Vehicle Description
Somewhere between a muscle machine and true 4x4 workhorse is this
1975 Ford F-100 Ranger. With its powerful big block V8,
four-on-the-floor, upgraded features, and off-road prowess, you get
an attention-grabbing vintage appearance wrapped in a ready-to-work
attitude. Best of all, this total package will cost you less than a
brand new 4x4.
The metallic tan has the kind of premium appearance you would
expect from the high-end Ranger. It gives the truck a nice shine
and it's the kind of color that looks both vintage but with plenty
of modern appeal. Plus, one look at the super-straight body, and
it's obvious this has led a good life. And that makes sense
considering the Ranger was a top trim available in 1975. But just
because it has a premium appearance, don't forget these were made
earn their keep. The wide step bumper provides easy access to the
bed, and when you look inside, there's a thick rubber mat
protecting it. And those 15-inch later-model Ford alloys really
highlight the lift of the go-anywhere 4x4 suspension. Plus, take
note of the trailer hitch with modern plug and trailer brake. So
now you know the affordable truck that leaves money in the budget
for toys can also tow them, too.
Open the door, and you'll see some obvious signs of an investment
in keeping this F-100 comfortable. The tan cloth bench seat looks
new, and it's a great upgrade over the vinyl. The exterior metallic
tan paint is used on the dash and along the door tops to add some
extra color and give the truck a nice uniform feeling. The driver
gets a grippy factory steering wheel, and beyond that are the
original gauges and heat/defrost controls. It has been updated with
a more modern radio disguised as an original knob-style unit. That
way you have an AM/FM digital tuner with an aux input for modern
music players without ruining the vintage atmosphere. But we know
your favorite soundtrack to this 4x4 is really what's exiting just
behind the doors.
There was a big upgrade under the hood. The original 302 V8 was
exchanged for the largest motor available in the series. Ford's
huge 460 cubic-inch V8 has been expertly installed so that looks
like it belonged in here from day one. And more than just big block
displacement, this truck has been further enhanced with go-fast
goodies like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and
an aluminum radiator to keep everything cool. And we know you'll
love the fierce bark that comes from the side pipe dual exhaust.
It's a great power package, that when combined with control the
four-speed manual transmission, makes for a muscle truck for the
streets. But this burly V8 also has another propose. It's a 4x4
with a two-speed transfer case, enhanced ground clearance, and a
great set of Hankook Dynapro A/T-M tires. And no matter if you want
to use this for off-road or just weekend chores, great driving
features like power steering and front disc brakes make every trip
an easy one.
It's time to be the coolest truck to arrive everywhere from the
boat ramp to the camp site. This affordable, premium, and powerful
package is the kind of deal that's going quickly. So don't miss
