The body is in overall very good condition with just the usual minor dings, scuffs and scratches you expect on an 8 year old truck. The only issues to note are that the left side of the front bumper has been bent up slightly and that above the left rear wheel opening there are some light dents as if it was scraped against a lightpole. Neither of these cosmetic blemishes stand out enough to have warranted fixing them. The paint is in beautiful condition and this shade of silver just about glows in the sunlight. It has just been cleaned with Meguiar’s Smooth Surface Clay System, polished with Meguiar’s Mirror Glaze cleaner polish and topped off with Meguiar’s Ultimate Synthetic wax for a high gloss shine.
The interior is in nice condition as well with excellent carpet, dash, door panels and headliner. Only the seat fabric shows some dirt which is common to all these F150’s that use this open weave material, but this example is no worse than others with one third the miles. The drivers seat cushion had a small tear that was hand sewn together. The truck doesn‘t appear to have been smoked in. In fact, it’s not even equipped with a lighter. The engine compartment has been fully detailed and is clean enough to eat off of.
Mechanically it runs and drives great as well. Internally the engine is super clean and shows absolutely no sludge and only a light varnish you would find on a 30,000 mile motor. The oil in this truck must have been changed religiously. There is no reason to doubt that it will make it to half a million miles and beyond. The engine pulls strong and feels smooth both at idle, while accelerating and throughout the cruising range and the transmission shifts like it’s supposed to. The steering wheel is on dead center going down the road with no shakes or vibrations at speed, the brakes are firm with no pedal pulsations or pulling to one side when stopping, and the suspension is tight. The A/C blows ice cold. It has a pair of Yokohama Geolandar tires up front with more than half their tread left and a pair of Kelly Springfield Safari tires at the rear with about half the tread remaining. These are all-season M+S tires that combine extended wear with enhanced traction and handling, a smooth comfortable ride and long tread life. Both brands have a super long treadwear rating of 500 so you should easily go another 30,000 miles before shopping for tires. The truck has a good Hankook full size spare tire which also has at least half it’s tread left.
Truck is in the Washington DC area but I could deliver for expenses. $4,995 atikovi@email.com
