One-Family-Owned 1985 Ford F-150 4x4

Description

The Ford F-150 has been America's workhorse for generations, holding the title of the nation's best-selling pick up for almost 50 years. While the model has seen over a dozen iterations during that time, the seventh generation (produced between 1980-1986) was particularly notable, as it featured the first ground-up model overhaul since 1965. Built using new twin I-beam construction, the redesigned seventh-generation's underpinnings would go on to be the foundation underneath F-series trucks for almost 20 years.

This 1985 Ford F-150 4x4 was sold new at Bear Ford in Plymouth, Pennsylvania to the seller's cousin. After over four decades in their family's care, the seller inherited the truck earlier in 2026. Finished in Light Canyon Red, it features a fuel-injected 5.0L V8 under the hood, powering a 4-speed automatic transmission and dual-range transfer case. Inside, the truck features a reupholstered bench seat from a 1987 F-150 and a later-model AM/FM stereo radio. The seller states that the water pump and valve cover gaskets were replaced in preparation for sale, along with additional service items detailed below.

This 1985 Ford F-150 4x4 is now offered with delivery documentation, an owner's manual, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller's name.
