Overland Classifieds :: 2009 Ford F-250 FX4 Off-Road

Ford’s F-Series lineup remains the best-selling full-size trucks in the US by a considerable margin, and it’s not hard to see why. In fact, the F-250 Tremor was awarded Overland Journal’s Editor’s Choice Award in this year’s Overland Full-Size Truck of the Year category. The team wrote that the F-250 eclipsed the competition because “it delivers on everything we need a full-size truck to be: capable and durable, with the payload to haul any reasonable overland load or camper.” The 2009 model is no exception, showcasing a powerful diesel motor, 2,595-pound payload, a 10,500-pound max towing capacity, and excellent all-terrain performance, thanks to Ford’s FX4 Off-Road Package (detailed below). It’s no surprise that this platform is a popular option for adventure-ready builds on our forum, with recent examples including this 2022 Lariat Tremor with FWC Flatbed Hawk, 2021 Tremor with OEV Camp-X, and 2003 with Overland Explorer Camper. If you’d like to see how this vehicle can be outfitted for travel, check out these F-250 builds by Jon Burtt and Basil Lynch. Today’s low-mileage (42,000 miles) 2009 example showcases the desirable FX4 Package and premium aftermarket modifications and is offered with a 2017 Four Wheel Campers Hawk for an additional cost. 

From the Seller:

I think it’s time to part with my build for the last year. [I] decided to change direction with my setup for travel (back to the Airstream). It’s worth noting that I have a 2017 Hawk camper that I might be willing to sell as a package. ”
