    Going to be a nightmare in short order, but WHAT A WAY TO GO!! All this shows is the great American axiom, "if this is good, more must surely be better",,it's a nice rig, can't argue that, but about the only thing that could sustain a half million dollar reefer truck, would be hauling seafood to Hollywood stage sets. With over 20 MILLION( there's that word again, million) millionaires in the US alone, most of them on this site,,,( cough) it's no surprise someone would buy this to haul their 3 million( that word again) dollar Dodge Hemi Challenger around, you know, do the " car auction circuit", cripes, can't pull up in a Crackerbox Jimmy,,,

    I don’t know. If that was a double extended 359 you might have something there. At least you’d have a truck. Couldn’t give me that..devise.

    At a glance I came up with too much wrong with that one to list. I wish people would quit tearing up nice trucks doing that ####.

    Problem is there’s too much money out there and not expect inflation. When real starting wages are around 20 an hour. This is what happens.

    Yea.....no. that thing is junk. Pretty junk but still junk especially for that price. First its got that super long frame which is going to make it super impractical in most situations. Next its also got those stupidly tall stacks on a low roof. Totally kills the point of a low roof. Its also really low to the ground which combined with that aformentioned long frame is going to mean it scrapes and gets caught stupidly easily.

    Next its got def so thats going to open up the box for all KINDS of issues down the road especially when it costs that #### much to begin with. Then with it being a low roof that cab is going to get pretty cramped pretty #### fast if it stays out for any length of time unless you stuff either a midgit or an asian in there. Someone over 6 foot like me....that thing is a ####ing shoebox. Lastly it already comes with a reefer which means with the limitations on where it can go and the extra weight is going to have trouble getting a lot of heavy loads yet further limiting how useful the truck is.

    That thing is junk and going for a junk value. Too many limitations for the cost. As an afterthought i bet its going to be a pain to get your weights legal with the frame set up like that. Good luck playing "find the right hole combination" on every bloody load.

    Why do you think it will be a pain to get your weight legal just because of the long wheelbase? I’ve had 2 trucks that were 280” and always had 12,300 on the steer or so when loaded. They’re no different than any other truck.

    My truck looks like a can hauler took his truck to the junkyard and it mated with something sitting in the weeds for 10-15 years. Abortion may have been more appropriate. But here I am HAHAHAHA
