Description

This is the right time to get excited. This 2008 Ford F-150 Saleen S331 Sport Truck is a supercharged 450-horsepower juggernaut that has a mean-as-midnight look but a nice and comfy loaded interior. And you know that when a truck like this has it all, it's rarely available for such an affordable price.

Saleen cars are always both extra sporty and extra rare, and so the same goes for the trucks, too. In fact, this is #10 of the 400 that were offered this year. The look is very much on-brand with Saleen where the special grille, vented hood, form-hugging body kit, rocker graphics, and tailgate insert all look inspired by pieces from similar places on a Saleen SC Mustang. And both the front bumper and rear valance look like the S7 supercar had a pickup sibling. It has a full midnight style that's quite attractive, especially because all that darkness makes the special 23-inch polished alloys pop even more. It's a well-kept two-owner truck, but you will see signs of responsible enjoyment. But that's kind of what you really want. A pickup that has this level of power while still retaining its utility would be wasted as a pure museum piece.

2008 was an important year for power trucks. It was only the second year of the S331 Sport Truck, and it was the first time it was offered with the SuperCrew. All that extra interior space makes this more practical and will likely keep it even more desirable as it becomes an appreciated classic. The interior shows off more of just how well-respected this truck has been. It starts with the excellent condition of the special seats. You have well-bolstered supple leather buckets up front with comfy suede-like inserts and the Saleen logo stitched in the headrest. The door panels and rear seats also coordinate. There's a long list of features like a power driver's seat, power windows, cruise control, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power steering, power mirrors, tilt/telescopic steering column, dual airbags, and cold-blowing air conditioning. The radio is now a modern infotainment touchscreen with AM/FM/CD/XM, Bluetooth, and a backup camera. And just in case you forget for a moment how special your truck is, there is a Saleen numbered plaque on the center console.

There's plenty to look at in the engine bay. The 5.4-liter Triton is a powerhouse that's from the same Modular V8 family as cars like the Mustang GT, and so it's a natural fit for Saleen upgrading. The centerpiece is a Saleen Series VI twin-screw supercharger, and a respected company like Saleen also upgrades the full package to make sure it's both durable and powerful. So this truck knows how to handle its 450 hp and 500 lb-ft of torque. In fact, the suspension is also upgraded with RaceCraft equipment, including performance struts, springs, a thick front sway bar, and an upgraded four-wheel disc brake package. Plus, Ford's four-speed automatic transmission is a stout unit that also knows how to provide easy overdrive cruising. That kind of versatility is welcomed in this sports truck with everyday appeal.

Complete with the owner's manual, this is the rare and distinct supercharged pickup that you never knew could be so affordable. That's why you know this deal will be gone soon. Call today!!!
