The first new vehicle, as compared with preowned, I had was a 1989 F-150 XLT Lariat.
Standard cab, black/grey metallic/black, 2WD, 300ci inline 6 cylinder, manual 5 speed, 6250lb GVW package, long bed, twin fuel tanks, sliding rear window, carpet, power windows and locks and chrome step bumper. Ran it for 14 years and 234k miles. It got 15-17mpg from the day it was new until it was carried away on a flatbed. It ran like a champ until the end when I didn’t have the time (job, 2 young kids) to keep up with the maintenance.
Replaced with a 1995 Mazda Miata MX-5.
