1997 F-150 XLT Supercab 2WD

  • 73,666 original miles.
  • 4.2L v6 5spd

 

I bought this truck from my dad to put around in this winter but now that I bought the Saab I have no need for it. Truck has had brakes, tie rod ends, ball joints, and pitman arm done in the last 500 miles by my father who has been a mechanic for 40 some odd years. I had to put a new fuel pump in it about 2 months ago. Truck runs great and starts every time. Clutch/trans are in perfect working order.

 

Good:

  • 73k original miles, clean title, never been in an accident.
  • "New" used all season tired with about 95% tread life left.
  • Interior is very clean, has rubber bedliner.

 

 

Bad:

  • Needs a rear windshield put in it ($240 for the slider through safelite)
  • Has typical F-150 cancer.
  • The plastic threading for the shift knob cracked (knob wont stay on, will throw in the least cheasiest shift knob i can find)
  • Needs a driver side window motor (will be buying and putting the new window motor in this upcoming weekend)
  • I took the radio out since the rear windshield is out of it and managed to lose the aftermarket radio (will be picking up a new mounting kit and including a pioneer cd mp3 head unit w/ detatchable face plate)
  • Has not had the recall done for the tank straps (currently held in place with 1 factory strap that is good and 1 ratchet strap, I have a new set of tank straps on order at advanced)

What is the tow rating?

-Marc

 

Edmunds and all other specs I can find online says 7500lbs. I will double check on the door sticker/owners manual when i get home. My dad originally bought this truck to tow his boat around but he ended up getting rid of his boat. It does have a reese hitch on it.

I was cleaning out the garage and tossed a metal bracket in the bed, bounced off the bed and straight through the rear windshield. I was originally going to buy one out of a junkyard but decided not too since i've never done a windshield before. Safelite quoted me $230 for a slider installed (came with a 1 piece window)

 

I almost forgot i've got a matching fiberglass tonneau cover sitting in the shed for it
