Exterior: *Condition #4.5

The Matte Tan Exterior on this Gurkha looks absolutely striking and is sure to turn heads anywhere it goes. As stated before, this is the highest level of armor you can get on one of these and the body is made of ballistic steel. Overall the exterior on this truck is in excellent shape, all of the glass is in beautiful condition with no cracks and there is no damage at all on the body. The only thing you will notice on the exterior is a couple of very small paint chips around the bolts on the rear doors but that is it. The truck is sure to make a statement anywhere you go and will definitely be the only one you see in any parking lot.

Interior: *Condition #5

The inside cabin on the Gurkha is very similar to a 2012 Ford F550 as it shares the same dash and gray leather seats. The dash has all of the controls for the lights, PA system, sirens, and horns as well as being equipped with a Kenwood Touch Screen audio player with AM/FM HD Radio and Bluetooth. The Speedometer has the main numbers as Kilometers Per Hour on it with Miles Per Hour below as these trucks are made in Canada. The back portion of the cabin has a bench seat with lots of room in front of it so you have room to access to roof hatch and side door hatches.

Mechanically: *Condition #5

Mechanically, with only 17k miles, this Gurka is up to date on service and all of the fluids look good as it was just at Ford. There appears to be no leaks or drips and the vehicle does not make any abnormal noises. The truck drives surprising well due to the size of it and has a great handling radius for its size. You can buy this truck with confidence knowing its easy to maintain as you can take it to any local Ford Service Center.

Under Carriage: *Condition #5

This Under Carriage on this vehicle is in excellent condition with no rust at all. It is practically a tank so nothing can really effect the underside of it.

Fuelly shows real world numbers for an F550 to be between 5 and 9mpg.
I am thinking with all that armor, you would get on the low end of that, if not half...
Many F550's are used to haul stuff. Flatbed tow trucks / bucket trucks / small dump trucks, so depending on the usage it may actually be similar.

That 16.5K Warn winch is simply going to give itself a hernia trying to pull that truck out of a ditch. LOL

It looks like the hood is simply fiberglass as the pictures show it open and held up by just two small gas struts.

Why would anyone want that? There really isn't anything to do with it but get groceries.

If I were rich, and $275,000 was a drop in the bucket, I would buy that and drive it everywhere, just to piss off liberals. I would get a custom paint job that said "Global Warming is a scam," and "F___ the polar bears."
