Vehicle Description
If you're a truck person, this 1988 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4 will
excite you. You have a nearly indescribable 4.9-liter motor, the
control of a four-speed, dual fuel tanks, versatile accessories,
and four-wheel drive ability. And for those who just want a
cruiser, features like fuel injection and cold A/C make this a
terrific fit, too.
The vivid red looks good on the sturdy slab sides of this F-150.
Clean wheels, bright bumpers, premium XLT trim, and upgraded large
dual exhaust tips make for some nice flair. But nothing about this
truck makes you think it's not all about being ready to get the job
done. There's a fully lined bed, wide towing mirrors, a rear step
bumper, and a proper trailer hitch. And those new tires are ready
to take you everywhere, from the campsite to the boat ramp.
The interior shows good care and investments in the right truck
fundamentals. It's clean and complete, right down to the working
dome light. It's unknown if the odometer represents the full actual
mileage, but the overall impression inside is the kind of truck
with some use but far from a workhorse lifestyle. Part of this
comfy feeling also comes from the level of amenities on an
upper-level XLT Lariat. You have excellent features like
cold-blowing air conditioning, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, a
sliding rear window, cruise control, and a fold-down center
armrest. The stock steering wheel is on a tilt column to give a
clear view of the full factory gauges, including the handy
tach.
The 4.9-liter inline-six is a legendary motor. They have the
durability reputation of diesel, and a later model like this with
fuel injection means this robust motor was built to be powerful and
consistent from day one. The four-speed manual transmission is
great for all-around control. It works great with the four-wheel
drive if you need immediate torque from the low first, or maybe you
just need extra power on the streets from a quick downshift. Power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern tires make it a
comfortable cruiser.
This is the ideal mix of rugged and comfortable. It's the cool
classic that still knows how to earn its keep. So at a price like
this, you already know you'll have to act fast to take this one
home. Call now!
