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.

Ladies Love It: Ford Fiesta wins Womens World Car of the Year

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

It's official: A panel of female automotive writers has chosen the Ford Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost as the Womens World Car of the Year, and it beat tough competition like the Mazda CX-5, Range Rover and Porsche Boxster S for the overall top spot.
The CX-5 and Range Rover won the SUV and Luxury Car categories, respectively, and the Boxster S laid claim to the Sports Car category, beating the runner up Audi RS5 and third place Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ (or Scion FR-S). The Audi Allroad was named the Family car of the year.
The panel consisted of 18 female automotive writers from around the world tasked with picking the best car in each of eight categories, including top vehicle overall, using criteria that women utilize when shopping for a car. That includes safety, value-for-money, aesthetic appearance, storage space, child-friendliness, ease-of-driving, color, sex appeal and environmental footprint.

Ford Transit Skyliner Concept does discreet luxury in NYC

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

There's something to be said for luxed-out vans. They're cool, and as a means of getting chauffeured about, they're extremely comfortable and far more low key than your typical executive luxury sedan. For the 2014 New York Auto Show, Galpin Auto Sports has shown the potential of the new-for-the-US Ford Transit as an ultra-luxurious people hauler.
The Transit Skyliner Concept, which we previewed last week, sports four finely crafted captain's buckets that can be moved into different formations based on need. Want to watch a movie? The seats can be swung around to face a 52-inch screen. Riding along with some business associates? A table can be popped up. There's even a configuration for tailgating.
The materials are, unsurprisingly, pretty plush. The leather seats and wood floors (yes, wood floors in a van) look great, while the trunk and its customized luggage are a nice touch, as well.

Ford unveils all-new 2016 F-650 and F-750 at NTEA

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

Medium-duty work trucks might not be the most exciting vehicles, but they perform necessary jobs everyday. Ford is in the process of a complete refresh of its entire commercial vehicle lineup over the next 18 months, and it is debuting the all-new versions of its F-650 and F-750 trucks at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN.
"The all-new F-650/F-750 allow us to leverage our strengths and sales leadership in Classes 1 to 5 to create a better F-650/F-750 that's designed, engineered and built by Ford in the USA," said Ford spokesperson Mike Levine to Autoblog via email.
Huge amounts of torque is vital for trucks like these, and both models are offered with some of Fords biggest engines. Buyers can opt for either the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel with TorqShift 6-speed automatic with available power takeoff or a gasoline-fueled 6.8-liter V10 with a 6-speed automatic. The V10 can also be ordered from the factory to be fueled by compressed natural gas or liquid propane gas.
