This 1996 Ford F-150 XLT Eddie Bauer 4×4 is a regular-cab short-bed pickup finished in dark red over beige cloth upholstery and powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes 16″ aluminum wheels, power accessories, cruise control, air conditioning, and a factory cassette stereo, and modifications consist of KC driving lights, a steering stabilizer bar, a suspension lift, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The truck spent time in Maryland and Connecticut before the seller’s 2016 acquisition, and it now has under 85k miles.
The bodywork is finished in dark red and accented by tan “Eddie Bauer” script on the rear fenders and matching lower cladding. Additional exterior equipment includes chrome windshield trim, bumpers, and mirror caps, as well as aftermarket KC driving lights and dual exhaust outlets.
Aluminum 16” wheels are wrapped with 265/75 Goodyear Wrangler tires that were mounted in October 2019. A Rough Country N2.0 steering stabilizer, aftermarket dampers, and taller springs have been added. The steering gear and power steering hoses were replaced in 2017, and in 2019 the right-front upper and lower ball joints and the rear wheel drums, shoes, lines, and cylinders were replaced.
The interior is upholstered in beige cloth with matching carpets, while woodgrain trim accents the dashboard and door panels. Amenities include a 40/20/40 split-bench seat, electric lumbar adjustment, air conditioning, cruise control, a factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, Eddie Bauer-embroidered floor mats, and power windows, locks, and mirrors.
The replacement multifunction steering wheel frames an 85-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level, voltage, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The digital odometer indicates 85k miles.
The fuel-injected 5.0-liter V8 produced 195 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque when new. Work completed in 2017 included replacing the serpentine belt tensioner and oxygen sensor, and the exhaust manifolds and gaskets were replaced in May 2019. The seller states the oil was most recently changed in April 2021.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and the front and rear prop shafts were replaced in October 2020. The aftermarket exhaust system was repaired in May 2020, and the seller states the bed was removed so that a rubberized undercoating could be applied to the frame.
A leather-wrapped factory book and manufacturer’s literature will accompany the sale.
