guests.
The LTx follows the same formula, but for those who are more loyal to Dearborn’s F-Series trucks versus Detroit’s. It comes based on the Ford F-Series SuperDuty platform, or more specifically, the F-550. Regardless of which brand suits your preferences, both are large enough that even full-size adults can stand straight up as in a typical RV.
Space isn’t the only thing aplenty. The interior is festooned with a full-size refrigerator, a kitchenette with a standard-sized oven range, a hidden inductive stove top and kitchen sink, overhead dish and cookware storage, a hidden pantry, and more.
For the sleeping quarters, occupants can move to the front of the camper to climb atop the crew cab’s extension, where a king-size bunk mattress lies.
Further use of the space includes more storage for all the outdoor necessities. And it’s all customizable according to the customer’s requests.
Although both the SX and LTx were already quite capable glampers, the firm’s engineers introduced improvements in several key spots.
For instance, both rigs benefit from an upgraded 24-volt electrical system, which is a first for the company. That wiring enables faster charging for the on-board 24-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion auxiliary battery pack.
That battery is what powers all the amenities when the engine isn’t running. The electrical system also gains a new 9000-watt inverter, a unit that’s three times more powerful, which helps facilitate the faster charging.

Additionally, should you already be off the grid and in the wilderness, you can take comfort in knowing that both trucks come with photovoltaic solar panels on the roof.
As you’d expect, one of these bad boys doesn’t come cheap The Ford F550-based LTx starts at a cool $825,000.
With that, you get Dearborn’s legendary PowerStroke 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel V8 and a 10-speed automatic. Those opting for the Detroit-flavored SX 2.0 get the 6500HD with GM’s also legendary 6.6-liter turbocharged Duramax diesel V8, complete with a six-speed Allison automatic.
But you’ll need at least $1.09 million for the SX 2.0 as it’s considerably bigger and more spacious than the LTx.
