The current semiconductor shortage combined with shipping delays has made purchasing new vehicles challenging. So instead of placing orders with dealerships, many buyers are looking to the used vehicle market instead. Even though prices are up, there are still deals to be had on lightly-used vehicles, both stock and fully-kitted.
The Expedition Portal forum classified section is one of our favorite places to keep an eye on the used overland vehicle market, and today, we’re sharing this pristine Ford F350 Platinum with a 6.7-liter Powerstroke diesel engine. This vehicle is one of those fully-kitted trucks that you could purchase and take on the trail the same day. It has had a slew of high-end components added as well as a custom bed canopy, and much, much more. It needs no mechanical upgrades or services. Just load up your camping gear, pick a destination, and go.
From Travis
“No expense was spared with this build; the best professionals and the best products were used. I would like to mention that nothing has been touched on the drive train, engine, transmission, or the EPA diesel exhaust system. All factory warranties are intact. Although we use this truck as intended, I treat it like a baby. I have had a full service completed every 5,000 miles, and change both fuel filters, and air filters every 10,000 miles. Currently, there are 26,060 miles [on the odometer]; I just completed the 25,000-mile service. Mechanically, the truck is in perfect condition. All maintenance and services have been completed at Theodore Robbins Ford in Costa Mesa, and all records and receipts are available. I wash the inside and outside thoroughly a couple of times a month, the interior is spotless.”

This particular vehicle was optioned with a 3-year 36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year 60,000-mile roadside assistance program, and a 5-year 100,000-mile diesel engine warranty, all of which will carry over to the new owner.
