23k-Mile 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat

Description

The 1989 Ford F-150 Lariat represented the pinnacle of Ford’s ninth-generation F-Series pickups, combining rugged utility with upscale features. Built on a platform introduced in 1987, the 1989 model continued Ford’s tradition of innovation and reliability. The Lariat trim was the most luxurious offering, featuring upgraded interior materials, woodgrain accents, and optional power accessories that catered to buyers seeking comfort without sacrificing capability.

This 1989 Ford F-150 Lariat is a remarkably low-mileage example showing less than 23,000 original miles. Driven sparingly throughout its life, this Regular Cab two-wheel drive example was reportedly parked in storage in 2015 before being acquired by the seller in 2025. Finished in black over a gray cloth interior, this F-150 is powered by a fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. It features an extensive list of factory comfort and convenience options as detailed below.

This low-mileage 1989 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat is now offered with a clean CARFAX history report and a clean Michigan title in the seller's name.
