E-350 box options

[YinzerMoto]

I found a place in North Carolina that has 100s of E350s with10-12’ boxes on the lot. Many have the higher spec trim package. as of a few days ago, they had some pricing errors, the trucks were priced as bare trucks and did not include the box. So if the price is in the high $30s or low $40s, add about $15 for the box.

Sweet! great info. thanks. Having you done any research on what shipping costs would be? I have heard anywhere from 1-2 dollars a mile.

CB,
I checked it out, and it looks like just a regular Ford dealership. Do they ever have used box trucks for sale?

Looks like they don't right now, but they usually do.

If you want used, my go to's are Signature Truck Center and Comvoy.com

Thanks Bruh! Looks like Signature starts with 12ft. I am still thinking 10ft.

Can anyone recommend a shipper and estimated cost on shipping an E350 10' box truck? I have heard estimates from 1-2 dollars a mile.

I'd buy a ticket and drive it back. This summer I've gone on 3 major trips and over 3000 miles... and all in a 28 year old truck with 250k miles on it.

Once the vehicle has been UJOR'd, I might consider. I have no desire to drive a stock vehicle from the East Coast to the West Coast.

If you are interested in the vans I posted in NC, just have the dealer drop it off at UJ in NC.

Otherwise, $2/mi sounds cheap for someone who is a legit hauler and is insured.

Yep, that could be an option. Thanks again for that great link you sent me. Still looking like mid-October for when I will have all the money. It should be pretty easy to find a new box truck for sale. It really comes down to UJORs schedule.

A member on the SMB forum drove a ‘99 7.3 from FL to CA for me. I paid his airfare out there and expenses on the way back. He’s done it for a few members. Good guy. My van had multiple problems along the way, and he went above and beyond dealing with them.

$2/mile seems high for longer trip. If I wanted a vehicle shipped from back east it would be $7000 for 60 hours on the road. Probably be done in five days making it $1400 a day.

In the past, if you weren’t in a big hurry, transport jobs would posted and different haulers would quote on them and you could choose the best quote you were comfortable with. With a little luck you’d find a hauler that was going in the direction with an empty truck and you would save a bit only paying them for one direction.

If I didn’t have a ton of other commitments I’d drive across the country for $1400 usd a day. One trip would cover the cost of a car I’m considering buying.

Be careful with that dealership, I've heard they're in trouble with Ram & Ford for shady actions. And a ton of false advertising/incorrect pricing. I personally wouldn't buy from them because of the false pricing, spoke with them recently about a rig they had.

Here is another area I have considered for either a box truck or a cab/chassis https://www.copart.com/vehicle-sear...beb-26c1-4386-827d-bc0db44b9d9f-1748626840532

OH MY! I looked at their website, and they had a lot of new box trucks. Unfortunately for me, all of the new box trucks for sale are on the East Coast, and I am in CA. Wabash and Rockport. No idea why you don't see them for sale here. Who would you recommend buying from on East Coast? Do you also have a recommendation for purchasing near Justin's shop? Also, can you recommend a shipper, and have a ballpark estimate on cost per mile for shipping a 10'?

I also spoke with them, I did not get a nefarious vibe from them as much as incompetent people managing the website. Thanks for the heads up though. I think I am going to wander past their dealership, just to see what they have, I also want to stop by your shop to meet in person (We have exchanged a few emails already.)

I had a truck lined up at a dealer up north, I told the salesperson that I wanted it but they wanted to work out some transportation details. Another salesman stepped in and sold the truck.

Now I am back at square one, might have to order a truck. I really wanted to have this mostly wrapped up by spring but it is looking like it is going to be more than a year process.
