When you think of the "Ford F-250" what will usually come to mind for Ford enthusiasts is quality, stability and lots of history. The F-250 has been one of the premier vehicles of the Ford line for over ten years. It is an important truck and the 1998 model is no exception. The Ford F-250 falls into the standard cab pickup for the family category.
In 1999 Ford released the F-250 Lariat to the truck-buying market. The F-250 came in four configurations: XL, XLT, Base, and Lariat. The Lariat configuration is powered by the 5.4-liter eight-cylinder engine, which makes 17 - 18 highway miles and 13 - 14 city. The F-250 competes in the Standard Cab Pickup market segment, in direct competition with Kia.
The 1996 F-250 is an important vehicle to Ford for the standard cab pickup market segment. The XLT is a member of a series of four trim levels for the F-250 which include Special, XL, XLT, and Eddie Bauer. The two-door truck with its four-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Kia.
The restyled F-250 Base is equipped with a Ford 5.4-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The Triton engine is paired with a Ford 4-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.
