Fabulous buy. At 5300' NM guarantees low gearing to support overland travel. I shy away from anything selling in the flat state of Florida but New Mexico, high elevations, mountains close by, means gearing, transmissions, engines built for extreme travel. Plus I love the serviceability of a regular pickup vs an Econoline conversion with an engine buried under the windshield.

A couple months ago I passed up a local one that was only $17,500 because what I read online about the 6.4. It took a couple weeks to sell. No personal experience, but I don’t want what someone calls a throw away engine in an ‘overland vehicle’.

Still for sale, the 6.4 legend shines on.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was Marshfield Massachusetts former ambulance. If i'm correct she's got more than one New England winter on her chassis.

At that price DESTROKE IT with a 5.9 Cummins for $18k. These trucks are a known thing and so is that conversion. I'm seeing some smoking 6.4 deals out there.
