You Can Buy This Six-Wheeled 2019 Ford EcoSport, No Reserve

  • A six-wheeled Ford EcoSport with a stretched body is up for auction with no reserve.
  • The custom build keeps its stock 2.0-liter engine and all-wheel-drive system.
  • The SUV carries a rebuilt salvage title tied to earlier front-end damage.

A 2019 Ford EcoSport Titanium showed up in Virginia Beach with a third axle bolted on, a stretched rear end, and a roof wing that no compact crossover ever asked for. It is real, and it is headed to a new owner with no reserve.

The seller listed the build on Bring a Trailer this week with six wheels and a rebuilt salvage title. Bidders get the full history along with the hardware, front-end damage included.

Six-Wheeled EcoSport Conversion And Design

Someone took a stock Titanium trim EcoSport and cut it open behind the rear doors. The builder welded in an extended body section and an auxiliary subframe to carry a second rear axle.

The result reads like a Photoshop job until you notice the extra tires actually touch pavement. Outside, the car rides on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in Firestone WeatherGrip tires.

The shop kept the factory Titanium cabin largely intact with black leather upholstery, a six-way power driver seat, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto through a Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Stock Duratec Engine Meets A Heavier, Longer Body

Under the hood sits the EcoSport's optional 2.0-liter Duratec inline-four, rated from the factory at 166 horsepower and 149 pound-feet of torque. Power goes through a six-speed SelectShift automatic and the stock all-wheel-drive transaxle, which drives the front and center pairs of wheels.

Nothing about the drivetrain was upgraded to handle the added length and weight of a third axle. The same engine that used to move a compact crossover now has extra unsprung mass and rolling resistance to deal with.

The odometer reads 47,000 miles, with roughly 500 of those added since the current owner bought the car in 2025. That suggests the current owner has actually driven it instead of parking it as a static oddity.

Carfax records show a front-end accident in November 2019, and the title carries a Rebuilt Salvage brand tied to multiple salvage issuances between 2019 and 2025. Buyers get that paperwork alongside the keys, no reserve, highest bid wins regardless of where it lands.


Motor1's Take: Oddball builds attract enthusiasts and speculators. This EcoSport could be fun to own, but expect extra maintenance and potential insurance or registration headaches.

Get a thorough inspection and budget for drivetrain and alignment work. With no reserve, the final price can swing widely, so set a firm bidding limit.
