A 1994 Ford F-250 XL 4x4 has exactly what you're looking for. After all, it's a lifted long-bed pickup with dual fuel tanks, a useful interior, an overdrive transmission, and a fuel-injected big block V8. It makes for a classic truck that's ready for work or play - and all offered for a value price.
This is what a real truck is all about. After all, we all know the F-250s are the tougher pickups that were made to do more, and this one really loves living up to that expectation. The long bed gives you more capacity; the taller 4x4 stance gives you more go-anywhere ability; and the overall tough pickup look gives you more stature. The white paint keeps with the proper truck attitude where it's complete but far from fancy, and so it will never make you hesitate to get down to real work in this extra-duty F-250. Plus, you've got a ton of handy features, like the top running lights, wide tow mirrors, and a well-done full Rhino Liner bed. So while this generation of the F-Series is a true vintage truck, it's also going to be one of the most useful classics you know.
The interior wants to be both comfortable and durable. You have good fundamentals like nice carpeting, a smooth dash, and an updated bench seat with better individual contouring. Air conditioning, tinted windows, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input for your iPod are good investments that make this more enjoyable. Plus, a tilt steering column helps make the driver's seat feel like a true command position in this lifted F-250.
Under the hood is one of the most desirable options around: Ford's 7.5-liter/460ci V8. This was one of the final years for the famous big block, and so you are at the intersection of cool history and modern fuel-injected versatility. It's unknown if the odometer reflects the truck's full actual mileage, but that's less of a concern. This big block was rebuilt within the last four years. The same goes for the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. It's a pretty good long hauler with a solid feeling on the road, and the rear sway bar even suggests this was outfitted with the camper package for better stability. Part of the long haul comfort also means going farther with the ease of dual fuel tanks. Plus, as an extra-duty F-250, this has a proper two-speed transfer case to deliver exceptional four-wheel-drive control. Add in power steering and power brakes with discs up front, and this is a very useful F-250.
This is a terrific vintage truck that gets the job done. So we bet you're thinking about taking this one everywhere from the ballgame to the boat ramp. But the only way to have fun with this tomorrow is if you call today!
