Description
Up for sale is a unique project—a 2004 Ford F-150 Heritage XL with over 225,000 miles. This truck is a special piece of Ford history and perfect for the enthusiast shade tree or professional mechanic looking for a rewarding winter project!
Why the Heritage XL is Special:
• Last of a Classic Era: The "Heritage Edition" was a limited tribute to the beloved 1997-2003 F-150 generation. This 2004 model is the last of the straight window frame design before Ford transitioned to the newer 'Peterbilt' style—making it a distinctive collector's item!
• Engine: Powered by the robust 4.2L V6 engine.
• Safety: Equipped with anti-lock brakes and front airbags.
• Tires are nearly new.
The Current Project Status (Needs Work!)
The honest truth: This truck needs a mechanic's touch to get back on the road.
• The Issue: The head gasket blew a little over three years ago.
• The Status: I started the repair (replacing gaskets, preparing for head machining) but realized I am not a mechanic and haven't had time to finish the job.
• What's Included:
o The intake plenum has been removed.
o All removed parts are safely stored and clearly labeled.
o An annotated Haynes repair manual is included to help guide the reassembly!
