Vehicle Description
You know that truck that impresses everyone for being cool,
premium, and correctly upgraded? This 1986 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat
4x4 is it! This has all the right moves with a slick black
exterior, loaded A/C interior, an overdrive transmission, and a
solid list of recent investments - including an awesome stereo
system and professional rebuild of the fuel-injected V8.
Bright bumpers, clean glass, and upper-level Lariat trim give it a
terrific sense of style. And the factory-correct Raven Black paint
was given a later quality respray to make sure it looks glossy and
premium appearance. We're not talking about overly done perfection
because that's the kind of truck that gets dismissed as a trailer
queen. Instead, this one has the kind of features that reminds you
it's more than just glamour mussels. A nice lifted 4x4 stance, big
Grabber tires, proper liner paint in the bed, large towing mirrors,
and a bright diamond plate bed toolbox are about making work-ready
look stylish. It's the kind of total package that reminds you of
the first time you saw one of these 7th-gen F-Series trucks back in
the day, and it was done just right to where you knew you needed to
have one like it one day. This is why the style of this one really
stays with you.
Canyon Red was a great color to have in the Mustangs of this time,
and so it's also quite welcomed to see a sporty hue inside this
pickup. There's a plushness to the velour on this seat that kicks
off the feeling of a premium and well-invested classic. More of the
vintage upper classic style is on the wood-like paneling of the
dash and factory steering wheel. Plus, you get features like power
windows, power locks, sliding rear glass, and cold-blowing air
conditioning. Most of the upgrades here are subtle, like the
brighter interior lighting, keyless entry/alarm, and the Ford logo
floor mats. So it all just feels like a cool truck to give you the
right nostalgia. But we bet you also want to use this as a modern
cruiser, and so there is one very obvious upgrade that makes all
the difference. The touchscreen mounted on the dash is your gateway
to the full infotainment system that includes Bluetooth, satellite
radio, a backup camera, and the amplified subwoofer speaker system.
We have the receipts showing it was a $3,500 investment in a
professional setup, and it makes for a terrific way to upgrade the
full vintage pickup experience.
A proper pickup needs real power, and this has a year-correct 302
cubic-inch V8. But you can see how this powerhouse looks extra
clean, right? That's because there was over $11k invested in a full
rebuild in 2021. So while this was already a legendary hardy
powerhouse, this one has the kind of fresh and confident feeling
that makes it an impressive fuel-injected powerhouse. This is the
heart of why this truck is so desirable. Sure classic looks and an
awesome stereo are nice, but the motor keeps this truck truly
versatile. After all, you have the two-speed 4x4 transfer case for
proper off-road work. But the solid-feeling suspension, power
steering, and power brakes with discs up front are great for
everyday kind of use. In fact, not only does the four-speed
automatic transmission have highway-friendly overdrive, but also
you have dual fuel tanks and cruise control for true long-haul
comfort.
This is the kind of classic that you have wanted for a very long
time. And the way you built it in your head is the same kind of
quality and features you see here. So it's time to make your dream
a reality. Call today!!!
