Vehicle Description
This 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT is a bright maroon big boy 4x4 with
plenty of utility, comfort, and V8 power. It makes for an
attractive classic that also appeals to your practical side.
This F-150 announces its presence with its bold square-shouldered
design and a raised 4x4 suspension. It wears its factory-correct
Maroon Metallic with distinction. It was resprayed later in life to
have a glossy and attractive look. So it will get you respect at
the stoplights, but they made sure it wasn't so perfect that you'd
hesitate to keep going in this 4x4 once the street ends. And that's
exactly how to view this pickup: beauty mixed with brawn. Bright
chrome bumpers, straight full-length trim, and a unique 1978 grille
with square headlights are all part of a package that gives this
pickup plenty of appeal. Plus, the rear step bumper and beefy tires
on the polished 15-inch wheels are nice reminders of substance
within the style. Plus, the liner paint inside the bed means you
can carry a truckload of fun.
Open the door to an interior with the right updates and upgrades.
The black bench seat has a cool classic truck look with tuck and
roll patterns and insignia trim, but it feels fresher from
investments later in life. And this has more good fundamentals with
a taut headliner, newer carpets, a smooth dash, and clean glass.
You have nice upgrades like tinted windows and an AM/FM/CD stereo.
But your favorite pieces are likely going to be the classic ones.
The grippy steering wheel and tall shifter give you a commanding
driving position. And the sliding rear glass gets old-school
breezes flowing through the cab.
The engine bay shows off more of this truck's well-done
presentation. It has a tidy look with newer components like hoses
and spark plug wires. Even the bolts look clean and fresh. At the
center is Ford's mighty 351 cubic-inch V8. It has a clean look with
the bold blue block and plenty of polish on the valve covers and
air grabber. But the true feeling of quality is felt in how eagerly
this V8 fires up. And the header-fed dual exhaust and Flowmaster
mufflers give the motor a terrific tune. It's a strong motor, and
you get firm control over it all with a four-speed manual
transmission. Power steering and power brakes with discs up front
complete a solid driving package. When the pavement ends, this has
a proper 4x4 two-speed transfer case, a tall ground clearance, and
deep treads on the BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires make sure this
Ford will get you to all your favorite destinations.
This F-150 has been given nice investments in making sure it looks
good and can still get the job done. So if you love a truck that
can turn heads and lead the way, call today!
