With just 53k original miles, a dealer-installed Whipple-supercharged 6.8L Triton V10, and a purpose-built custom steel camper shell, this 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT is the kind of old-school Super Duty build you rarely see anymore. Offered by a private seller in Santa Ana, California, this clean, low-mileage crew cab combines desert-runner attitude with overland functionality thanks to hydraulic steering, fresh 4.88 gears, a rebuilt heavy-duty transmission, custom driveshaft, and new 37-inch tires. Finished in fresh white paint and topped with a lightweight all-steel Caravan camper shell, this smog-compliant California truck is built to haul, camp, and crush highway miles in equal measure.
- Super-Duty Icon: Ford’s early-2000s Super Duty trucks helped redefine the heavy-duty pickup segment with oversized proportions, serious towing capability, and bulletproof drivetrain options. Powered by the uncommon 6.8L Triton V10, this 2003 F-250 delivers big-block-style torque and unmistakable sound, while the low production numbers of modified V10 trucks make builds like this increasingly hard to duplicate today.
- Whippled V10 Power: Under the hood is Ford’s 6.8L SOHC Triton V10 paired with a dealer-installed Whipple supercharger for substantially increased power and torque over stock. Supporting upgrades include hydraulic steering, fresh 4.88 gears, a custom driveshaft, and a rebuilt heavy-duty transmission, creating a drivetrain package designed to confidently turn 37-inch tires both on- and off-road.
- Desert-Runner Presence: Fresh white paint, aggressive stance, and blacked-out trim give this Super Duty a clean, functional look without going over the top. The lightweight all-steel Caravan camper shell adds serious utility and expedition appeal, while LED lighting throughout, oversized off-road tires, and the bed-mounted spare reinforce the truck’s ready-for-anything personality.
- Built For Adventure: Inside, the spacious crew cab configuration offers room for passengers, gear, and long-distance comfort. Tinted windows, elevated ride height, and the integrated camper shell setup make this an ideal platform for desert travel, Baja-style exploration, overland use, or tow-rig duties with far more personality than a modern HD truck.
- Low-Mile CA/AZ Truck: According to the attached CARFAX, this F-250 shows just 52,982 original miles, no accidents or damage reported, three previous owners, and long-term ownership history in California and Arizona. The report also documents recent transmission service and rebuild work, emissions compliance, and consistent low annual mileage throughout its life.
