Aloha! I've been an avid 4x4 driver and camper for most of my life. I've spent years researching and driving different off road vehicles that are the best for camping. After tons of research and experience, I finally came across the 7.3 diesel Ford Excursion. It's been so much fun testing it out and building it to be the ultimate adventuremobile. I'm super easy going and I love to explore and share what I find.

Burt is old……. and AWESOME - runs like a champ. If you’re ok driving a very large SUV and want a top notch adventure then I’d highly recommend renting this dinosaur. Mitchell was very attentive and helpful and genuinely wants you to enjoy your trip. The Excursion also has been very well maintained.
I’d also recommend camping at Ho’okena Beach Park as part of your trip as camping on the Big Island can be challenging. As a bonus Burt gets impressive mileage considering its size and weight- over 15 MPG!
MAHALO MITCH!!!

Awesome experiencing renting from Mitchell! Burt was a beast. Mitchell briefed us well before going on our road / camping trip, so we felt prepared and safe to drive the 1500 lb truck. The truck is in great shape given how old it is. We felt we could take on most roads, but we didnt push it (although we felt Burt could handle it all). We definitely got a few envious looks from fellow campers. 10/10 would rent again.

Mitch and Burt (the truck) were great, we couldn't have had the same experience without them. Mitch was flexible, supportive, and communicative. The truck was perfect and gave us access to places few other vehicles could. The truck is also a great conversation starter and gives the impression the person driving it is local, which was a great unexpected benefit. We're already planning our next trip back and I'll be booking with Mitch again.

It was a fantastic experience going around the big island with this truck. We booked camp sites with HipCamp, and a few place had short but relatively rough path to the location. The truck has high clearance and had no issues at all. The inside was spacious for two to comfortably sleep with most luggage inside. The gear was well-thought out and clean. The host was super friendly, welcoming and easy communicate with. Highly recommend overall.

Q.What flexibility is available for picking up and dropping off the RV?
A.
I live close to the airport so I'm pretty flexible. Just let me know and we can work it out!

Q.Does it have a bed?
A.
It can come with a very comfortable foldable foam bed that fits perfectly in the back. With the seats folded down there's plenty of room for the bed and gear.
