Description
Step into adventure with this powerhouse 2001 Freightliner FL112 Day Cab Truck, brought to you by Consign It Away—where consignment is easy, fun, and delightfully rewarding! This beast started life as a heroic Los Angeles Fire Department hazmat response vehicle from 2001 to 2021, racking up just 127,000 miles under light-duty emergency use with top-tier, documented maintenance that keeps it purring like new. Regularly serviced by the LAFD's dedicated Training and Support Bureau maintenance team—including repairs, body work, and specialized vehicle care, with fleet operations reviewed daily by command staff to ensure peak availability and readiness—it was babied like the lifesaver it was. The current owner tacked on only 175,000 miles from 2021 to July 29, 2025, for a total of 302,000 miles—exceptionally low for its age, meaning it's "just broken in" and ready for another 500,000+ miles of reliable service!
Powered by the legendary Caterpillar C12 12-liter inline-6 diesel engine (430 HP, built for epic endurance up to 1 million miles or more), paired with a smooth-shifting Allison automatic transmission that's a dream for heavy towing and vocational work. No more wrestling manuals—this auto setup makes every haul effortless and fun! The converted day cab features a heavy-duty flatbed with bold "Oversize Load" signage, a fifth-wheel hitch for semi-trailer versatility, diamond-plate toolboxes and storage compartments for all your gear, reinforced frame from its hazmat days, air ride suspension for buttery-smooth rides, polished aluminum wheels, chrome grille and bumper accents, and that vibrant fire-engine red paint that's still shining bright with no major damage in sight.
Inside the spacious extended cab, enjoy chrome mirrors, a large windshield for killer visibility, and a comfortable setup that's perfect for long days on the job. All lights, signals, and hydraulics are operational— this truck's fire department pedigree, complete with LAFD's strict maintenance protocols, means it was maintained to the highest standards for safety and performance. Ideal for owner-operators, fleets, or businesses needing a reliable oversized load hauler in construction, marine transport, logging, or long-haul towing. Sold as-is, but inspections are welcome by appointment to see the delight in person—photos reflect its clean, functional glory as of July 29, 2025!
