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.

The fourteenth generation of the Ford F-150 was introduced in 2021, and remains the current one on sale. There are several variants, including the Raptor and Lightning, but this particular truck is a little different. You see, it’s a 2021 Ford F-150 Shelby which, as the last part of its name suggests, has received tuning by Shelby American, the company founded by the legendary Carroll Shelby. Yes, Shelby didn’t only tune Mustangs; he turned his attention to other Ford models, and after his demise, the company continues that fine legacy. So, just how potent is this machine? Well, how does 950 horsepower grab you? We’d say that it grabs you very strongly indeed. If you’d like to own this fearsome beast, it’s up for sale in Torrance with a mere 47,521 miles on it so far.
The Ford F-150, part of Ford’s venerable F-Series family is probably America’s most well-known half-ton pickup truck. The F-Series itself has been around since 1948 and is now in its fourteenth generation. Today’s 2003 Ford F-150 Lightning Harley Davidson Edition comes from the tenth generation of this popular truck series and as the name suggests, is the performance derivative. But wait, there’s more. The Harley Davidson name indicates that this is a special edition that Ford did in conjunction with this iconic American motorcycle manufacturer, making this Utah-based truck eve more desirable. It’s done just 36,500 miles so far, and packs a supercharged V8 too! Quick, get it while you still can.
This 2022 Ford F-150 Shelby is a hand-built performance truck that merges Ford’s trusted engineering with Shelby American’s legendary tuning expertise. Starting life as a fully equipped Lariat 4x4 SuperCrew powered by the 5.0L Coyote V8, it is then transformed by Shelby American in partnership with Tuscany Automotive. The result is a high-performance pickup that delivers both exceptional on-road refinement and off-road capability. Each truck receives a numbered Shelby Registry plaque, ensuring authenticity and exclusivity. Priced at over $122,000, it stands as one of the most premium interpretations of the modern F-150 platform.
The Ford Thunderbird was made between 1955 and 1997 across ten generations, and redefined the Personal Luxury Car for Americans. In fact, it created the segment, largely inspired by the Grand Tourers of Europe. So, in the 2000s, Ford was feeling a little misty eyed and decided to create a rose-tinted eleventh generation homage to this iconic nameplate. Enter the retro-modern Thunderbird that was made between 2002 and 2005. Styled by Jack Telnack, the car sat on the Ford DEW98 platform, used an engine from Jaguar (who Ford owned at the time), and marked a return to roots of sorts, in that it was a two-seater, just like the first generation. Over 68,000 examples were made, and we have one for sale. Say hello to this original owner, all-stock 2002 Ford Thunderbird from South Jordan, Utah, that’s got just 13,085 miles on the clock.
The famous Ford F-Series was born in 1948, as America was emerging into a post-war world of promise and prosperity. Now in the fourteenth generation, the F-Series has got to be the world’s longest-running truck series, if not one of the longest. Today, the F-150 is the most popular variant as the half-tonner, but if we look at the first generation, the range simply started with the F-1 as the half-ton variant. That’s what we have here, a 1950 Ford F-1 Restomod from Groveport, Ohio. It’s received a thorough makeover with a 350ci V8 under the hood, an automatic gearbox, a converted 12-volt electrical system and more. If you want to own a classic Ford truck that you can actually enjoy driving, this 78,000-mile machine is your best option.
If you want a classic pony car that’s plentiful, easy to maintain and cuts a fine dash wherever you take it, choose a first-generation Ford Mustang. Produced between 1964 and 1973, a couple of million were made, basically. Three body styles were available, and did you know that the famous fastback was officially called the SportsRoof? Yes, that’s what we have for sale today, a rather unique 1969 Ford Mustang Restomod for sale from Royse City, Texas. It’s got a 5.2-liter Coyote Aluminator V8 under the hood, hooked up to a five-speed Tremec box and a Currie rear end. Yes, this pony has received a significant shot in the arm, or several. With just 155 miles since its makeover, it’s now ready for a new owner.

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!
