Some builds are made to stay on pavement, others are born for the wild. The Ranger, one of our signature Exclusive Outfitters Model C builds, is the ultimate adventure van for those who want it all: rugged 4x4 performance, refined craftsmanship, and the freedom to chase horizons from mountain trails to coastal sunsets.

This particular day, The Ranger proved exactly what it was built for. We set out early, winding through the dusty California hills, the 6-cylinder Sprinter engine handling steep switchbacks and off-camber climbs with ease. By late afternoon, the dirt under our tires gave way to sand, and we parked right at the edge of the Pacific… sliding open the door to the sound of crashing waves.

Built on a 144” wheelbase 4x4 Sprinter, The Ranger may be compact, but it’s anything but small in presence. Wrapped in a stealthy matte military green, it strikes the perfect balance of rugged and refined. The full leather custom upholstery and front swivel seats transform the cabin into a comfortable, elevated space for every passenger — five total, with room to sleep four to five thanks to its pop-top roof and aluminum custom panel bed system.

Our signature pop-top Mercedes-Brenz Sprinter van build: Compact, powerful, and adventure-ready: flexible design, off-grid power, and pure freedom.

Every inch of The Ranger’s interior is engineered for versatility. The quick-release 3-seat factory bench allows for flexible cargo or family setups, while the rear teak dinette comfortably seats six. Add in the custom accent card table up front, and you’ve got both a social hub and a mobile workspace.

Above, the upper-level electric slide-up sleeper for two adds the perfect second story — with proper headroom, airflow, and panoramic views.

Compact doesn’t mean confined.  The Ranger’s interior is a masterclass in spatial design. The rear living area transitions effortlessly between configurations: from dining to sleeping to full cargo mode. The aluminum panel bed quickly folds away, the teak table lowers or removes entirely, and the bench seating repositions in seconds.

Whether you’re hauling surfboards, bikes, or a week’s worth of gear, the rear zone adapts to your adventure. With custom lower storage bins, removable totes, soft storage bags, and overhead cabinets, every item has a place and every inch of the van earns its keep.

This modular layout turns The Ranger into whatever the moment calls for: a family camper, a gear hauler, or a cozy off-grid retreat, without sacrificing the open, airy feel that defines our Model C floorplan.

No adventure is complete without self-sufficiency. With a 630Ah secondary lithium battery bank, 2000-watt pure sine inverter, and 400W solar array, The Ranger is fully prepared for life off-grid. Plug in anywhere with 30 AMP shore power or rely on the Go Power solar system and Espar diesel heater for all-season comfort.

Equipped with an Agile suspension package, including custom-tuned Fox shocks and upgraded springs, The Ranger rides smooth whether it’s climbing fire roads or cruising coastal highways.

Its accessories list reads like an adventurer’s dream:

• Custom Aluminess Roof Rack and Backwoods Rear Bumper with utility box and tire carrier
• 1Up Bike Rack, dual side ladders with surf hooks, and remote-controlled Dometic awning
• 50-gallon combined water tanks, on-demand hot water, and exterior shower system
• CAtuned front bumper with Warn winch for when the trail gets tough

Whether you’re taking the family out for a long weekend or disappearing into the wilderness for months, Tonka keeps everyone comfortable, secure, and well-rested.

By sunset, The Ranger had taken us from rugged switchbacks to rolling surf… proving that real adventure doesn’t need a destination, just the right ride.

And if you’re ready to write your own story from trail to tide, we’d love to help you build it.

Financing options are available, and our team is here to walk you through every step.
