The Ford F-150 is the full-size pickup to beat and has remained the best-selling truck in the US for almost 50 years; it’s regularly featured in Overland Journal’s Full Size Truck of the Year awards. It’s also a favorite within the overlanding community with recent offerings including this 2010 STX, 2015 XLT w/ Go Fast Camper XL, and 2023 Tremor w/ Camp King Industries Outback Series Canopy. Further still, the F-150 is ubiquitous, which means there’s a huge community on hand to offer in-person/online assistance and an extensive network of spares to keep your truck moving. Cue today’s 1994 Ford F-150 (Just over 180,000 miles on the chassis), which has been tastefully uprated and boasts a desirable Cummins 4BT engine. These older-gen models are popular amongst travelers for their mechanical simplicity, rugged dependability, timeless styling, and the ability to heavily modify them with aftermarket support.
From the Seller:
“This is a 1994 Ford F-150 long bed, Supercab truck with a Cummins 4BT engine swap. It’s an XL model with factory manual transmission and 4WD. I will be listing on Facebook Marketplace, but would prefer it goes to a good home here. I performed the motor swap and rebuild, and most of the modifications and services during my 15+ years of ownership. I have extensive records of what I’ve done and why. There is a lengthy build thread available as well as an Excel sheet detailing work performed during my ownership. These are available to serious prospective buyers. This is still a project truck, and that is the reason for its sale. Once a project, always a project.”
