1987 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat

Description

This 1987 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat is a terrific kind of new classic pickup. You still get a fuel-injected V8, a comfortable interior, and plenty of hauling power - just now with more distinction and pay thousands $$$$ than a new pickup.

This truck likes to be distinctive with the bright red and white two-tone. Plus, the chrome bumpers, bright tailgate, and shiny wheel trim are all part of the upscale style you want on a premium XLT Lariat trim package. We won't pretend it's perfect, but if you need a show truck, this one also leaves plenty in the budget for that. And what you really want this one for is that classic square-jaw tough appearance in a package that's still ready to work today. That's why this already comes with a folding tonneau cover, towing mirrors, and a full tow hitch.

The interior feels quite upscale for a classic pickup. The full red package coordinates with the exterior, and it includes a comfortable cloth bench seat. This not only has good bolstering, but also there's a fold-down center console so you can decide if you want to carry two friends or have a more individual level of comfort. The original factory steering wheel has buttons for cruise control, and beyond that is a full set of factory gauges - including the handy tach. It has nice features like power windows, power locks, an upgraded AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth, and provisions for R134a air conditioning (it will need servicing.) Of course, we know your favorite fresh air comes from opening the vent windows and sliding the rear glass. It's the old-school style breeze we all love on these trucks.

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. So this has an everyday kind of appeal. Power steering, power brakes, and front discs make it quite a comfortable cruiser. Plus, the four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly all the way into overdrive.

Value, features, and distinction all come on this flat-faced Ford. So if you're looking for the right mix of work and play, call today!
