Vehicle Description
You know that truck that impresses everyone for being cool,
premium, and the kind that they just haven't seen in a while? This
1985 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat Explorer is it! With a slick black
exterior, loaded interior, and plenty of interesting features
(including the dual tanks), it's a survivor-grade pickup with all
the right moves.
We love the way this one-owner F-150 has been cared for over the
years. The straightness of the body panels tells you this was no
workhorse, and even the paint looks like it could be original. The
condition is not showroom perfect, but it still retains a level of
shine and detail that tells you it was one cherished pickup. We
love the details on this one, too. Like the red and silver
pinstripe package that highlights the full-length crease in the
sheetmetal. And the chrome bumpers have a terrific shine. Plus, the
addition of Cragar SS wheels really does give this timeless appeal.
But more than just look good, this pickup can still earn it's keep.
Features like the tow mirrors, trailer hitch, and dual fuel tanks
are the kind of things that make this looker the ideal one to tow
the toys.
That exterior pinstriping is also a nice preview of the interior.
Canyon Red was a great color to have in the Mustangs of this time,
and so it's also quite welcomed to see sporty hue inside this
pickup. And since this factory-correct color has a time
capsule-like quality, it just enhances the feeling of care for the
F-150. But there's also a premium side, too. You see it in the wood
paneling on the dash as well as the factory steering wheel. Plus,
you get features like cruise control and the factory AM/FM/cassette
stereo. There's even factory air conditioning. But we know your
favorite breezes will be from opening the side vent windows and
sliding the rear glass.
A proper pickup needs the real power, and this has the correct 302
cubic-inch V8. It looks quite authentic in the engine bay, and you
can tell from the condition of the belts, wires, and hoses that
it's always received proper maintenance. So you've got a truck with
the power to do everything from make Home Depot runs to tow the
trailer for a camping weekend. Plus, the four-speed automatic
transmission has a highway-friendly overdrive for true long haul
comfort. Add in the twin I-beam front suspension, power steering,
and power brakes with discs up front, and this classic pickup can
easily maintain its manners the road.
The sale comes with all the right paperwork you want in a cherished
pickup, including the original window sticker, warranty card, bill
of sale, title docs, and dealer invoice. A great classic with a
stellar history always has appeal, so when it's also this useful
and priced so nicely means it's going to be leaving us quickly.
