Vehicle Description
This 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat is at an interesting crossroads.
It's an exceptionally original pickup with a loaded interior and
averaging only about 2,500 miles annually on its numbers-matching
fuel-injected V8. But it's also a capable worker that has the
extended range of dual fuel tanks. So, do you collect it or utilize
capabilities? At this affordable price, we suggest doing both.
The two-tone blue and white is just how you remembered it because
it still wears most of its same paint that came from the factory
more than a quarter-century ago. And yes, it really does look this
good in person as it does in the pictures. It takes very careful
ownership to have a vehicle that was destined to be a used up
during everyday working, and instead, it still can still shine up
all these years later. The XLT Lariat trim package added a pleasing
amount of brightwork to the truck, and even an extra pinstripe in
the full-length body crease. All of it remains in very good
condition, from the wheelwell moldings, to the shiny factory
wheels, to the big chrome bumpers, to the brushed stainless steel
tailgate insert. But it's the accessories that let you know this
well-preserved pickup is still ready to work. After all, the long
bed has a tough liner to keep up with your weekend chores, and the
rear step bumper with trailer hitch extends this versatility.
Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior, which features a
comfortable blue cloth on the seats and woodgrained-style trim on
the dash to give it a more luxurious feel. We believe the whole
interior is regional, right down to the floor mats, and the minimal
wear is just another sign that this pickup has been respected since
day one. There's a fold-down center console so you can decide if
you want to carry two friends or have a more individual level of
comfort. Regardless of how many people are inside, this is quite a
luxurious experience. Cruise control, tilt wheel, and the original
AM/FM/cassette stereo are features you don't find on many vintage
pickups today. And while the air conditioner is blowing modern
R134a cold air, we know you also won't be able to resist sliding
the rear window to get your breezes the old fashioned way.
The original 5.0-liter V8 is under the hood, and it's a great
choice in the F-150. Averaging around 2,500 miles annually, this
pickup has led a pampered life. And low mileage does not mean it
missed out on servicing, and we have the maintenance records to
prove it. The fuel-injected motor neatly straddles the line between
power and economy. It's mated to a rugged four-speed automatic
transmission with highway friendly overdrive. Plus, with power
steering, new rear shocks, and front disc brakes, this is a
comfortable cruiser. In fact, this F-150 is built to run the long
haul thanks to the dual fuel tanks.
This is the perfect mix of rugged and comfort. All of this comes in
a nicely preserved pickup that's price to move quickly. So you
already know you're going to have to act fast to take this one
home. Call now!
