A pickup truck that was made for work, but it never worked hard. This is the 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty. According to a recent report by Bring A Trailer, this truck has driven only 5,300 miles i.e. about 8,500 kilometers in 22 years. Let's know its history and why it is so special.
2003 was 22 years ago. At the time, the Ford F-250 Super Duty was designed for heavy work, such as hauling luggage or pulling a trailer. But this particular truck, which is an XL model, is almost like new. Its owner used to keep it mostly in the garage. Its condition is so good that it looks like a showroom car.
The Ford F-250 is a plain, white regular cab long-bed truck. It has factory steel wheels, no fancy alloy wheels. Its design is simple, as in working trucks. The front grille and headlights show off the 2003 styling. It has no additional decor, just a strong, working look.

The F-250 is powered by a 5.4 -litre V8 Triton gas engine that delivers 260 horsepower. The engine is powerful enough to haul heavy loads. It has a 4-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The truck weighs about 5,500 pounds, but it can easily pull a trailer up to 8,000 pounds. This truck was made for work, but it was never used.
The interior of this car is very basic. It has vinyl seats, rubber floor mats and manual windows. There's no touchscreen or fancy sound system. The dashboard is plain, with just the necessary buttons and switches. This XL model was for those who just wanted work, not luxury. Nevertheless, its condition is so good that the seats and dashboard look like new.

This truck drove only 5,300 miles in 22 years, that is, an average of 240 miles per year. This means that it was mostly kept in the garage. Perhaps the owner bought it for a special purpose, but then did not use it. Now this truck is being sold in the auction. Its clean condition makes it special for collectors, who collect old vehicles.
This 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty is being auctioned on the Bring A Trailer website. Its price has not been revealed yet, but considering its condition, it can go up to 20,000 to 30,000 dollars. In 2003, the truck was worth about $25,000. Today, its value has increased due to its rare condition. This is a great opportunity for those who like old, clean trucks.
