I don’t know, you might tell us differently in the comments, but this is the kind of truck that’ll have even the Chevy people looking. Vintage Chariots is selling this immaculate 1996 Ford F-250 4x4 XLT with 171,000 miles and a bevy of options and upgrades for just $29,500.
How can you not be obsessed with 9th generation F-Series trucks, especially ones powered by the 7.3L direct injection turbo diesel Power Stroke V8? You can’t. This one’s going to sell in a hurry, so act fast.
The Vaunted 9th Generation Power Stroke Diesel F-250
The ninth generation of the Ford F-Series is a lineup of trucks that were offered starting in 1992 and ending (unfortunately) in the 1998 model year. It was based on the chassis from the eighth generation, but was known for its improvements of the exterior, including a completely redesigned and much more aerodynamic front end. Because truck people love to name stuff, the 9th generation Ford F-Series is known as “Aeronose” and to some as “OBS,” or old body style.
The F-250 was based on the 3/4 ton chassis, whereas the less heavy-duty F-150 was based on the 1/2 ton chassis. The two resembled each other quite a bit, but the F-250 featured a much heavier-duty front and rear floating axles, 8-lug wheels, and heavier springs. Plus, you could option it with the ginormous Power Stroke turbo diesel V8.
9th gen prices are on their way up as collectors get wise to how insanely awesome they are. To that end, the Classic.com 1-year rolling average sale price has gone up just a tick under 20% in the last 12 months.
