The electric trucks have a side cargo door, more space and, critically, air-conditioning, promising some long-overdue relief for carriers, who haven’t had an upgrade since the 1980s.
Nope. LLV’s are exclusively scrapped by the USPS at end of life. I tend to think thats mostly to retain their image as a USPS only vehicle and prevent potential impersonation for crime, which is the same reason UPS has a “always scrap” policy as well.
There are a very few select examples that have been sold private party by not-the-usps, and do exist out there but there will be no great flood of EOL mail trucks. Most of them are so incredibly beat at this point that they barely work anyway.

Wow, I never considered how I don’t see mail trucks posing as other things. Thats a fun fact.
It’s like never seeing old Pizza Hut buildings turned into other things.
Those UPS trucks are neat. They would make fun food trucks.
