Vehicle Description
A vintage pickup need to be a head turner, comfortable cruiser, and
still be able to get the job done. So that fact that this 1988 Ford
F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4 can do all that and still provide affordable
A/C comfort is why you know it's a hot commodity.
This boxy/beefy generation of Ford F-150s have an uncanny way of
looking tough, premium, and vintage all in the first glance, and
this one shows exactly why. The two-tone paint job on this F150 is
one of the more timeless looks that came out during that period.
Accented by a bright red stripe, the light and dark gray finish
gives the half-ton a sporty look. The paint also highlights a
distinct lack of bumps and bruises, suggesting that this truck has
led a well-respected life. The Lariat trim package added brightwork
- and a lot of it - so it's great to see everything complete from
the big chrome bumpers to the brushed stainless steel tailgate
insert. And speaking of tailgates, you'll notice that the bed has a
protective liner and bright side rails to make the most out of your
weekend chores. And when it's time to play, the 4x4 prowess and
trailer hitch rear bumper remind you that this classic is also up
for plenty of fun.
Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior, which features sport
red upholstery. Everything appears factory original and in quite
nice shape for its age - right down to the plush red carpeting. One
of the great reasons for buying a newer classic like this is the
seat. It's a bench that can hold three when needed, but the
high-back construction and folding armrest means you can also have
individualized comfort when it's just you going down the road. You
slip behind the factory dual-spoke steering wheel, which gives you
a commanding view of the full gauge package. This one comes loaded
with all the right features, including power windows, power locks,
and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, the R134a air
condition is a great feature to keep you going down the road in
comfort.
The 5.8-liter V8 under the hood is big upgrade from the original
inline 6. It looks quite honest and well-maintained, and the way
this one fires up readily proves it. The fuel-injected motor was an
upgrade in the F-150 line, and so it provides that extra wallop of
power you want for towing the toys or taking full advantage of the
4x4 system. Plus, it's mated to a rugged four-speed automatic
transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. Add in power steering
and front disc brakes, and, it's quite a comfortable cruiser. In
fact, this F-150 is built for the long haul thanks to the dual fuel
tanks.
This one come complete with all the right paperwork, including the
original window sticker, owner's manual, and warranty card. It's
that perfect survivor-grade pickup that still knows how to earn its
keep. So when something this cool is also so affordable, you know
you need to hurry if you want to grab this deal. Call today!!!
