This 1995 F-250 was built as a simplified alternative to a Sprinter van I owned prior, offering similar fuel economy, superior 4x4 capability, and the legendary reliability of the 7.3-liter turbo diesel engine. I've owned this truck for nearly four years now, and it has never let me down. It’s by far the most reliable vehicle I've owned. The truck is in excellent condition, having spent most of its life under the care of the original owner with meticulous maintenance records. It has never left me stranded and performs reliably under any condition. Its rustic and timeless appearance is sure to turn heads as you cruise down the highway.

Cons and Clarifications:

Rebuilt Title: The truck has a rebuilt title brand due to a previous accident. Despite this, it shows no signs of previous damage and drives straight as an arrow with no frame damage. The accident has been fully repaired and does not affect the truck. This is simply due to the amazing insurance companies and their ability to come up with accurate repair estimates (sarcasm alert).
Clear Coat Failure: There is some clear coat failure on the hood, cab roof, and bedsides.

Despite these cons, the pros greatly out weigh them. It is a near-immaculate truck and truly awesome. In the spirit of transparency, I've linked the VIN report of this vehicle. This truck was built out for my personal use, and I've used it extensively. As my camping adventures grow, I've upgraded to a new truck with a larger camper to accommodate more time on the road. I'm dedicated to transparency and integrity throughout this sale. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a viewing, please don't hesitate to reach out.
