This 2023 Ford Transit 350 Cutaway (VIN: 1FDDF8PGXPKA26651) with 42,231 miles on the odometer features an all-wheel-drive powertrain outfitted with a 14-foot Utilimaster Velocity walk-in delivery body—a specialized commercial cargo package built on a 156-inch wheelbase for parcel services like FedEx, featuring a 42-inch wide curbside sliding pocket door, a flat cab-to-cargo pass-through floor, a sliding bulkhead door, and a rear roll-up door with a diamond-plate step bumper. Configured as a Velocity F2 model under 10,000 lbs GVWR (specifically rated at 9,950 lbs on dual rear wheels), the truck offers a payload capacity of approximately 2,900 to 3,300 lbs, an overall exterior length of roughly 23.5 feet, an 83-inch interior ceiling height, and a standard 25.0-gallon gas fuel tank delivering around 16 MPG for an estimated driving range of 350 to 400 miles. Visually, exterior photos depict a clean white aluminum body with intact FedEx graphics, dual rear wheels, and minimal panel damage, while interior images show a heavily soiled front cabin with plastic-wrapped visors, missing shifter bezel trim, an exposed dash opening, and general wear requiring deep detailing. Mechanically, however, the vehicle has suffered severe powertrain failure due to a lack of maintenance, rendering the 3.5L engine non-running with severe timing chain noise upon starting, which necessitates a full service engine assembly replacement, twin turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, a new water pump, a fresh 12V battery, a replacement shift lever assembly, and a new left-rear outer (LRO) tire.
