2006 F350 6.0 L turbo diesel 4×4 with 127,500 miles. Currently registered as a truck in NV and passed smog in Oct ’24. Purchased from the fire dept in The Dalles, Or in Sep ’23 just months after it was removed from service. Initially purchased to tow my small camper and as our epic ski season and whitewater rafting tailgate vehicle, with a plan to eventually build it out to possibly replace the camper. It was our dream as a couple but the relationship has ended and it’s time to pass the dream on to a new owner.
Add a camp stove, a portable heater for cold weather, toss in a water jug and this vehicle is ready to go on adventures if you can roll with a simple build. It was so much fun to take skiing….you could keep your gear in the exterior storage compartments, change inside or out, cook your own meals, and take a nap if you needed a break!
This truck comes with:
- factory 4 wheel drive
- manual locking front hubs
- 30 amp exterior electrical plug for shore power with adapter for 15 amp

Also comes with a variety of storage bins for the cabinets, dishcloths, frying pan, silverware, rugs, extra sets of keys, extra coolant & oil, small parts like belts, and F/E 350 specific tools that we have in the cabinets. We have some additional items we bought for it but never installed that are not included in the purchase but you can negotiate with Nate if you would like them, including: 17,000 lb winch, Move front bumper kit (can purchase kit alone or have Nate weld and install it), used diesel heater that we were going to transfer over from a different vehicle, and a used but good condition maxx air fan.
