I towed my Meyers Manx a few times from the Eureka area of Northern California to the dunes at Coos Bay, Oregon. Inside the box were 2 Polaris Sportman ATVs (1400 lbs total for 2), plus all of the usual camping stuff. Lots of hills on that route and not a noticeable difference going up them. So...

Not a bad price with pretty low miles. From the switches (and 11'4" warning sticker) it might have been a crane truck in its prior life, so perhaps a lot of engines hours and not as many miles? Still, 4x4 F650s are pretty rare. Someone buy this and build a 'short' Earthroamer HD

That is why I tossed the idea out. I did not know that uber-Austrian billet aluminum liftgates existed unit I saw mine on 'Craigslist' (free internet ads in the USA). According to the brochure, it is just over 300kg for the deck/actuators/mounts etc. Mine came off of an ice cream delivery truck...

Is there a reason that you just don't use a conventional liftgate? Certainly, they are overkill for bikes (great for motorcycles or quads), but your spare tire(s) certainly could justify one. I have one of the AHT L-AL/AL all-aluminum liftgates. One word - Awesome! All aluminum, so about 60%...

Lots of potential there. With a few 'tweaks', (easier done via photochop than real life) Disclaimer - no relation to seller or vehicle.

Not kooky, this Unimog does it.

If you get the Fuso with the insulated box, there is no reason you can not cut it down to a more reasonable height, and perhaps mount lower on the frame with a 'step' in the front. This is a photochop I did of my truck (pre-super singles), back when using the cargo box was my plan.

I can't speak to 'Ford' gearing specify as I have a C4500 on 42s, but with the factory 5.13 gearing around town and 'accelerating/hills I need to run it with the electronic overdrive 'off'. Then at highways speeds flat/semi-flat, I can engage the OD and run about 1700-1900 rpm (8.1L Vortec...

I have to admit, I like the looks of that C4500/Northstar I posted. Those custom aluminum boxes are very cool to tie the truck and camper together. But I'm betting the utility box could be cut to achieve pretty much the same thing? Photochopped- Disclaimer-I am not the OP/seller

It has certainly been done and in my opinion, is a valid idea. That was my plan until I 'obtained' a Total Composite kit. There are build threads here on the portal. Some have started with 'normal' (uninsulated) boxes, and at least one had Marathon (I think) build them a box with the side door...

When you do, make sure to order your club door badges ?

Someone needs to buy this. It is $860,888 LESS than this one on eBay. And it is a crewcab.

The FE frame will NOT work as the FG has a 'hump' in it. pugslyyy here on the Expo Portal replaced the frame on his FG (the ex-Hackney truck). Back then (maybe 8 years ago?) the custom frame he ordered was about $3k (?) uninstalled of course. I could not find his thread, but if you do some more...
