Vehicle Description
69,867 original miles. Lifetime western truck. 351 V8, auto, 4x4.
Clean paint and bodywork. Beautiful XLT interior loaded with
options including cold A/C, cruise control, and more. Nice truck
that's still ready to work or play. Throughout the '80s, the Ford
F-Series built its reputation as not only the toughest bunch of
trucks you could buy, but also the best-selling vehicles in the
country. It was a time when people were adopting trucks as daily
transportation rather than just utilitarian tools, which meant the
trucks became more civilized as well as more competent. Take a look
at this handsome 1990 Ford F250 pickup, which is built to haul
almost anything you can fit in the bed. The heavy-duty look is
complemented by the two-tone paint, which gives it an upscale look.
Delivered new in Utah, it has spent the entirety of its life out
west where the roads aren't covered in salt during the winter
months, and as a result the bodywork is quite straight and clean
with no signs of trouble underneath. A heavy-duty drop-in bedliner
means you don't have to worry when hauling stuff and the 8-foot bed
can carry almost anything. There's also plenty of chrome thanks to
the XLT package, which added the bright grille and stainless side
trim, and there's a big chrome step bumper in back that suits the
heavy-duty F250 just fine.The handsome gray cloth interior is far
more comfortable than you'd expect from a heavy-duty pickup truck.
The wide cloth bench looks great and it's obviously been loved as
someone expertly replaced the driver's lower seat cushion with
well-matched fabric. Some faux woodgraining warms things up a bit
and the large, easy-to-read gauges monitor all the engine's vitals.
The leather wrapped steering wheel is a nice touch, too. Options
include cold A/C, cruise control, dual gas tanks, and an
AM/FM/cassette stereo system that still sounds decent. The shifter
on the floor manages the 4-wheel-drive transfer case and there's a
handy overdrive switch on the dash for hauling trailers. The
headliner is in excellent shape and the original carpets are
holding up nicely. It's a comfortable place to be. The 351 cubic
inch V8 is a good choice in the F250. Big enough to do some serious
work but not so big that it is excessively thirsty when you're not
doing that work. Bulletproof reliable thanks to Ford's EEC-IV fuel
injection system, it makes great low-end torque and gets the job
done. It starts easily, idles nicely, and pulls through the gears
with ease. The engine bay is clean and unmodified save for an
aftermarket air filter inside the original housing and power
steering and power disc brakes are part of the package. The 4-speed
automatic transmission with overdrive shifts cleanly and works with
4.10 gears to make the truck feel energetic and allow it to tow
significant loads. The undercarriage shows some surface scale on
the heavy metal parts but nothing critical in the bodywork and the
cab corners are clean. The exhaust system has a suitable V8 hum and
the 4-wheel-drive system is working properly. Ride quality is
pretty good given that this is a �-ton pickup and it sits on
16-inch wheels and big 265/75/16 General all-terrain
tires.Documentation includes the original manuals and booklets as
well as a Deluxe Marti Report.Is it a hobby vehicle or a work
vehicle? Why not both? These F-Series trucks were handsome,
comfortable, and easy to maintain, not to mention sturdy. There's a
lot of nostalgia around them, too, given that almost everyone had
one back in the day. Now that it's 32 years old, this F250
represents a truck that can go to a car show on Sunday and get to
work on Monday-that's a practical way to have fun in this hobby.
