Please read this entire description before bidding.  I am providing a lot of detail in this description so it is accurately described.  I have already purchased its replacement so there is no reserve.  I need to get it off my insurance policy ASAP.  It will be sold to the highest bidder when this auction closes.  Happy bidding and good luck. 

For sale is my Ford F-150 XLT pick up truck that has an extended cab, 8 foot bed, 2WD, and a rear sliding window.  Less than 25% of all trucks made have any of these options.  Less than 1% have all of them on the same vehicle.  It is very rare. 

It isn't my primary vehicle.  I've always had a pick up as a second vehicle to move the family to the shore on weekends and deliver furniture to and from a local estate auction when I can handle the loading and unloading by myself.  My family has grown and I found a similar truck that has all the same features with the larger size crew cab.  As I show in the pictures, the extended cab has the front seat that is a split 60%/40% bench and the middle can be  tilted down to become an arm rest / cup holder.  The back seats are also a 60%/40% split bench that can be locked in the upright position.  

I purchased it in 2007 with 101,000 miles and I've put almost 43,000 miles on it.  The motor is a Triton 8 cylinder, 4.6 L with strong power.  The prior owner used it as a toy because it had the bed rug and stretch vinyl bed cover on it.  Most of my miles have been from driving family stuff like kids, bikes, strollers, etc.  The light moving was minimal miles and just local deliveries.  The vinyl cover got wind damaged because I didn't secure it for highway driving.  I needed to removed the three bed rug side panels to protect them from rain when I removed the bed cover and frame.  I still have all the sections and will include them in this auction if the winning bidder wants it.  

Mechanically, this is a great truck.  I gave it regular maintenance.  The oil was changed within the last 1,000 miles, I replaced the tires last year and just replaced the breaks and rotors last month.   On the way home from getting the breaks replaced, I got the long scratch / dent over the passenger side rear wheel well.  That is the worst dent / scratch on the truck and was the catalyst to start the search for the replacement.  

Any truck with this many miles has flaws.  Almost all flaws with this truck are cosmetic.  Another words, there are several dings and dents all around this truck.  Most were on the truck when I bought it.  You will see my replacement has several too.  Trucks seem to be cheaper when they have a couple dents.  I have always cared more about the trim package and mechanical reliability.  I've photographed and included the up close shots of the worst ones.  There is also small 3" crack in the windshield caused by a stone that shot up from a vehicle in front of me.  It is not a distraction while driving and has passed inspections.  The plastic end cap that is on top of the gear shifter went missing a couple years ago.  The kids never fessed up how they actually got it off and I never got around to buying another one.  

The ABS light has stayed lit while driving for the past three years  I had the antilock braking system checked back when the light got stuck on.  It works fine and has always past inspection while lit.  I just never wanted to spend big bucks trying to figure out why it stays on.  For some reason the passenger side lock won't go up when you push the power lock button on the drivers side.  Again, not a big deal.  You can see from the pics the interior seats are clean and I have extra mats on the floor.  The stains on the floor are from the kids that spilt soda and drinks.  Giving the carpets a shampoo would remove them if that is important to you.

This truck isn't half way through its life because it has been well maintained and never used hard.  I took a pic of my replacement gold color Ram pick up truck bed cover so you can see the type of vinyl cover frame I have and what it would look like if you decide to purchase a new cover to put over the existing but unattached frame.  Nothing in the picture showing the gold truck is for sale in this auction.  It is included strictly for a visual description only of what the vinyl cover would look like on the truck being sold.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Bid with confidence.  I can't think of anything else to share about it.  Good luck in your bidding.  Someone will get a great deal on a rare XLT, 2WD, 8' long bed with an extended cab that runs great.  Thank you for your interest.

Now that the auction is half over, I've ran a Kelley Blue Book appraisal.  Based on their specifications below, this truck rates most like their Good classification.  To confirm, I've copied both their Good and Fair option specifications.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
