So...How Many Of You Would Pay Cash?

There is no Way I'd pay 1.5 mil for this. You can get a Certified Pre owned, 3 yr old under 50K miles (still under warranty), 500 point inspection for $400K. Most people that buy these vehicles, just keep them 2-5 yrs. Just lease/rent it, get your rocks off, hand it back in, move on. Smh.

I have not had a car payment in over 30 years and yes there were a couple of new cars in that time frame. I got ZERO down and ZERO percent for 60 months last year (even though I did not need it) on my new car purchase. Who can say no to that.

I can. I retired at 45.

"Poser". Good description of that type of thing. Immensely impractical in the real world but makes people look. Outside of N America where are you going to get service for those trucks?

That Zetros is impressive. 1m EUD would put it at roughly the same cost as the ER but it looks like a much more capable machine.

I wouldnt mind having something like this..:)

I pay cash, or I don't buy. That one, I wouldn't buy anyway.

Not even if I had the $1.5, (or even the down payment). :R

They’re super cool, but agreed, the real expedition ready units are ‘mogs and MANs.
I’d have more fun building up a 5500 chassis into a pseudo ER rig and it would be pimp.....for about $1.2 million less than the ER.

I've seen quite a few Mogs, MAN, and less well known Euro brands of expedition vehicles in Alaska and other remote places. Never seen an ER in the wild.

Since it looks like the gods will let this thread survive...

Has anyone come across honest video of the Earth Roamer actually off-roading, not staged for a commercial off-road... those videos are easy to spot - the truck is creeping along at 1 MPH and there's ten different camera angles of it driving over every little rock along the way. Plenty of Unimog and MAN videos out there.
