ORC staffers had the opportunity to follow along over the past year as Earthroamer Founders, Michele Connolly and Bill Swails, worked feverishly to put the long awaited first EARTHROAMER XV-LT out for public consumption. And after hundreds of hours of tremendous effort, the first XV-LT rolled out of the shop and immediately onto the roads of America. It's been tested in extreme environments and has passed with flying colors. Sleek, comfortable and energy efficient, the XV-LT is the next generation of outdoor recreational vehicles.

The exterior of the expedition vehicle is sleek and easy to maintain. As seen above, the full-size spare Goodyear M/TR tire is mounted inside the rear wall for easy access. The mounting system utilizes the stength in the rear wall, which is backed with Carbon Kevlar, one of the strongest and lightest materials available in the manufacturing market today.
