They have about 300 of them on line starting in the next few weeks; this one is the only one in AK. Last time I looked they were bringing a couple grand, but that has been a few years ago. Buyer is responsible for getting the thing moved home once they buy it, which would be a bloody fortune if you buy one from the lower 48. The truck may or may not run. They use the same 855 Cummins engine and Allison automatic trans that were common in commercial trucks once upon a time, so parts for those shouldn't be difficult to find. Fuel mileage? I don't know that we ever kept track, but I doubt you'd ever get out of the mid single digits. I could be wrong. They'll haul anything, just about anywhere, with central tire inflation that comes in handy on soft surfaces. Their only real limitation for military use is that they were too heavy to be moved by helicopter, which I doubt would be an issue for most civilian users.
