This 2012 Ford Tansit Connect has been cleaned out and ready for a new roaming barista and ready to fulfill someone"s new business dreams!
(Not able to be sold in Austin, Texas or surrounding towns
We operate 2 other trucks that were built by the same custom builder and the same design and I will tell you that our other trucks that we run have almost never made us miss even a half of a day of sales because of a breakdown. I would dare say that this truck is one of the most agile, fuel efficient, and maintenance conscious food trucks on the road! (also a very quiet generator compared to most) Built so smart that it only takes a single skilled barista to operate it.
Equipment:
-Truck only has 31,000 miles runs perfect-needs nothing.
-5500 Watt Cummins Onan Quiet generator (properly tied into the truck"s tank-kills at 1/4 tank)
-2 Group UNIC twin Rumba 220v espresso machine (can keep up with almost any amount of customers)
-Quamar M80E grind on demand doserless timed espresso grinder
-True Glass door GDM commercial refrigerator
-Ariston 110v Water heater
-Red racing-style aluminum custom cabinets and deep drawers
-Custom welded and polished stainless steel countertops
-20+gallon water tank and approx. 33 gallon grey water tank
-knock box for spent espresso pucks
-Full electrical distribution panel (1x30 amp 220v breaker 1x20 amp, 2x15 amp)
-automatic transfer switch that will change between generator and shore power
-Twist-lock 50 amp Shore Power plug (Includes 25" 50 AMP Marinco cordset-approx $225)
-San Jamar stainless encased 3 cup dispenser
-Steam Pitchers, mini shot pitchers, milk thermometer
We are selling because we already have 2 of these truck currently running successfully and will continue to do so, but we need some funds freed up for another coffee business growth opportunity.
Having a mobile truck is such a great launching pad to grow your brand because you get out and about in your community and make your brand known!
We have had great success with these trucks but just don"t need a 3rd one right now

- -Please also note that we have a clear title to this truck, but are waiting to get it back in the mail as we just transfered the title to where we now live in Texas (expect possible 3 week delay on finalizing transaction because of this)- -
***Some notes about the generator below (as I have had some questions about how the unit operates):
Thia is not your normal run-of-the-mill generator you may see at home depot, it is the type they put in $300,000 motorhomes so that you can run it for days on end while sleeping with your head only feet from it under the floor of your RV.The generator costs over $5,000 +custom installation and airflow configuration.
The generator is designed/integrated into the van. It draws air in through the sliding door on the driver"s side and expels the air out through the bottom of the truck (you may be able to see 2 little black vents on the lower half of the door in the pics).
The generator is permanently mounted, hard wired into an automatic transfer switch and into a GFI breaker panel with outlets run both 120v and 240v. (When you park the truck, there is a 50 amp Twist-lock Marinco plug reciever on the rear right door to power your fridge, espresso machine, etc. when you are at your home-base or at an event that can provide you power)
The gas is fed to the generator through a Cummins onan brand pump drawing off the actual truck"s factory gas tank. It was professionally tapped into so that the generator will run out of gas and shut down when the truck"s gas tank is at 1/4 tank. This way you don"t strand yourself by running the truck"stops tank dry from the generator usage; similar to how they do it in an RV for the same reason.
The generator is quiet enough that it is not a nuisance to your customers or other nearby activities. You can sit in the front seat and talk to your passenger without raising your voice even through the generator compartment is right behind you.We currently run our other 2 trucks from 7AM-4PM while driving all over town and the generator stays on all day and we currently only consume an astoundingly small $15/day in gas TOTAL!!
Maintenance is super easy access with an insulated/sealed compartment door that opens just in front the the open slider door. All we have had to do is simple maintenance on these (nothing major even though the ones we have been using on a daily basis now have thousands of hours run time)
We operate year round and the generator has never shut down due to an overheat even in 105 degree heat! That proves that it was engineered properly.
The whole truck was built with this type of low ongoing cost in mind. We have been able to make good money selling out of this compact vehicle because we are not constantly fixing or throwing money at a high maintenance costs food truck like may other people I know in the industry have to do. Thanks -Dave
