I have zero clue on the total miles. It's got 85k on an overhaul without paperwork. New front rear end. New air compressor as of 2/23/20.
This truck was featured in the ending scene of the motion picture Bumblebee, so it is the legitimate Optimus Prime.
Ok, now here's what it needs: new driver's side door, some fenders, lower section of the grill.
The statement of the paintjob not being stellar also gave me a good chuckle. It seems truck fans and transformers toys fans have quite a bit in common.
You can find the listing here.

Oh I think can design Optimus Prime just fine (mostly), it is that doesn't much care to do OP justice, in terms of toy concepts/designs AND character consistency especially during the Bayverse-era at least.
And no, I don't mean to bash Bayverse toys/concept designs, I do own most of the main live-action casts and I truly admire the complex engineering of them, but to this day I still don't relate the designs/personalities to the characters I grow up. OP is downright a stone cold hater-murderer. Hasbro/Knight did make things right for me in the Bumblebee movie though.
Then Netflix WFC happened...

Probably more like they'll actually properly buy a truck for it, rather than rent one like they did with this one. I imagine he'll even still probably be a Freightliner, maybe with some changes.

That stuff was probably all just CGI’ed in.

None of it was CGI. The truck had a big ugly visor when it arrived in California. I gave Paramount permission to discard it for the movie. When it returned home to Nebraska, it had no visor. As an actual truck driver, not a fanboy, I needed a visor so I ordered one from RLK Customs. As for the grab handles, the driver's side of a truck is the working side. It has the 3 grab handles. The passenger side still only has the two.
Yes, this is my truck and it is still for sale.

I have watched and felt very good movies with excellent sound configuration
