Vehicle Description
This 1996 Ford F-150 XLT is the kind of truck we love to find. The
fuel-injected V8 and control of a five-speed make this fun. It's
not out to be a Mustang Five-Oh contender because the pony car
isn't a versatile and loaded 4x4. Instead, it's the practical
classic that's ideal for work and play.
We love a good short-bed single-cab 4x4 because they have the look
of an adventurer. The taller stance, tow mirrors, trailer hitch
step bumper, bed rails, and fresh bed liner add to that swagger -
and are darn useful, too. So we know exactly why you're attracted
to this truck. The factory-correct Vermilion Red and Oxford White
look bright and complete. The two-tone was refreshed later in life
to remain attractive while still looking mature and reserved today.
And the full style is quite nice with bright bumpers, bright
alloys, clean lines, and an overall crisp quality. It makes for the
kind of pickup where you spent decades giving this good care while
also never hesitating to kick it into four-wheel-drive and blaze
your own trail.
This is an XLT-level truck, and that means a loaded and comfy
interior. It includes features like power windows, power locks, a
sliding rear window, an AM/FM/cassette stereo, electric lumbar
support, and air conditioning. It is a driver-oriented setup with a
fold-down armrest console, a tilt steering column, and an airbag
steering wheel. You'll see touches of age, but considering this
pickup has only averaged around 2700 miles annually, it's an
overall clean and comfy experience.
Under the hood is Ford's hardy 5.0-liter V8. Fuel injection, power
steering, power brakes with ABS, and front discs are all part of a
more modern package that makes this classic an easy cruiser. This
also has cruise control and overdrive on the five-speed
transmission. So this F-150 can eat up the miles with ease. Part of
what we really like about this truck is that it has features that
4x4 enthusiasts often seek out. The transfer case control is a
manual floor shift, the hubs auto lock, and first gear knows how to
give you low-end torque. It makes for the right combo of a 4x4
system that's often easier to maintain and truly use.
Complete with the owner's manual packet, this is the one truck
that's hardy, attractive, useful, fun, and loaded. Call
