Why buy this F-150
- Simplicity & durability: the late-’80s Ford F-150 uses time-proven engines (4.9L I6 and Windsor V8s) and straightforward mechanicals that are easy to fix and find parts for. Great for someone who wants a rugged truck without modern electronics. Wikipedia
- Towing & low-end torque: especially with the 5.8L V8 or the diesel options, these trucks have healthy low-rpm torque good for towing and hauling. Wikipedia+1
- Classic / value for restorers: they’re popular among collectors/restorers and can be cheaper to buy and modify than newer pickups. CarGurus

Safety Features For F-150
Safety features (period-typical)
- Driver and passenger frontal airbags: Not standard in many trucks of this era — many 1988 trucks lacked driver airbags as standard; some late-80s models began offering driver airbags in higher trims or starting around this period. (Check the specific VIN/trim.) Wikipedia
- 3-point seat belts (front) and lap belts (rear or optional 3-point depending on config). CarGurus
- Heavy steel frame and simple mechanical brakes (front disc / rear drum) — good structural toughness but limited modern crash protection. Wikipedia
- Optional anti-lock brakes were not common; modern active safety (ESC, modern airbags, traction control) not present. Wikipedia
