John E Davies Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I ran across this stunning one owner, garage kept F550 with a factory installed 11 foot flatbed. I think it would probably tow three Ollies without sweating, but OTH you could remove your LE1 hull and bolt it down to the truck bed. If you also removed the headache rack, it would stick out the back perhaps 2 feet, but it would be pretty cool IMHO. Put a big horizontal propane bottle underneath the bed, along with a lot of extra water tanks and storage. No more worries about hitching up.... I recall seeing an Elite 1 that was added to a longer commercial Mitsubishi FUSO bed. It looked bizarre, but this truck would definitely work for me. 2017 Ford F-550 Lariat Powerstroke Diesel Flatbed 4WD - $65,000 John Davies Spokane WA Edited February 8, 2021 by John E Davies 2 SOLD 07/23 "Mouse": 2017 Legacy Elite II Two Beds, Hull Number 218, See my HOW TO threads: Tow Vehicle: 2013 Land Cruiser 200, 32” LT tires, airbags, Safari snorkel, Maggiolina Grand Tour 360 Carbon RTT.

BackofBeyond Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Nice catch JD. It is something I have been looking for myself - I can't tell from the pic - is it 4wd? The link shows to b removed. Pretty sure an EII would fit with a little engineering effort. RB OFD - for Mr. Mossey.... Cindy, Russell and "Harley dog" .

John E Davies Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 I guess I should have copied the entire ad. Yes, 4wd, garage kept and pampered. I don’t think an LE2 hull would be practical, it would stick out the back 7 feet. You would have to build a huge bumper extension to be legal. And it would look pretty strange. How about an Escape fifth wheel hull?

BackofBeyond Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Saw one a few years back - Not a bad design. I just didn't like the interior design.
