1997 Ford F250 HD 4-Door - 2/4 wheel drive hunting truck. 176,907 miles $6,400. 460 cubic engine (7.5L) and automatic transmission with 4 wheel shift on the floor. No oil leaks, no transmission leaks. Been in my driveway for years and no oil stains of any kind from this vehicle. OBD1 diagnostic system. Cloth bench seats. BF Goodrich All Terrain tires (load range E) are in very good condition and have less than 8,000 miles on them… many of those miles are on dirt roads. Spare is in very good condition. Motorcraft battery - 6 months old. Front shocks changed in 2021. New radiator installed in 2018. New Transmission in 2014. I replaced front and rear tanks back in 2011. The weather stripping around front and back doors was replaced 2 years ago. This included felt stripping around driver door and passenger door glass. Kilmat sound deadening installed under rubber floor liner to reduce road noise.
Truck was Rhino coated years ago as shown. High rack is heavy duty and ladder is designed to make it easy & safe to get up and down from high rack. Corn feeder box shown in photos is staying with the truck and is mounted on a swing out gate so it is out of the way to open tailgate (see photos) Pole winch on the back for picking up deer/hogs (see photos). Vehicle has 2 toolboxes pictured (no keys).

I bought this truck from someone I knew very well 10 years ago and it was well maintained prior to me buying it. I use it primarily to go to/from my deer lease 3 hours into Mexico so 9 hours one way. Everything works and vehicle has been well maintained since I rely on it to get me to the ranch and back to the U.S. I typically make 3-4 trips to our lease per year. I also drive the vehicle to our offices or 1-2 times a month to keep everything running and lubricated. I put about 6000 miles a year on this vehicle. Since I drive in/out of remote areas I carry a spare starter, spare CPU, spare fuel pump, etc. All spare components are going with the truck. There is also a heavy duty hitch mount gas carrier I made that holds hold 4 speed cans of gas.
Reliability has been my top priority for going to Mexico. Getting off my Mexico lease after 21 years so I am going to let it go. I do 99.9% of the maintenance on the truck but for any repairs beyond my capability I use LaRue Automotive off Beltway 8/Hwy 90, close to Stafford, TX.

Truck is at my house off not far off Crabb River Road in Richmond, TX. Any questions please let me know.
