There is not a toilet, though Im sure a creative portable solution could be managed.

Grizzly Bear still makes campers but the Koda model is no longer available and thus these are fairly rare. These are the ultimate light weight, tough, go anywhere campers for half tons with 6.5 beds. There are a few good articles online if you search Grizzly Bear Koda Camper and they discuss all the specs and such.

Camper: $24,500

I prefer to sell camper as a package with my 2004 F150 4x4 truck pictured. It’s a FX4 with the 5.4 Triton V8 rated at 330 HP, I believe. Clean, accident-free title (Alaska plates—had a place there until recently) in my name ready to sign over. The truck has 199,000 miles - about 30k on a new motor installed by the Ford dealership in 2017–have all records. Runs, shifts, drives, stops, etc exactly as it should. Honestly drives just as nicely as a new truck. Has a Hypertech tuner installed with electronic interface on the A-post. I just run the mild towing tune which gives maybe 20 extra HP. The ability to monitor all temps and such is very nice though. The interior of the truck is basically spotless with front seats reupholstered in 2024. Everything works as it should. 100% reliable. Super clean. Recently installed a new Kenwood stereo with wireless Apple CarPlay and a rear view camera.

The exterior is starting to show its agea fee hail damage dings, a few door dings, a small ding in the tailgate, etc. The paint is getting thin on the hood, but is still presentable and the paint looks poor on the cab top. The truck does have brand new Monroe coil-over shocks on the rear for a little extra boost with the camper. A cool front bumper (Amazon) with lots of LED lighting controlled by a new lighting controller in the cab was recently added. Theres a 4500 lb remote controlled utility winch in the bumper. Its basically made for a heavy side-by-side Kubota-type ATVmaybe a little light if the truck is badly stuck, but ideal for lighter duty tasks of all sorts. Theres also a VHF/UHF 2-way radio installed in the truckworks as a ham radio or on FRS/public safety/other frequencies, too. Tires are about 70% Load Range E Cooper A/Ts. Custom hitch mounted rear steps. Brand new AGM starting battery. Plenty of maintenance records.

Truck: $9,900

Truck with Camper: Ill knock off $1000 for a quick easy all-in-one transaction: $33,400

Honestly, this rig is a perfect match between the truck and camper. Its 100% ready to roll today for all sorts of adventures. If one wishes to fly-in and drive home, Im happy to help with DFW airport transportation. Rig is located in Granbury, TX, just west of Fort Worth. Changes in life and finances force me to sell before I ever got to enjoy it. My loss, your gain.
