I searched for a long time for this truck looking for a low mileage, long wheel base, crew cab with all factory options and low hours. This turned out to be a very difficult search but this truck ticked all of the boxes.

The suspension upgrades have had quite a shocking impact on the drivability and comfort of this chassis going from a rough work truck to extremely smooth and comfortable.

Duramax engine purrs like a kitten and has tons of power.

Our plan was to build a cabover habitiat with a 17.5' floor with DDG Overland & they have a subframe designed specifically for this truck.

Available with the truck are a pair of Sheel-Mann Vario XL seats (black, heated with armrests)

$75,000CAD ($56,250USD)

Damn that's a nice looking rig! I'd imagine the MPG/KPL on something like that is quite bad?

 

[Blackdogvan]

It gets far better than I was expecting unloaded, from speaking with owners of class C coaches built on the same chassis 12-16 MPG loaded seems to be the range.

 

[Mattersnots]

I can confirm that. 12mpg average over the last 40k miles. I'm 18,000 pounds with 41" tires.

 

[Blackdogvan]

Same as brand new trucks & no DEF

 

[ReluctantTraveler]

Damn, that's shocking good MPG. Thanks @Blackdogvan and @Mattersnots. I was expecting 6-8 mpg, frankly.

This looks like the PERFECT right for what I have planned, and I had the funds I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.
Good luck with the sale, friend. Beautiful setup you've got!

That is what I get with my 8.1-liter gas engine in my C4500. Maybe 10 mpg if I keep my foot out of acceleration. It must ride like a creampuff with both air-ride seats and the Kelderman Air Ride suspension. It maybe should be rebadged with a Caddilac emblem

A pretty rare truck with tons of great options and equipment already installed. This should go quickly.
