Here is a 1988 Ford f250 for sale that I purchased in 2006 from a guy in Portland, Oregon area. I used it to haul plywood and things from Lowes, Home Depot, ect. Also used it to get to work once when my main vehicle was in the shop. It isn't a show truck, but it is a good hauler or work truck. It has some scratches, small dents, blemishes, etc. but not all that bad for a truck thats 25 years old. It hasn't been beaten, used as a farm truck, or been out going through mud holes while in my possession. Reason I'm selling is because most of my home projects are done, and rarely drive the truck anymore. So I would rather someone use it than have it as a lawn ornament. It has been a good truck for me and has been giving oil changes and tune-ups as scheduled for routine maintenance. If it ever needed anything I would do my best to get it fixed... since I've owned it the only work that has been needed is battery replacement, Altenator replacement, and fuel tank selector valve. Other items include fuel filter replaced (just because it never had been), changed both brake calipers (driver side had a issue) and regular oil changes, plugs wires, brake pads, air filters, etc.... With the history of the truck out of the way, here is a list of pros and cons....
PROS:
- Not a Rust bucket. (some rust as shown in pictures)
- Runs like it should.
- Shifts like it should.
- 4x4 works like it should.
- Recently had tune up/ oil change.
- (4) New Shocks all around. (less than 100 miles on them)
- (4) New Michelin Tires. (less than 100 miles on them)
- (4) New Chrome Wheels. (less than 100 miles on them)
- New 4-speaker Pioneer stereo put in last year.
- Interior in good condition.
- Doesn't burn oil.
- New lockout hubs (both sides)
- Both gas tanks are used.
- 3/4 ton, 4x4.
- Good heat in winter time.
CONS:
- Bed has some rust. (as shown in pictured)
- Small play in steering wheel. (never really bothered me, but should mention)
- Smallest of oil leak. (Mechanic thinks it may be coming from timing chain cover)
- May have exhaust leak on passenger side exhaust manifold gasket. (not super loud or anything, just noticed worn gasket the last time I installed new plugs/wires)
- Fuel gauge pegs to full reading (when full) and stays there until about half tank.
- A/C unit is all there but needs charged or inspected. (Always drove with windows down)
With the f250 being 25 years old, it is being sold AS-IS. I have done my best to honestly describe the truck to the best of my ability. This is just a good ol truck for somone looking for a hauler/daily/work truck that won't empty your bank account. Also I prefer local pick-up with cash, but will allow shipping if arranged entirley by buyer. Basically payment would be sent cashiers check and cleared by my bank and then I would help with getting it on transfer truck or trailer that you arranged. Any questions please contact me via Ebay message (I will check it a few times a day).......THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Ken Block shows us around his Ford F-150 RaptorTrax
Thu, Jan 22 2015From his Fiesta HFHV to his '65 Mustang Hoonicorn, the inimitable Ken Block has some awesome machinery at his disposal. But arguably the coolest of the bunch is the RaptorTrax. Based on the previous-gen Ford F-150 SVT Raptor - the one with the steel frame and V8 engine - Block's back country snowmobile on steroids packs a set of tracks at each corner, a full roll cage, equipment rack, lighting, jump seats, survival gear... everything he could need for a trip off road. The Gymkhana master showcased the beast a couple of months ago on the slopes of Baldface in Nelson, BC, but now he's followed up with a less eye-popping but more informative clip in which he shows us everything his RaptorTrax has to offer.

2015 Ford Mustang to offer solid-rear axle, sort of
Tue, 17 Dec 2013One of the biggest knocks against the last Ford Mustang was its solid-rear axle. Not one to actively court criticism, Ford dutifully swapped out the old-fashioned rear end for something a bit more modern in the redesigned 2015 Mustang, adding an independent rear suspension across the board.
While an IRS Mustang is great news for those that value handling and ride comfort, there's one big group that it's bad news for - drag racers. See, a solid-rear axle is a big deal for drag racers, because not only is it more durable and cheaper, but it's better for the hard launches that can make or break a race.
To satiate this vocal demographic, Ford will sell a body-in-white version of the Stang, complete with a nine-inch rear axle, that will debut at the 2014 Performance Racing Industry show. The news came from gas2.org, which cited an unnamed employee of Ford Racing at this year's PRI show.
Ford ready to install GE Wattstations at 60 locations in North America
Thu, Mar 20 2014Upper-level Ford executives are sending mixed messages about the power of plug-in vehicles, but in the companies parking lots across North America, at least, the signal is clear: come on and charge your EV. Today, Ford and GE announced that the Blue Oval will be installing Wattstation chargers at its Dearborn HQ and will then add units at more than 60 locations across the US and Canada, including "offices, product development campuses and manufacturing facilities." If you're a Ford employee, then you get four hours of free charging a day. That should be plenty to top off any of the company's plug-in vehicles, even the Focus Electric, and the time limit encourages drivers to swap cars at lunch, because Ford wants to encourage charging station sharing and get more employees to plug in. Ford doesn't mention the DOE's Workplace Charging Challenge by name in the release (available below), but we suspect these Wattstations are part of that project. Ford was one of the founding members, joining the Workplace Charging Challenge on January 31, 2013. On that date, the Ford Motor Company and Ford dealers had over 1,750 charging stations installed on company/dealer property. Ford, GE WattStation Chargers Support Employee Electric Vehicle Charging Network Ford to install its first employee electric vehicle charging station network in Dearborn, Mich.; facilities across the United States and Canada to follow Ford will work with GE as its network provider and supplier of electric vehicle charging stations; networked stations will help Ford understand charging usage and plan for future installations Ford electrified vehicles have logged an estimated 65 million electric miles over the last 18 months. Ford now offers six electrified vehicles, including Focus Electric, C-MAX Energi and Fusion Energi plug-in hybrids, and C-MAX and Fusion hybrid vehicles Ford Motor Company in conjunction with GE, will supply vehicle charging stations at Ford facilities nationwide, beginning with facilities in and around its headquarters. The announcement continues the innovative cooperation begun more than 100 years ago between Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, co-founder of GE. This month, Ford will begin installing GE WattStation™ charging stations across its North American campuses, developing a workplace charging network at nearly every Ford facility in the United States and Canada.
