Vehicle Description
Premium, vintage, sleek, powerful, and still exceptionally capable
- this 1992 Ford F-250 XLT is a beautiful brute with diesel power
and tow-ready features that make it an awesome way to get the job
done.
This truck looks like it has the right mix of care and the right
investments. It starts with how straight the panels are on this
long bed pickup. It's nice to see because it makes for a great
canvas for the glossy respray of the factory-correct Twilight Blue
and Silver. In fact, the way the two-tone is laid out, it really
makes this look like it owns the road. There are nice premium XLT
details like the chrome bumpers, polished grille, and pinstripes
separating the two-tone. Plus, we love the investments that make
this both handy and attractive. This has a taller stance, Westin
step rails, LED rear lights, and big tow mirrors from a later
F-Series truck. The bed does show a few signs of working like a
real truck, but the liner paint protects it from the big stuff, and
that's probably what you already want. The long bed, proper tow
hitch, and HD 8-lug wheels (now with American Racing Outlaw rims)
are all about being a vintage truck that still knows how to be
quite useful.
The gray interior is quite vintage and loaded. This is a useful
truck but there is a well-respected style in the fundamentals,
right down to the smooth dash and the clean look of the rear bench
seat in this handy extended cab. This has the best stock features
like power windows, power locks, and a cup holder center console.
In fact, one of the largest upgrades from stock you're likely to
spot is the trailer brake control. It's another reminder of how
useful this classic also is. And you can get long haul comfortable
with front bucket seats, fold-down armrests, power lumbar
adjustment, and a tilt steering column. And the stereo is now an
AM/FM/CD unit with USB, Bluetooth, and an adjustable/movable
subwoofer for the best in modern driving music.
The massive 7.3-liter diesel motor was borrowed from International
Harvester. And they have a long-standing, nearly bulletproof
reputation. So while it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full
mileage, it seems immaterial because of the way this one knows how
to chug along. It's rare to have a five-speed manual transmission
with a large diesel motor. But the benefit is you are in complete
control of your power and economy. Plus, with power steering, power
brakes, and front discs, this can be a true anytime driver.
It's kind of nice when you can have more distinction than a new
truck, comparable ability, and spend a ton less. There are some
details you may want to do like update the tires, service the air
conditioning, or polish the headlights. It's just the kinds of
things you do when you want to keep your classic truck as handy as
the new ones. In fact, we bet you already have plans for this
F-250, and the only way to get it done is if you call today!
