Vehicle Description
Those boxy/beefy F-150s you know are now the ones starting to
appreciate in the classic market. After all, this is where
definitive style meets desirable features like a fuel-injected V8,
an overdrive transmission, and cold-blowing factory A/C. So it's
great to find this 1988 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat that looks clean and
well-kept.
This generation of pickup knows how to deliver the right kind of
style. The lines are crisp and confident, and the glossy paint
makes sure to show that off. And this is a later respray of the
correct Smoke Gray that has a sophisticated style that's perfect
for the upper-level XLT Lariat trim. It's not looking to be overly
fancy, but the bright chrome bumpers, stainless tailgate inserts,
large tow mirrors, and clean/classic wheels are just the right kind
of old-school cool. So while it's unknown if the five-digit
odometer reflects the full mileage, this likely at least rolled
over once. But there have also been the right investments and care
in this truck to let you know it has been given the right respect.
We even have a detailed maintenance log going back to 2017.
The XLT Lariat's premium feeling continues inside. It starts with a
seat finished in a comfy cloth. The high-back sides and fold-down
armrest means this has a bucket-like level of comfort when you
don't need the middle seat. You have other great features, like
power windows, power locks, and the factory AM/FM stereo. This has
cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, but most days we bet you'll
just love sliding the rear glass and opening up the side vent
windows. It gives you the kind of breeze flowing through the cab
that only a classic pickup can offer.
Under the hood is quite a tidy engine bay, and Ford's famous
5.0-liter V8 is right in the center. This came from the factory
with modern electronic fuel injection, and it's a well-maintained
package, so this is a classic that still fires up with a work-ready
eagerness. That means it has an everyday kind of appeal. Power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and excellent tread on the BF
Goodrich tires make it quite a comfortable cruiser. Plus, the
four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly all the way into
overdrive. And the dual fuel tanks and cruise control even make
this an easy long-distance machine.
This is a cool classic with a terrific vintage style and all the
best features. That's why this deal is irresistible. Call
