407D Crew Twin Cab Diesel Truck 15k Miles

This would make a great SUV. I think it is one cool truck but then I am a little warped.

From ebay:

Not a bad deal if you don't mind shipping from Germany! Pretty cool vehicle though.

Man would I LOVE to get my hands on one of those 309s or 407s...but, you gotta question the wisdom of putting a 67hp engine in a vehicle like that.

It's certainly a good looking vehicle. But, honestly, what could you do with it?

You cannot haul people around with it very comfortably, or easily, with 67 hp.

It weighs about 6,000 lbs. empty!

Just imagine loading it up with 2000 lbs. of cargo and driving it with the four cylinder.

It could be done, just not very fast.

Well, there is one significant benefit:

You cannot even see the Expedition $hitbox that is 9 inches behind your rear bumper with steam pouring out of his ears.

Yea really, I wonder what were the Germans thinking when they stuck that tiny engine into that good looking macho truck. Perhaps it's true as some already suggested in this thread. That this truck is probably heavily geared...much like a farm tractor. Hence we can expect these beasts to be about as slow. I guess they realized this too, given the truck's old age and extremely low mileage. But it would still make a great conversion project for a bigger diesel from a 350SDL. All it takes is money, lots of it

That nice blue paint job reminds me of my 28hp diesel 3 cylinder New Holland Tractor

If I ever add a 307 or a 409 to the fleet (and I will some day), I'm hanging a slow vehicle traingle on the back. If someone doesn't like the speed I'm running, they can KMA and pass.
