Buying old uhaul trucks really isn’t that bad of an idea…
Not even gonna sugar coat it…
They handle all of the maintenance on the trucks in house at company run shops…
I have personally been to them…
I have sold ~100 used truck, towing equipment, trailers…
I have done a lot of work on that shit myself lmfao…
As long as the box doesn't leak, the engine runs without a CEL, the brakes a decent, and the steering tight, I don't care about much else.
I can stuff a LOT of solar on top of a 17", and it's a lot of extra storage.
They stopped making 17" trucks for 20" so go with at 15" a few years ago fyi…
They were starting to remove the boxes from all trucks larger then the 10" so they could reuse em on new trucks or to be used for new storage units…
Most of the trucks go up for sale in pretty good condition…
they gave me the entire work history of the truck, it's beautiful
they took what I offered, and 1 hour later I owned the truck 🤙
when I took it to my mechanic for an inspection, he was impressed with the overall condition
he was like: damn I need to buy one 🤣😂
Yup cuz everything is done in house so they have all the records…
Even the "mechanics special" ones normally aren’t in that bad of shape…
Also fyi if you ever buy another one you should be able to request to take it to your own mechanic before you buy it to have it looked at…
