Vehicle Description
2011 Ford F350 Lariat 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed Pickup
While there were not many magazine reviews of the truck in 2011,
there was testimony from an owner on a Ford Truck forum after one
year of ownership. "The interior layout is nice, and Ford seems to
have stepped up on the quality of materials too. Love how big and
spacious it is inside too. Being able to sync my phone for music
and phone calls is awesome. The navigation system, in my opinion,
works well. Whether I'm towing an 18' open trailer with my race car
on it, or a 28' enclosed trailer with my race car and tons of other
gear, this thing just tows and tows. The power to go up the hills,
even in 6th gear, and maintain speed is awesome. The engine is
awesome. It's got plenty of get up and go. It gets good gas mileage
for lugging around 8K lbs."
For consignment, a Ford F350 Lariat 4x4 crew cab short bed pickup
truck with a title verified 152,193 actual miles. It has the 6.7
liter Powerstroke Diesel onboard, known for their torque and towing
power, as the happy Ford customer talks about. And interior space?
If you have a crew or a family of five, they are going to be very
comfortable in this well maintained rig.
Exterior
In the early 2000's, the trend towards bigger and bolder grilles
took hold and by 2011, grilles became the dominant features on full
sized trucks, including our White Platinum Pearl F350 here, which
is fronted almost completely in chrome, both plastic and steel. It
sets the tone for a big truck with large panels and a tall cabin
with decidedly vertical features that include the large trailer
side mirrors, the door handles, and the upright tail lights that
wrap the rear fender. Running boards temper the monstrous height of
the truck, augmented by the 20-inch black wheels borrowed from a
2019 F350 Sport. Other contrasting black features include tinted
windows, rain guards, and the smooth tonneau on the bed. Out back,
the big bumper carries a tow hitch and electrical harness, and a
sunroof and cab lights reside up top. Despite the mileage, this
pampered truck shows no glaring imperfections on the exterior!
Interior
Charcoal black molded plastic door panels have ample storage and
are accented with a platinum panel and robust door pull. Use the
A-pillar handle to climb aboard and you'll find charcoal leather
seats in good shape with some wrinkles on the driver's side but the
rest are in great condition including the back bench, super clean
and configured for three occupants who will have ample leg and head
room and their own assist from a pull handle on the B-pillar. The
steering wheel is awash with thumb controls for various functions
and the dash is a simple two gauge layout with center info screen
and four small horizontal gauges across the top, a favored design
that would stay with F350's for at least another 10 years. A large
screen occupies the center stack accented by columns of plastic
woodgrain and is the control center for the backup camera, nav, and
AM/FM/CD radio. The climate control panel falls below that and is
simple in design and the center console has four cup holders over
low pile black carpet that is in fine shape, protected by
WeatherTech mats. The headliner also presents nicely around the
sunroof cutout.
Drivetrain
Under the hood presenting as driver quality is the heart of the
beast, a 6.7 liter Powerstroke Diesel rated at 390 horsepower, (and
notably, around 700 lb-ft of torque!), fuel injected and pushed
into motion by the 6R140 6-speed automatic transmission which
splits power front and rear, both with 3.55 gears. And fitting for
a truck with a Super Duty truck with a Powerstroke, power disc
brakes are on all four wheels.
Undercarriage
Meaty components underneath are subject to typical surface rust,
some grease, and even a spattering of mud. There is a body brace
that surrounds a wire harness suffering from some pitted surface
rust, but structurally, everything seems sound underneath. A single
exhaust carries an original muffler and sends gases back to exit
through a chrome splitter behind the rear wheel. Suspension
consists of radius arm and coil springs up front and heavy duty
leaf springs in the rear.
Drive-Ability
Acrophobia sufferers need not apply. The perch is high in the sky
and affords an interesting perspective on cars below you and their
occupants. But I digress. This rough and tumble modern work truck
provides a comfortable and roomy cabin and enough power to get it
moving at a respectable clip while possessing the ability to tow a
race trailer, long camper, farm equipment, or just about anything
you want. A folding mirror and sliding rear window are not working
but all other functions including lights, radio, camera, and brakes
work flawlessly, and this truck is ready to be called into service.
While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were
working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these
functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
It's a bruiser and can get the job done, or a cruiser and allow a
comfortable ride so high that if you're ever stuck in traffic,
fantasies of driving OVER it would not be unwarranted, or advised,
by the way. But if you need a vehicle that can tow, plow, and tow
your show car or race car, this F350 is up to the task. It's why we
list "working trucks" here at Classic Auto Mall and why, more often
than not, they find a new home. Time to upgrade your light duty
truck to something Super.
