Good heavens, it's Camper Mog's long-lost little brother! :wavey:
The 225 lb.-ft. of torque specified does seem low, though, unfortunately, not that low. A stock 110 hp OM352 has 363 nm of torque, which works out to a whopping 268 lb.-ft.
Kinda wacky with the colors, and you have to be into the "storage cupboards uber alles" decor, but this looks like a pretty nice rig and, if all is well, the asking price seems very reasonable. It's only 18 feet long, though, just half a foot longer than a Tacoma double cab--shorter than my Sprinter camper, for that matter--so it's going to be a bit tight in the cabin.
But if you don't need a double cab, and really like the person you were traveling with, this truck is worth a look. It doesn't have the cab or cabin space of something as long as Camper Mog, but it's five feet shorter, which could be important if your expedition is going to be in tight spaces. Definitely worth a look, to my mind, if you're thinking about a true expedition vehicle.
While the expedition vehicles on this forum come in all shapes and sizes, if you'd be proud to own something that could really do a multi-month Sahara/Silk Road/Patagonia expedition, older purpose-built expedition trucks like this and Camper Mog deserve your consideration. You get a rig 80 or 90% as capable as a new Unicat for no more money than a new diesel pickup truck. Obviously, they are not for everyone, but they do supply a lot of engineering, capability and adventure at a nice price.
