Reliable 5.0L V8/AOD Auto/Work Ready Rig/Nicely Optioned/Classic Ford Lines

1990 Ford F150 XLT Lariat Long Bed Pickup

The F-150 moniker debuted for the 1975 model year, as the name for Ford’s half ton pickup which slotted between the lighter duty F-100 and the heavier-duty F-250. Massive popularity soon ensued. The Ford F-Series has been not only the best selling pickup for an astounding 49 consecutive years. In total, more than 32 million F150’s were produced in 1990, more than 400,000 were sold.

For consignment, a 1990 Ford F150 XLT Lariat long bed pickup truck showing 43,595 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This was the era of the refined square body design, boxy by choice and still considered utilitarian in philosophy of use.

Exterior
Dark Chestnut Metallic covers the steel panels of this pickup on its uppers and lowers, sandwiching a tan band in the center immediately rendering it period notable and now, classic. Flush, square headlights lead the way and these flank a horizontal grille, simple and utilitarian in its design, while large mirrors hang off the sides of the doors. The bed walls have diamond steel plates for strength and likely grip, while the bed itself shows some use which you’ll be able to view from the sliding rear window. 15-inch steel wheels carry 235/75R15 tires on front and back. This well loved truck shows some overall general patina, fading paint, chips, blistering, scuffs, rust over the rear wheel arches, surface rust on the roof along with some pitting. The chrome bumpers are in great shape.

Interior
Refreshingly 80’s/90’s, the door panels combine a plaid cloth insert, colored switchgear, molded plastic, and a carpeted lower with integrated storage bin, both showing some light wear but in overall good shape. The driver’s side of the cloth bench has seen better days as there are stains and a tear, but the remaining stretch and tuck away armrest are in nice condition. A standard steering wheel with some thumb controls fronts a simple gauge cluster framed in simulated burlwood plastic which goes on to frame the center box housing the A/C panel and AM/FM/Cassette radio. The saddle dash pad has some cracks at the mounting points but is otherwise intact. Gold carpet covers the floor with evidence of work.

Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 5.0 liter V8 with electronic fuel injection and 185 horsepower. It’s mated to an AOD 4-speed automatic transmission routing power to the Ford 8.8” with 3.55 gears. The bay presents in clean, serviceable condition.

Undercarriage
And speaking of work, underneath tells the story of a truck that was driven, as advanced surface rust is prevalent but nothing invasive or structural. A single exhaust runs through a stock style muffler and exits behind the rear wheel. Power disc brakes are found up front with power drums in the back and suspension consists of coil springs with radius arms up front and leaf springs in the back.

Drive-Ability
We hop up into this old Ford and put the column shifter in Drive and head out to the test loop. We get a check engine light and the truck occasionally stumbles and runs rough. In addition, the power locks don’t work and there are exhaust leaks and a rusted muffler. All other functions on this brown box work as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Here in our fair, rural community of Morgantown, PA, trucks of this vintage still run around and do the work. But in more urban environments, they are rare as the day is long, and this patina-laden truck is beautifully vintage. It also has decent bones that vie for restoration candidacy. That will be up to you and your new F150!
