Sold the F150 today.

Then picked this up, too good of deal to pass up .
1997 4WD Ford F250 Heavy Duty 7.5 liter (460 cu.inch, comes with a Texas oil well deed) XLT,Camper package, "power everything". This will carry an 11 ft. camper on the back along with towing a boat. Only 59,000 miles on it. One owner (old guy) Clean Carfax...blah blah blah

I like that body style a little better than the new trucks. What kind of gas mileage is that 460 getting?

Nice truck, and agree with mini. That has classic lines.

Does it get to park on carpet every nite also?

Yeah, I had a 95 SuperCab in that style; a 302 though. Wasn't pulling anything then!

It'll sure do the job until the boys get too big for the rear jumpseats. With mine, that happened about 8th grade. By then, though, you can find a Crew Cab.

The 460 is a tough motor; 59,000 is barely broke in. And it'll pull a house off it's foundations.

You're ready to ride. Congrats!

Thing looks brand new too... well done.

All it needs is a gunrack and some chrome naked lady mudflaps.

lol raub!

Mini--The engine was a turn off, and a turn on...turn off for the fuel burn rate (10-12 with a camper, 14 without) and turn on for the power, when you rev it, the damn truck feels like its riding up 6 inches, but you can watch the gas guage start reaching for your wallet.

Its going to sit 11 months out of the year, so I'm not concerned on the fuel aspect of it.

Toad, never thought of the "outgrowing" part..hmm, that gives me roughly 7 years...

Eskimo, its always "too much", wherever you buy um.

But I will tell you it was less than $13,000.

Nice truck. I keep trying to convince the house spouse we need one like that to pull the T-bird to car shows. I just can't seem to justify the need to have a fourth vehicle.

She is right I guess.

These words do not please me...

Nice truck and very clean!

I like the truck. The lines do make it look old, but for a camper host? It's perfect. And I like the old looking trucks too.

I really like the Anti- School Crossing speed limits cage on the front.

The handgun post pry saved you 10K. The BBS has it's merits. WTG Ripsnore!
