The Uncompromising Behemoth: KRUG Expedition’s Bedrock XT2 6×6 Redefines Overland Luxury

We see an awful lot of impressive overland builds here at The Coolector. Many are capable, some are comfortable, but every so often, a vehicle emerges from the workshops that simply re-calibrates the entire category. KRUG Expedition, a builder already renowned for its elite off-road vehicles, has just unveiled such a machine.

The brand new KRUG Expedition Bedrock XT2 6×6 is an uncompromising, 27-foot-long, all-terrain statement piece. It doesn’t just ask you to explore the world; it demands you conquer it, all while cocooned in a state of absolute, unapologetic luxury. This isn’t merely an upgrade to an existing model; it’s an entirely new class of high-end, independent exploration.

The headline feature is, of course, that imposing 6×6 all-wheel-drive configuration—a first for KRUG. This isn’t just for show; it’s a quantum leap in capability, dramatically enhancing off-road control, stability, and, crucially, payload capacity.

To create this road-going leviathan, KRUG partnered with the legendary specialists at Arctic Trucks, building the XT2 on a custom AT44 XT2 FORD F-550 chassis. Under the hood lies a stout 6.7L V8 diesel engine, good for 330 horsepower, all managed by a 10-speed automatic transmission.

This is the exact kind of robust, reliable powertrain you need when your adventures are taking you thousands of miles from the nearest mechanic. As KRUG’s CEO, Slawa Knorr, aptly states, this vehicle represents “true independence.”

But the muscle is only half the story. The true genius of the Bedrock XT2 is its all-new luxury living module, which is built to withstand the same extreme environments as the chassis. KRUG constructs its habitats from reinforced sandwich panels coated in an absurdly strong GRP laminate.

This proprietary design is completely free of “cold bridges,” a critical engineering feat that prevents the accumulation of condensation and drastically reduces energy consumption in both arctic blizzards and scorching desert heat. It’s a thermal fortress, ensuring the interior remains a calm, comfortable sanctuary regardless of the elemental chaos raging outside.

Step inside, and the “rugged” narrative dissolves into one of pure, refined living. KRUG has completely redesigned the interior to evoke the ambiance of a modern luxury apartment. We’re talking full-height ceilings, panoramic windows, hand-finished cabinetry, rich leather accents, and solid surface countertops.

This isn’t “camping”; it’s a high-end, mobile pied-à-terre. The layout includes a fully functional kitchen with premium appliances, spacious sleeping quarters with a full queen-size bed, and a genuinely luxurious bathroom complete with a functioning shower and composting toilet. It’s a space that feels like a true extension of one’s home.

True freedom, as any seasoned overlander knows, is measured in resources. The Bedrock XT2 6×6 is engineered for genuine, long-range autonomy. The spec sheet is staggering: a massive 118-gallon fresh water tank, a 1,450-watt solar array on the roof, and a formidable 23,000-watt-hour battery bank.

This, combined with smart climate control and satellite connectivity, means you are completely self-sufficient. You can venture into the most remote locations on Earth for weeks, not days, without compromising on comfort or power.

KRUG has also leaned into customization, using lightweight wood panels for the furniture, allowing clients to reconfigure the space to their specific needs.

The Bedrock XT2 6×6 is not just a vehicle; it’s a lifestyle, a rolling declaration that you refuse to choose between extreme capability and uncompromising comfort.
