I guess for that sorta coin you probably have the money to run the upkeep on those for super duties. the 6.7 is a damn impressive and powerful motor but far from turn key and relibial. Our fleet rigs take a beating, to be fair. However the 14 has been in the shop at least five times before it hit a hundred k for lots of slilly cant fix it at the KOA type of stuff. the 19 is only at 20 k so far. other then not being able to keep tires for more then 20 k and both of them seeming to throw off balances easily they have been excelent work trucks. would I want one for a live in platform ? perhaps but I would be worried about the break downs. either way, cool looking rig, but year... that over hand is RedonKulesss hence the KOA comment since taking that thing off road is beggind for massive damage or getting stuck on a mild incline or rut in the road.

Only in America. I understand the interest in starting with a good rugged domestic pickup (cab) but these things are just silly. Unbelievable rear overhang and so much wasted space over the cab and with the length of the hood, etc. I'd go for a Iveco type overland rig so quick over one of these, and you can easily walk to the back. Here you get a camper that's literally half the length of the rig and you can't park that thing or get that thing much further than a gravel road.

Howdy sir,
Got any links to Iveco Daily 4x4's in the USA? We're all waiting... ;)

I do not, but that’s what I think would justify the price. We’ll have to stick to modifying van chassis cabs here for awhile longer, which we can DIY cheaper anyway but I don’t think they’ll be as capable.

Yeah, Iveco fanboy here I guess. The grass is always greener.

He has had this on CL for over a month with no photos. Nice that he gave us TWO photos for a condo priced rig. But depending on build quality a rig like this could easily be great fun for plinking around the west. Plenty of class C out there with overhangs like this. Not sure what he mean by High Low. And he sure doesn't know how to put up an advertisement.

He's still finishing up from what he said. I usually tell sellers I'm going to ask for advice, get thougts, on their rigs. Feel bad, I forgot this time. He said he's going to post here when he's got more pics. Couple weeks I think....

Here’s an image for you...

Severe and irritating rear end hopping, thrashing your gear about, when you’re driving on any rutted, or rocky, or heavily pot holed, or washboarded road, or on those bumpy SoCal cement, jointed freeways.

My old 22’ class B+ I had for a few brief years was absolutely MISERABLE to drive for that reason on any of those roads due to how much its big, heavy bouncing azz hung out past the rear axles. No fun, nope, no fun at all ???
