Vehicle Description
This 1987 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat 4x4 is coming off of long-term
ownership. So what you're looking at is the kind of well-respected
vintage style that also happens to have a fuel-injected V8 under
the hood.
This does the idea of a modern classic right. After all, the
two-tone red and white is the kind of thing we love on a
1950s-style truck, and so it still looks attractive on something
more modern and muscular. As a premium Lariat, Ford made sure to
cleanly divide these two colors using nice trim and even a
pinstripe around the cab. This is the factory application, and it
wears its originality with pride. So while it's not perfect, it
does retain a nice gloss, looks complete, and has a well-defended
distinction that's ready to tell stories. And speaking of stories,
this has spent most of its life under the same owner, and so that's
how you get a respected original truck with straight sheetmetal
over three decades later. But just because this one has matured
into a cool personality doesn't mean it has stopped being as handy
as a best friend. You have dual fuel tanks, wide trailing mirrors,
a hitch on the rear step bumper, and the bed has a ready-to-work
appearance.
There's plenty more red inside. Just like the exterior, this has a
highly original and well-respected appearance. The interior
advantage of a premium Lariat starts with a velour seat that has
nice bolstering for individual-style comfort, and when you don't
need to sit three across, there's even a fold-down cup holder
armrest. There are plenty of features like power locks, cruise
control, a tilt steering column, and the factory AM/FM/cassette
stereo. There are side vent windows and the optional sliding rear
glass, so it's easy to get the kind of breezes through the cab that
only a classic truck can provide. And if that's not enough this
also has provisions for factory air conditioning (will need
servicing to blow cold again.)
Under the hood is Ford's famous 5.0-liter V8. This is from the
fuel-injections years, and so you have the legendary stout
construction and the best in trustworthy power delivery. And since
this has spent most of its time under the same owner, it's hard to
believe this is anything but the original powerplant. A
well-respected life also means the right investments along the way.
You see it here in the fundamentals like the newer hoses, wires,
plugs, and even some new bushings. The V8 fires up readily, and it
produces a nice sound out of the header-fed dual exhaust. This
makes plenty of power, and so it's great to have the two-speed 4x4
transfer case for true go-anywhere ability. But you don't need to
go off road to enjoy this F-150, because it has easy everyday
driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and new Firestone
tires.
This F-150 sits at the intersection of daily usability and vintage
appeal. It's a true modern classic 4x4, and it's waiting for you.
