Vehicle Description
This 1998 Ford F-150 is almost ready for vintage plates in some
states, which seems fitting for a truck like this. It's part of the
early years that ushered in a new era of pickup design, so it
deserves to be celebrated like a proper vintage machine. Plus, with
fuel-injected V8 power, a luxury-style A/C interior, and plenty of
useful details, this value-priced Ford makes for a solid all-around
buy.
The background info shows this as a two-owner truck. And the way
the body panels look clean and straight reaffirms the feeling of
fewer owners and greater respect. But good care does not mean
missing out on usefulness. You have a full bed liner and a trailer
hitch with a proper wiring harness. So this classic F-150 can also
earn its keep. The value price leaves some room in your budget if
you're looking to update the white paint or the wheels/tires, but
overall, we're quite impressed. It has a premium look that earns
the distinct Lariat stripes, including the chrome bumpers and
golden rocker paint. So the result is a handy truck with some
premium vintage appeal.
The interior is what makes this truck particularly nice and unique.
We rarely see a single cab with the captain's chairs style bucket
seats and a proper center console. It gives this a premium cruiser
kind of appeal. That's also because you have plenty of nice
features like cold-blowing air conditioning, power windows, power
locks, cup holders, cruise control, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD/XM
stereo with aux input. The driver's seat is a nice command position
thanks to an airbag steering wheel on a tilt column and a full
gauge package with large speed and tach.
Another reason this generation of F-150 makes for a good classic is
because of what's in the engine bay. Ford's 4.6-liter fuel-injected
Modular/Triton V8 has gained a reputation for being versatile and
hardy. The way this one runs reaffirms the feeling of low ownership
and good care. So it makes for an ideal all-around driver for both
in-town and highway use. The same goes for the four-speed automatic
transmission w/overdrive. Plus, features like power steering, power
brakes, and front discs keep this one everyday useful.
This F-150 is a great way to enjoy the new generation of vintage
trucks. It's handsome, handy, and loaded. Call now!
