No Reserve: 1988 Ford F-250 HD XLT Lariat 4×4 5-Speed

This 1988 Ford F-250 HD XLT Lariat is a regular-cab Styleside pickup powered by a 7.3-liter diesel V8 mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and it  is finished in two-tone red and burgundy over red cloth upholstery. Equipment includes an AM/FM/cassette stereo, air conditioning, cruise control, and dual fuel tanks. The truck was first sold at Timberline Auto Center of Libby, Montana, and reportedly remained with its original owner before it was acquired by the selling dealer in December 2021. Work in 2022 included replacing the tires and refinishing the wheels. This F-250 shows 76k miles and is now offered in Oregon at no reserve with the original purchase documents, manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, four keys, removed running boards and a camper shell, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Idaho title.

The truck is finished in two-tone red and burgundy and is equipped with chrome bumpers and protective side moldings with polished accents. Additional exterior details include an argent-finished grille, a sliding rear window, a receiver hitch, and towing mirrors. A removed camper shell and running boards are included in the sale and are shown mounted on the truck at the end of the gallery.

This is a re-list after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in April 2022 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase due to health issues. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner has been banned from future participation on BaT.

Steel 16″ wheels were refinished following the last auction, and 235/85 BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires were also installed. The truck is equipped with rear mud flaps and the Heavy Duty Package, which added gas-pressurized shocks. The front axle is equipped with locking hubs, and the seller reports that the wheels were refinished in preparation for the sale.

The cab features a single bench seat trimmed in red cloth along with a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets, the latter of which are protected with rubber floor mats.
