Year:1988 Mileage:999999 Color: Two
Location:

Milton, Wisconsin, United States

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 it does have less than 100,000 miles.  It is an excellent workhorse and really fun to drive (much more entertaining than the Service Van I've upgraded to).

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.

Ford Fusion getting substantial refresh for 2017

Wed, 13 Aug 2014

It's only been a couple of years since Ford rolled out the current Fusion, but if these spy shots are anything to go by, it's already planning what appears to be a substantial update for the mid-size sedan.
According to our paparazzi on the ground, the new Fusion is being prepared for launch late in 2016 or early 2017. Although heavily camouflaged to keep it from prying eyes such as ours, it appears that the updated Fusion will tone down the Aston Martin-style grille, ditch the small corner window with revised front side glass and tweak the vehicle's overall shape. But there's more to the new Fusion than a styling adjustment, and our spy photographers have caught a glimpse inside and taken us along.
Apparently the new Fusion is to get a completely overhauled interior with soft-touch surfaces and matte wood trim to make it seem more upscale. There's an all-new rotary gear selector (like you'd find on a Jaguar, for example) hinting at the implementation of a new nine-speed automatic transmission. The prototype appears to be packing the Microsoft SYNC system, suggesting that the new Blackberry QNX system isn't ready quite yet - though that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be ready by the time the new Fusion is.

2018 Ford Expedition vs other big SUVs: How it compares on paper

Fri, Nov 10 2017

With our Alex Kierstein rightly impressed in his first-drive review of the new 2018 Ford Expedition, we decided to dig a little deeper into the numbers, and we came up with the spreadsheet below to highlight how the new 2018 Expedition compares on paper to its main full-size SUV competitors: the 2018 Chevy Tahoe and Suburban (and therefore the 2018 GMC Yukon), 2018 Toyota Sequoia and 2018 Nissan Armada. We also threw in the new, even bigger 2018 Chevrolet Traverse since, as you'll see, its massive dimensions should put it on the radar for anyone who needs loads of passenger and cargo space but doesn't care as much about towing. A few notes about the chart above. First, the 6.2-liter V8 that's included with the new-for-2018 Tahoe RST trim level is the standard engine on the GMC Yukon Denali. You can apply most of the Tahoe's numbers to the entire Yukon and Yukon XL lineup. Second, though we highlighted categories where the Traverse led, we also highlighted the runner-up full-size SUV, since this was ultimately about that segment. Traverse numbers are broadly applicable to the new Buick Enclave.

Radical RXC is a Mustang-hearted racecar for the road

Fri, May 30 2014

Radical has been building fantastic open-cockpit racers and roadcars for years, for the track day enthusiast who wants a vehicle that looks like it could show up for a start at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The company's latest creation is the RXC, and while this coupe looks like a prototype racer, it's road legal in the UK and in some parts of the US. When testing a car this, um, radical, the first thought is likely to get it to the track for some big slides and wide open acceleration, but XCar Films takes the opposite approach in its latest video to learn how this racer fares on public roads. The version tested here is the standard RXC with the 3.7-liter V6 out of the Ford Mustang tuned to 350 horsepower with a seven-speed sequential gearbox; but Radical also offers the same engine with 380-hp, a 454-hp Ford EcoBoost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, or even a 500-hp V8. Even in the most basic guise, it's a handful to control in the wet, if this video is any indication. The cliche of a road-legal racecar is bandied around a lot in the motoring world, but it truly applies to the RXC. The only problem with seeing the RXC exclusively on the road is that it can never really open up and show its full potential. This racer is indeed chomping at the bit to rocket off into the horizon, but all those pesky road safety laws hold it back. Still, the video is a chance to get a better impression about this thoroughbred sports car. Scroll down to check it out. This content is hosted by a third party.
