Used 1988 Ford F-150 for Sale near Indianapolis, IN
Fuel-injection mania swept the F-Series in 1988; as of this year, carburetors were discontinued for this line entirely. The 1988 Ford F-150 came off the line with fuel-injected 5.0 liter Windsor V-8 engines, 4.9 liter straight-six with fuel injection, and the whopping International Harvester 7.3 liter diesel V8.
The 88 Ford F150 was the first to ship with a five-speed manual transmission, which improved the pickup's off-road versatility. Automatic transmission also came as a standard choice.
Trim lines for the 1988 Ford F150 were the XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat. Extended-cab supercab and 2-door cab setups, as well as short-bed and long-bed models, added to the variety offered to buyers of the 88 Ford F-150. The solid durability and reliability of this workhouse truck made it a great choice for farm and ranch; its rugged 4-wheel drive lent it popularity with off-roaders. Tuners especially love the solidity of this classic muscle truck.
You'll have to trade off fuel efficiency for size and power with the 1988 F-150, though; best-case scenario for mileage would be 18 highway, 14 city.
4.5 Overall rating
(35 reviews)A Tank and just as reliable. Performance: As good as a naturally aspirated inline 6, 4.9L, is gonna get with 4 tons of truck to pull. Build Quality:PERFECT. 21 years later she hasn't needed a thing. Appearance: It's 21 years old man, plus its got that standard ford fade. Cost of ownership: Gas Mileage, 10 mpg... Insurance, dirt cheap. Fun Factor: You can go anywhere in it, I love owning the road with my beast. She's light enough to maneuver reasonably well and with 31" worth of offroad tire no parking space is inaccessible.
love this truck will definatley be keeping this one has great performance quick accerlation and great stopping power no squeals even from the power steering pump this truck is awesome to drive even puting in through the worst mud it has the balls to make it through
Performance - Gobs of Torque Build - It is a very sturdy frame, however, the body panels are easily damaged, and it does not stand up well to rust. -Terrible Gas Mileage Fun Factor - 'Tis great to take mudding, and trail riding, though it is a bit expensive to drive on the road...
performance-blow your doors off. build quality-strong as hell and you cant kill a straight 6 . appearance-its an 88 what do you want? cost-$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ sink hole in gas but you pay very little fixing problems with it!! fun factor- anywhere you want to go....and i mean anywhere
After being owned for nearly 21 yrs the build quality and durability has been very good and parts are still readily available from most parts outlets and the aftermarket. I've driven all of the newer models and they are much better than what I have, but I wonder how well they will hold up 10,15, 20 yrs down the road. My only gripe with it is lack of power even though I have upgraded the engine some (MAF conversion, headers, exhaust). I kinda wish it had the 351W when I tow heavy loads so I make the best with what I have. Gas mileage isn't that great 13-15 mpg at best.
