Ford’s popular F-150 is well regarded as the best half-ton pickup truck around. A member of the F-Series lineage, it has been providing dependable and utilitarian transport to enterprising Americans for decades. In many cases, an F-Series pickup truck is the sole vehicle for a small business owner, and used for commercial, as well as family transport purposes. So, as you can imagine, the F-Series is one of America’s best-sellers, and an immensely loved nameplate. This particular 1985 Ford F-150 Lariat Explorer comes from the seventh generation, which ran between 1979 and 1986. With a reportedly original 93,062 miles on the clock, it’s received a recent servicing as well, to keep it running smoothly. So why not buy this truck and make it your weekend runner?
This 1985 Ford F-150 Lariat Explorer wears a quirky two-tone paint job of red and white. This gives the truck a cheerful appearance, belying the traditional train of thought that pickup trucks have to look boring. Furthermore, this truck also gets shiny hubcaps and whitewall tires for a classic appearance. Heading further back, the truck bed is in great condition as well. The interior of this 1985 Ford F-150 Lariat Explorer is in similarly great condition to the exterior. You can tell that this is a fairly upmarket trim, since it’s an XLT Lariat. You’ve got power windows, power door locks, air conditioning, and a push-button radio. The gauge cluster even includes a tachometer, which was a rarity in pickup trucks those days. We’re told that the air con is fully functioning, so you can enjoy plenty of cool air from it when driving on hot days. So sit back, enjoy the plush seats, and take a drive down to the Eighties.
Under the hood of this 1985 Ford F-150 Lariat Explorer lies a 5.8L small-block V8 that should put out over 200hp and 300lb-ft. The truck is rear-wheel drive, and features a 4-speed automatic transmission for an easy driving experience. The current owner also says that it’s rocking a new exhaust system, so you’ll enjoy calmness when cruising, but still hear that iconic V8 engine note when pressing on.

Present today is this 2025 Ford F-150 Raptor R. This performance truck hails from Virginia Beach, Virginia, and has a reported 9,050 miles on its clock.

What if we told you that Chevy made a coupe utility – basically a coupe styled pickup truck, stuck a V8 under the hood, and gave it a retractable hardtop for the passenger cabin for an extra measure of craziness? Yes, that’s precisely what the GM engineers did with the SSR. Produced between 2003 and 2006, just 24,112 units were sold to the public. Today, the SSR represents a curio that’s a sure-fire future classic, but also an example of what happens when you give automotive engineers and designers free reign to create something truly unique. This 2005 Chevrolet SSR is up for grabs in Lancaster, with a decent 128,000 miles on the clock. It’s a great choice for anyone seeking an SSR, because in 2005, the model got an upgraded 6.0-liter LS2 V8 that had 90hp more than the 5.3-liter unit installed for 2003 through 2004 units. This vehicle has that, plus a set of staggered painted aluminum wheels, and automatic gearbox, and infinite quirkiness.
The most popular pickup truck in the United States, Ford’s famous F-150 has been selling like the proverbial hot cakes for decades! This full-size pickup truck is a half-tonner and marks the entry point for Ford’s F-Series line-up. The F-Series itself is something of an icon, being around since 1948 and now in its fourteenth generation. Hence, you can easily find yourself an F-Series, be it a classic or one of the latest examples. Today’s 2024 Ford F-150 STX is of the latter flavor, and has done under 12,000 miles so far. It’s got an RK splitter, some tasty 22-inch wheels, a color-matched grille and, naturally, a V8 under the hood. If you’re in search of a family-friendly but capable pickup truck with some style and smooth looks, this is a great choice to consider.
Chevy’s quirky retro-styled convertible pickup truck experiment, the SSR was made for just three short years, between 2003 and 2006. Inspired by Chevy’s Advanced Design trucks of the 1940s, the SSR was intended to be a sort of modern hot rod. However, just 24,112 were sold, which wasn’t quite up to the figures that Chevy intended. The uptick of that is, today, SSRs are becoming sought after. That’s why you shouldn’t wait long to snap up this 2005 Chevrolet SSR from Kentucky if it catches your fancy. With its black leather interior, aftermarket Bluetooth radio from JVC and wood strips in the cargo be, this hot-rod pickup truck has done a scant 7,300 miles!
