Milton, Wisconsin, United States
1988 Ford F-250 XLT Lariat.
**EDIT** I just looked at the Vehicle History Report and it clearly indicates that there are more miles than I thought. More fool me - I was basing the current mileage on what the previous owner told me. Sorry for any confusion. I am the third owner of this truck and Specs: 460 ci V8 engine with fuel injection 5 speed manual transmission Locking rear axle Twin fuel tanks Curt manufacturing class 3 receiver hitch Electric brake controller Fibergalss Service Box with three doors per side. Some doors have shelves, others have hooks. All six door's locks work and are commonly keyed. Box has 4 "D" rings in each corner for tying down large loads. Interior: Cloth bench seat in brown/tan. Behind the seat storage bins. Sliding rear window. Instrument cluster has full complement of gauges. Voltage gauge in cluster does not work; there is an 2 1/8" aftermarket voltage gauge added to the bottom of the dash. A/C components work, but there is a slow leak and would need to be recharged to get much out of it. Cassette player in original radio works - play your .mp3 device through the adapter. Exterior: Two-tone brown paint with some paint fade/peel on hood and roof. Passenger side door gently dented (could be pushed out) and left front fender has a crease above the turn signal. Some surface rust in the lower cab corners, but no holes. Large aftermarket mirrors bolt through the doors and those spots are rusty and need attention. Fiberglass box in good shape with no cracks. Won't rust! I miss that with my larger metal box van. Tires have plenty of life yet. Rims are non-sexy black steel (I swapped the alloys seen in the pictures over to my new van) Wipers are weak and need some attention. I've replaced the switch (that didn't fix it) and bought a wiper motor that I haven't installed yet. Headlights are a bit cloudy; I have a better set that will go with the truck. Exhaust system is a a little loud, but not so much that you'll get in trouble (in my experience). Truck starts and runs faithfully and is ready to help you earn some money or serve as your portable tool or toybox. Please arrange to view and drive this truck prior to bidding. I have described the truck honestly and will answer all questions the same way. More pictures available on request (please allow me 24 hours to respond). Shipping, if requested, to be arranged by purchaser. There is a possibility I could deliver the vehicle to within a few hundred miles of Southern WI - please contact me prior to bidding to discuss. |

Best cars for snow and ice in 2023 and 2024
Tue, Jan 23 2024What's the best car for snow? The real answer is "the one with winter tires." What do we mean by that? You could have the finest, most advanced all-wheel-drive system or four-wheel drive in the world, but if you're running all-seasons (the spork of tires), your fancy four-wheeler won't matter much. The odds are, any vehicle on the road running good winter tires will probably perform adequately in slippery, slushy and/or snowy road conditions. (Here's a more complete explanation of why winter tires are totally worth it). In other words, you don't really need any of the cars on this list. With a set of winter tires, countless others will do the job, and even these will be at their best with proper rubber. You can find a variety of winter tires for your car here at Tire Rack. Keep in mind that you will need a full set of four snow tires for safety and performance, no matter what you're driving. The days of your dad putting just two snows on the family truckster to get it moving in a straight line are long gone. Don't get us wrong, getting a car that performs well in snow and ice is still a worthy criteria for car buyers. According to the U.S. Transportation Department, 70% of Americans live in places that get snow and ice. And much of the country has been blasted with arctic air for much of the new year. So let's look at the cars. First, we're highlighting choices for a variety of buyers and price points. Second, we're not just considering snow; we're considering general wintery conditions people will experience driving to work or school. As such, these are all choices with advanced all-wheel-drive systems, usually with "torque-vectoring" systems that not only automatically shunt power front and back, but side to side between the rear axles. Most have extra ground clearance for getting through deep snow, and we prefer those vehicles with more responsive steering, throttles and transmissions that provide a greater sense of vehicle control in slippery conditions.  Acura RDX Read our Acura RDX Review Acura's Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive system was one of the first to offer torque-vectoring, and besides often being touted for its ability to greatly enhanced dry-road handling, its benefits in the slick stuff can be profound. It's actually surprising that Acura hasn't leaned into this capability further by offering more rugged versions of its vehicles.
Ford set to target pre-school market with next F-150 variant
Tue, Jun 17 2014How do you build a strong group of loyalists from the next generation of American drivers? You start em' young. Ford has taken that lesson to heart, as we can see in the first batch of images of the company's new entry to the pre-school market, the Power Wheels F-150. This particular example was caught returning from testing around Ford's base of operations in Dearborn, MI – covered in tiny little bits of camouflage, too. Now, this could very well end up being a collaboration between Power Wheels and Ford. Then again, it could just be some bored engineers that decided to troll the local congregation of spy photographers, who earlier today captured images of the next Focus RS and SVT Mustang. Whatever it is, it's pretty darn cool. Take a look up top for images of the new Power Wheels F-150.
