Well, I just emailed the seller I was too curious about how this thing drives. Here's what I sent them (it wouldn't let me type any more...250 characters max).

"I just came across the vehicle while searching autotrader. I'm not even remotely interested in the vehicle (no offense lol), but was wondering how it operates? Does the driveshaft go to the trailer wheels or is it only powered by the front wheels?"

The truck was probably wrecked and never reported thats how it has a clear car fax. What a waste of a truck and a pretty nice trailer.

Well, if you do go, see which tires you can light up on the test drive and report back.

i dont see how it is possible to have a 5.4L mounted sideways to power the front wheels. that is WAY to much fab work.

my guess would be that they just removed the rear drive shaft otherwise it would have been too much work to mess with the engine and not worth doing at all

the power stroke diesel is a V-8, I think you meant gasoline V-8, there are severla trucks like that in europe (volkswagons and mercedes) and they are front wheel drive so yes i am assuming that thing is front wheel drive only
