DOES SANTA NEED A NEW SLEIGH? This F250 is, in my opinion, as close to achieving time travel as you can get. It's like going back fifteen years and buying that '97 pick-up you always wished you had purchased off the showroom floor. No Known body work issues. It's interior, and exterior body, are nearly showroom quality. I just purchased it from the original owner. It is a garaged, one owner, vehicle that has been babied since new. It had seat covers installed when purchased that have just been removed to reveal seats in like new condition. Dash was covered and is perfect with no hint of exposure issues or cracking. It just passed safety inspection and emissions without any issues. It just had a front end alignment without any issues. The factory paint is awesome.(Perma plate paint protection coating applied when new) A couple of nicks maybe that a dot of touch up would handle but you would have to look real hard for them.. This truck is the top of the line XLT Lariat edition with glossy Toreador red paint. It has a smooth running automatic transmission and the legendary 460 power plant under the hood. It has the 4.10 limited slip rear end, the camper package and a great alarm system. Power windows, power locks, air conditioning, cruise control, tilt wheel, remote keyless entry with two fobs.. It has the OEM forged aluminum wheels with end caps in great shape. It has a new,high end,checkered aluminum tool box. The trailer plug is tucked behind the rear bumper and has probably never even been used. The bed has a spray-on bed lining that looks like brand new free from damage. (There are two small blemishes on each side of the bed rails where it appears that a tool box once rested.) I have attempted to capture the pristine condition of this vehicle in the pictures but am not sure I did it justice. It drives like new. I take extremely good care of all of my vehicles and admire people who do the same. That said, I have yet to see a 15 year old truck in this condition unless it was purchased and stored when practically new. This one has been driven sparingly, but regularly, which has kept fluids circulating and seals in good shape. The under side reveals the fact that it has been driven over the years and is rust free and logged just over 42k miles. Most of these were highway miles on the open road. Glass is excellent. Carpets are excellent. I just can't say enough about the fine condition this truck is in. It is classy and unique. It is in better shape than the majority of trucks are that are one year old, let alone 15. If you are seriously in the market for an old school but extremely capable truck that will turn heads then I think you may have found what you are looking for. Thanks for looking!
