Foundation Vehicles

From Sprinter and Transit to E-Series and heavy-duty truck platforms, we manufacture insulated composite vehicle bodies built around the needs of the vehicle.

More usable interior space, purpose-built construction, and a platform ready for the next stage of the upfit.

Whether you're building an adventure vehicle, a commercial workspace, or something entirely custom, it starts with the right Foundation.

Built in Golden, Colorado.

The Ford Transit 156, one of our most popular platforms. With a 12.5' floor length and 20.5' overall length, it is the Goldilocks of interior space and maneuverability.

A different approach to building on the Transit, with more usable space and a purpose-built structure ready for your upfit, without the constraints of the factory van shell.

Manufactured in Golden, Colorado.

Another Foundation custom military beast out on the road. For this build, we delivered rugged armor on the outside with a skylight and windows for a bright, blank canvas on the inside.
