Cruising toward the Jersey Shore in the early ‘90s, you’ve got Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch blaring through the speakers, setting the perfect mood for the trip.
The energy is high, and the only thing left to complete the scene is a vehicle that demands attention. This particular truck would have no trouble turning heads along the Garden State Parkway.
Drenched in metallic magenta, this 1992 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat comes loaded with period-correct flair. It features a cab spoiler, a bed spoiler, synth-wave-inspired tailgate graphics, a push bar, air deflectors, and chrome wheels.
Currently available for bidding on Bring a Trailer—an auction site under the same Hearst Autos umbrella as Car and Driver—this pickup embodies the early ‘90s aesthetic as much as neon Spandex and a pair of Rollerblades.
A Perfect Fit for Radwood Events
For anyone planning to roll up to a Radwood-style car meet, few choices could be better. Picture rolling in with a bed packed full of Crystal Pepsis and Jolt Colas, rocking some wraparound shades and knee-high tube socks, ready to embrace peak ‘90s nostalgia.
Factory-equipped with useful features, this truck goes beyond just looking the part. It includes air conditioning, cruise control, and power-operated windows, locks, and mirrors.
Beneath the hood sits a reliable 302-cubic-inch V-8, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. The rear tow hitch means hauling a pair of Yamaha WaveRunners to the lake is entirely within reason.
Low Mileage and Ready to Drive
A clean history report with no recorded accidents adds to the appeal, and the odometer reads just 61,000 miles. Recent maintenance includes an oil change and a fresh exhaust system.
Apart from its bold visual upgrades, this F-150 remains largely original. It promises affordability and practicality while ensuring plenty of admiring glances wherever it goes.
