2003 Freightliner MT45 Grumman Olson Step Van Box Truck Walk-in Van. Dependable 4.3L Mercedes Benz Turbo Diesel with the durable pre-egr setup. Industry leading Allison 1000 Transmission. Class 4 (non CDL) 14,000-16,000 with 10,000lbs payload. Single rear wheel. Runs and drives great. This is the shortest size step-van available anywhere. Great for route deliveries in an urban environment. Very desirable length handles like a standard van, yet has great payload capacity and ample space for a small food truck or concession with full standing head height. 12' step van with 11'x7' cargo area and 4'-8" of clear space between interior wheel-wells.
This vehicle was used by the USPS as a demonstration vehicle for the state of Texas. It was trailered from facility to facility around the state and presented to drivers as an introduction when these walk-ins were added to the Texas fleet. The low miles are actual and this vehicle did not see the wear and tear associated with route deliveries. Purchased in 2019 by me from the USPS who kept it fleet maintained. Fully maintained in the past two years. Licensed, insured, and driven regularly. Clean Arkansas title.
Mechanically this vehicle is a 10/10 for its age. With less than 15,000 miles you can expect very minimal wear on all of the drivetrain components from the engine to the rear differential with many years of service to go. Ready to drive cross-country. Good tires and brakes all around with all 4 tires of the same size and brand with 85% of tread life.
This is a Texas truck with zero structural rust underneath. Minor cosmetic surface rust only- see photos for the super clean condition of the undercarriage. All aluminum body.
The interior is also in good shape for the age of the vehicle. Again, not used as a route vehicle so there is very minor wear in the cargo area and only age related wear in the cab. Full fold-down metal shelving throughout and D-ring tracks for cargo control. Bulkhead wall separates cargo area with sliding lockable pocket door. Some age to fabrics and paint - as can be expected with a vehicle of this age. Driver side door electric lock not working (operates manually). Buyer assumes minor repairs consistent with a vehicle of this age. See photos for condition.
Exterior is in overall good condition with a few exceptions. No accidents or repair work. shows signs of USPS logos being scraped off in places. Also has a dent on either side of the rear roll-up door from riding against the bulkhead of the vehicle trailer the USPS used as transport. Minor damage behind driver side rear fender-well (second to last photo). See photos for condition.
Overall, this is a rare opportunity to own an extremely low miles step van that can be confidently added to your fleet or set up as the mobile business venture of your dreams. The low starting price reflects the need for paint and minor repairs and assures that this will be a cost-effective purchase. Viewing by appointment only. Vehicle is stored securely in a gated storage facility in Fayetteville, Northwest Arkansas.
