I’m not going to beat around the bush—this is a great deal. This desirable double-cab Toyota Dyna 4WD fire truck has covered just 12,000 miles and is priced at $23,999. If you’re in the market for a base vehicle to build your dream rolling home, then this is a great option. I appreciate that in its current configuration, this truck doesn’t look especially capable or rugged, but with some modifications, it could be transformed. If you’d like a better idea of how this platform can be uprated for backcountry adventures, then check out examples from Pacific Coast Auto, OttoEx, and MotorTrend. The combination of fabled Toyota reliability, 4WD capability, and an impressive payload make this an ideal base for an overland build.

From the Seller:
“This Dyna 200 boasts a 2-ton chassis, dual rear wheels, an engine brake, and a cab that hydraulically raises for easy access to the engine. It’s an ideal candidate for a fire truck collector or someone looking to convert this to a killer expedition RV or overlanding rig. The rear pump and PTO look to be easily removable. At present, it maxes out at 65 mph but can go higher with larger tires.”

The Dyna is fitted with a 4.1-liter, diesel, inline-four engine (producing 115 horsepower and 214 pound-feet of torque) that’s mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. A dependable motor is combined with all-terrain capability thanks to 4WD, high and low range, manual locking hubs, and more. Inside, the interior is decidedly utilitarian but does include the following driver comforts:
- Center console
- Power steering, locks, and windows
- Radio
