Until the late 1990s, full-size pickups were nothing more than workhorses. They offered only the most essential of creature comforts and optional extras, but that’s no longer the case nowadays because increasingly more people buy trucks over SUVs for daily driving.
The 1994 Ford F-250 XLT 4x4 in the photo gallery is pretty much the antithesis of the fourteenth-generation F-Series line of pickups, which has adopted coil-spring rear suspension for the Raptor and independent rear suspension for the all-electric powertrain option. Offered at no reserve with six days of bidding left, the heavy-duty truck has racked up 105,140 miles (169,206 kilometers) on the original chassis and drivetrain.
A two-owner pickup offered with service records, factory literature, a clean title, clean history report, and spare parts, the F-250 is finished in Oxford White over gray cloth. Optioned from the factory with two fuel tanks, a limited-slip rear differential, tiltable steering column, side steps, air conditioning, and cassette stereo, the gentle giant rocks a Flowmaster dual-tipped exhaust and BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A rubber shoes.
Don’t be fooled by the period-correct wheels, though, because 5,000-pound airbag suspension has been fitted at the rear for better ride quality. Internal jounce bumpers prevent bottoming out, and stainless-steel air lines provide extra protection from road debris. Aligned in August 2019, according to the seller, the F-250 received replacement springs and foam for the bench seat in 2018. A trailer brake controller was added in June 2020, the transmission was replaced in 2011 along with the torque converter, the firewall body seams were resealed in May 2017, and the diff was serviced in November 2020.
The previous owner has changed a few bits during his tenure as well.
As per the online listing, he replaced the driver’s door hinge and weather seal, ignition tumbler, and multi-function switch. One of two imperfections that are worthy of your attention is the cracked area on the dash pad but fret not because the sale includes a spare along with passenger-door seal and window gaskets. Elsewhere, the seller notes a cracked exhaust manifold.
Equipped with the big-boy V8 that cranks out 230 horsepower and 400 pound-feet (542 Nm) of torque, this F-250 is currently going for $5,000.
After a 1:43 scale model of a Ferrari 250 GTO sparked Mircea's interest for cars when he was a kid, an early internship at Top Gear sealed his career path. He's most interested in muscle cars and American trucks, but he takes a passing interest in quirky kei cars as well. Full profile
