1991 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat

Description

This is the kind of truck you get to enjoy today and watch the admiration rapidly appreciate. After all, this 1991 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat is a loaded pickup that's still ready to take its fuel-injected V8 to work. But this one is also starting to get those long stares of admiration that remind people of when they first saw these flat-faced workhorses.

Here's an interesting dilemma. We saw plenty of these F-150s on the road a quarter century ago. The tough-guy square styling really resonated with pickup people. The problem is that today there are not too many of these icons around that haven't seen a hard life. However, this is a one-owner truck that shows it was really given the right respect. The body panels retain their crisp style where you can clearly see the truck's full-length crease. And the premium XLT Lariat trim package gives you nice brightwork with the chrome bummers, bright tailgate insert, and full-length trim. The red paint appears to be original. It's not perfect, but it has the kind complete and uniform presentation that makes it still look good today. And items like the towing mirrors and thick rubber bed mat mean this classic still knows how to get to work.

Inside is Ford's upscale XLT Lariat interior. It includes features like red velour on the seats for comfort, and some wood-like trim on the dash to give it a more luxurious feel. There's a fold-down center armrest so you can decide if you want to carry two friends, or have a more individual level of comfort. Regardless of how many people are inside, this is quite a luxurious experience. Power windows, power locks, and the factory AM/FM/cassette make this a great modern classic. The original factory steering wheel gives a clear view to the full set of factory gauges, including optional tach. The air conditioning is blowing nice and cold, but we really know your favorite breezes will be the ones created when you open the side vent windows and slide the rear glass. It's all part of the vintage truck experience.

Under the hood is a quite stock 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, so it's a well-maintained package that starts readily, idles smoothly, and runs strong. Power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and modern tires make it quite a comfortable cruiser. Plus, the four-speed automatic transmission has highway-friendly overdrive. Add in the cruise control and dual fuel tanks, and this one really loves to go the extra mile.

This lives up to the respected standard we expect from a one-owner truck. It makes for the kind of deal where you know you've found something special. Call today!!!
