Supertramp’s 2026 Paragon: A New Standard in Truck Camper Luxury
Supertramp has unveiled the 2026 Paragon, a chassis-mounted truck camper built on the Ford F-350 platform, aiming to bridge the gap between van life and traditional overland travel. Starting at $189,000, the Paragon offers van-level livability with the rugged capability of a heavy-duty truck, and is available for order now, with a first public showing planned for the Overland Expo in Flagstaff this May.
Integrated Design for Durability and Performance
Unlike slide-in campers, the Paragon features an integrated design where the living module is directly mounted to the F-350 chassis. This construction method, employed by Supertramp across its product line, enhances structural integrity, waterproofing, and long-term durability. The F-350 platform is available in single, extended, and crew cab configurations to suit various needs and preferences [supertrampcampers.com].
Power and Capability
The Paragon is powered by Ford’s 7.3L Godzilla V8 engine, providing robust performance for both on- and off-road adventures. It also features a four-wheel-drive system and a locking rear differential for enhanced traction [gearpatrol.com]. The truck rides on 18-inch wheels with 35-inch Toyo all-terrain tires and includes Ford’s camper package and a tire pressure monitoring system [gearpatrol.com].
Living Space and Features
The Paragon is designed to maximize livability within a truck camper footprint. Key features include a king-size bed, a full wet bath, and an internal bike garage capable of housing two full-size mountain bikes [hiconsumption.com]. It also boasts solid off-grid power capabilities, allowing for extended stays in remote locations.
Suspension and Fluid Capacity
To ensure a comfortable and controlled ride, the Paragon is equipped with a custom-valved shock system and an Alcan leaf pack, developed in partnership with Carli. The camper also includes a 40-gallon fresh water tank and a 10-gallon grey water tank [trendhunter.com].
A Competitive Alternative
Supertramp positions the Paragon as a more accessible option compared to its larger Megatron model, offering a competitive alternative to traditional van builds. The integrated design and robust construction aim to provide a more durable and capable solution for adventure-seekers [gearpatrol.com].
