Available now in Logan, Utah, this 2004 Freightliner FL70 reefer truck for sale is a commercially equipped refrigerated box truck powered by a Caterpillar diesel engine and paired with a manual transmission. The truck has 273,509 miles, 23,500 reported engine hours, new tires, air brakes, a functional lift gate, electric standby refrigeration capability, and a clean title in hand.

Originally priced at $14,999, the asking price has now been aggressively reduced to $9,900 because the seller needs the truck sold. For a buyer searching for an affordable refrigerated delivery truck, mobile cold-storage vehicle, produce truck, catering truck, or medium-duty commercial reefer, this Freightliner presents a practical opportunity at a substantially lower price point.

Commercial Refrigerated Transport Capability

The Freightliner FL70 platform was designed for medium-duty commercial applications where durability, payload capacity, and straightforward operation matter. This truck has a reported 33,000-pound GVWR and is equipped with air brakes, making it suitable for demanding delivery and transport work when properly licensed, inspected, and operated.

The Caterpillar diesel engine provides the torque and operating characteristics commonly desired in commercial route trucks. The exact engine model has not been confirmed, although FL70 trucks of this era were commonly equipped with Caterpillar 3126-series diesel engines. Buyers should verify the engine model, horsepower rating, transmission model, axle ratings, and complete chassis configuration from the VIN plate and engine identification tag.

The seller reports that the truck runs excellent and starts well in cold weather. That can be especially useful for early-morning delivery schedules, northern climates, food distribution routes, farm operations, and businesses that cannot afford difficulty starting equipment during colder months.

Refrigerated Box With Thick Insulation

The refrigerated body is reported to have more than five inches of insulated wall thickness. A heavily insulated box can help reduce temperature loss and support more efficient cooling when the refrigeration system is operating correctly.

This configuration may be useful for transporting or storing:

• Fresh produce
• Frozen or chilled food
• Meat and dairy products
• Seafood
• Restaurant supplies
• Catering inventory
• Grocery products
• Farm-to-market goods
• Flowers and temperature-sensitive products
• Event food and beverage supplies

The interior box dimensions were not provided. Buyers should measure the usable length, width, height, door opening, floor space, and loading clearances before purchasing.

Electric Standby Refrigeration

One of the strongest features of this Freightliner refrigerated box truck is its reported electric standby capability. Electric standby allows a compatible reefer system to operate from an external electrical source while the truck is parked, rather than depending exclusively on the truck or reefer engine.

For the right buyer, this can allow the truck to serve as both a transportation vehicle and a stationary cold-storage unit. Potential users may include caterers, restaurants, food distributors, grocery suppliers, meat processors, farms, event companies, and seasonal businesses that need temporary refrigerated storage.

The seller reports that the truck is equipped with electric standby. Buyers should independently test the refrigeration system under load, verify the required electrical connection, confirm the standby system operates properly, and determine the temperature range the unit can maintain.

Functional Lift Gate

A functional lift gate is included and can simplify loading and unloading when docks or forklifts are unavailable. This is valuable for route deliveries involving carts, containers, boxed products, palletized goods, catering equipment, food-service inventory, and other commercial freight.

The lift gate’s manufacturer, platform dimensions, and rated lifting capacity were not supplied. Buyers should inspect the gate, hydraulic system, controls, wiring, platform, hinges, cylinders, and mounting structure. The rated capacity should be verified before lifting heavy cargo.

New Tires and Clean Title

The seller reports that new tires have been installed. Commercial truck tires represent a significant expense, so this may reduce one of the most immediate ownership costs for the next buyer.

A clean title is reportedly in hand, which can help simplify the ownership-transfer process. Buyers should still verify the VIN, title information, registration requirements, and any applicable commercial-use regulations before completing the purchase.

Known Issues Fully Disclosed

The seller has disclosed two current issues.

The cab air-conditioning system has a small Freon leak and reportedly needs to be recharged approximately twice per summer. The exact source of the leak has not been identified. A buyer should have the AC system inspected to determine whether the issue involves a hose, fitting, seal, compressor component, condenser, evaporator, or another part of the system.

The seller also reports a bad fuse. The circuit affected by the fuse has not been clearly identified. Although the seller believes it may be a minor repair, buyers should determine which system is affected and whether the fuse problem is being caused by a wiring fault, failing component, short circuit, incorrect fuse size, or another electrical issue.

These disclosures have been included so buyers can properly evaluate the truck and complete an informed inspection.

Ideal Buyers and Applications

This used Freightliner FL70 may be a practical fit for:

• Food-service companies
• Produce distributors
• Farmers and growers
• Meat processors
• Restaurant suppliers
• Caterers
• Grocery businesses
• Dairy distributors
• Seafood operations
• Mobile cold-storage users
• Event and festival vendors
• Route-delivery companies
• Businesses needing backup refrigeration
• Startup food-distribution operations

The truck could also appeal to a mechanically capable buyer looking for an affordable commercial reefer that needs some attention but already includes a diesel powertrain, insulated body, lift gate, electric standby capability, new tires, and a clean title.

Aggressively Reduced to $9,900

This truck was originally listed at $14,999 and was later reduced to $13,000. The seller has now made another substantial reduction to $9,900 and needs the unit sold.

That aggressive pricing reflects the seller’s motivation and the disclosed cab AC and fuse issues. It gives buyers an opportunity to purchase a medium-duty refrigerated box truck for considerably less than the price of many newer or dealer-listed reefer trucks.

The seller’s urgency does not replace the need for an inspection. Buyers should test the reefer system, electric standby, lift gate, air brakes, drivetrain, electrical system, cab AC, lights, tires, box structure, doors, seals, and all DOT-related components.
