You are bidding on a 1995 Ford F-150 four wheel drive pickup, equipped with a 5.0 liter engine and 4-speed automatic transmission. This truck has been in my family for about 10 years now. During that time, we only put about 21,000 miles on her, bringing the total to a bit under 121,000. We rarely drive it, and just don't have use for it anymore at this point in our lives. So, it's for sale.
The good points - the engine is mechanically sound, with even compression, no knocks or ticks, and good oil pressure. It sounds nice and tight, and runs very smooth. There is no smoke, and it doesn't burn any oil. Since I have owned it, it has been fed a diet of synthetic oil exclusively. The water pump was replaced a couple years ago, along with the timing chain, front cover gasket, and front oil seal. New idler pulley bearings were also installed at that time.
The transmission shifts perfectly, and has never had any issues at all. The fluid was changed when I bought the truck, and I haven't touched it since.
The 4WD engages as it should, in the high range. I never used low range, and the linkage is a bit rusty, so it won't go into low range. The buyer will need to clean and lube the linkage if low range is needed. I never used it in 10 years.
The front and rear differentials are tight, and make no noise at all. The suspension is in ok shape - there is a new right front spring mount, and the outer tie rods were replaced last year, along with new power steering hoses. The rear uses leaf springs, and they are in good shape.
The body is in pretty good condition, with the exception of some rust at the top of each rear quarter panels, in the fenderwells, as seen in the pics. The rest of the body is surprisingly sound, for a truck this old.
The interior is worn, but not ripped or damaged. There are a few stains on the carpet, as seen in the pics. Everything works - nothing is broken.
The brake lines from the master cylinder to the rear have all been replaced, along with the front crossover line.
All four tires are new last year, and have less then 1000 miles on them. These alone cost $600.00.
Now for the bad - there is an intermittent "check engine" light that comes on. The local parts store read the code, and said I need an oxygen sensor. I have bad knees, and I'm selling the truck, so I have not replaced the sensor. The buyer will have to do that. As it is, the truck runs fine, once it is fully warmed up. But, during the first 20 minutes or so, it has a pronounced hesitation at part throttle. At full throttle, it runs perfectly. Once it gets hot, the problem goes away.
Also, there is a good amount of surface rust on the frame and underneath. There aren't any holes (other than the fenderwells, as previously mentioned), but it should be addressed by the buyer. Also, the rear gas tank leaks. The front tank was replaced 2 years ago, but now the rear one needs replacement too. They cost around $100.00 new, plus installation. It's a very simple job - plenty of access at the back. And, there is a slow oil leak from the oil pan - the oil pan gasket needs to be replaced. It's not very fast, but until it's fixed, the buyer should check the oil at least once a week.
That's about all I can think of. The brake pads and shoes have a couple years on them, but are fine. The left rear wheel cylinder was replaced a couple years ago too. Email with any questions....
I expect Payment within 7 days. The buyer is responsible for getting the truck out of my driveway within 10 days of auction close. The truck is sold as is, where is. I have tried to be as clear as I can, but if you need to know more, send a question. I'll post the response here, so everyone can see it.

Experts wonder if aluminum F-150 gives Ford a real advantage
Mon, 17 Mar 2014There's no doubt that Ford is taking a risk in producing the body of its upcoming new F-150 pickup truck in aluminum. What is up for debate, however, is whether aluminum was a wise risk to take in the first place. Wards Auto took the opportunity to poll some experts on the subject of aluminum versus steel in the automotive sector, with somewhat unsurprising results.
Richard Schultz, a project consultant at Ducker Worldwide, which bills itself as "a leading aluminum industry consultant (though they also deal in steels), suggests that the potential drawbacks to aluminum - higher costs, lower supply - aren't really impediments to the auto industry's increased acceptance of the lightweight metal.
Similarly, Randall Scheps, global automotive marketing director for Alcoa, a massive aluminum producer, counters claims that aluminum is less safe for vehicle occupants, suggesting that the use of aluminum can actually increase safety as it could potentially allow for larger vehicles with more crush space than steel.
Ford won't be releasing GT500 lap times for the 'Ring, or any other car
Wed, 27 Nov 2013Trucks have towing capacity, EVs have driving range and performance cars have Nürburgring lap times. What do all three have in common? They should all be taken with a grain of salt. Currently, there is no sanctioned way to record lap times or verify production-spec cars - a lesson we recently learned with the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo - and until there is a way to do so (and there probably never will be), we'll never officially know the actual time it took for Ford to lap the 'Ring with its ultra-powerful Shelby GT500.
After posting a Ford-made video of a 2013 GT500 running around the 'Ring, the guys over at SVTPerformance.com (an enthusiasts forum not affiliated with Ford or SVT) wanted more answers. They got in touch with Ford's Global Performance Vehicle Chief Engineer Jamal Hameedi, who said until there is a way to verify the times and inspect the cars, Ford will not get involved with lap-time wars. In the email, Hameedi pointed out that the 'Ring is a useful tool in that it allows a wide spectrum of track conditions, but until there is a governed way to record times, there is no way to accurately compare cars head-to-head.
And as much as some may not like it, Hameedi speaks the truth. It really isn't possible to compare times from one car to another, unless those cars were lapping the same track at the same time with the same driver. Not that any of this means there won't be continuous wars by fans and manufacturers alike... in other words, feel free to voice your opinions in the Comments below.
