1979 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 4x4 — 400ci V8, Lifted, Two-Tone Long Bed Why This Car Is Special The 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT sits at the end of one of the most celebrated runs in American truck history. The sixth-generation F-Series, which ran from 1973 through 1979, was the last of the truly old-school body-on-frame Fords before the more refined seventh generation arrived for 1980. That makes 1979 the final expression of a design that had already proven itself as the best-selling vehicle in America — a title the F-Series has never relinquished since it first claimed it. Collectors have been gravitating toward these trucks for exactly that reason: the 1979 is the last year of the generation, giving it the same end-of-run appeal that draws buyers to final-year muscle cars. This particular example is a well-optioned 4x4 long-bed regular cab wearing the Ranger XLT trim package, which was Ford's mid-to-upper trim level in 1979, sitting above the base Custom and the standard Ranger but below the top-tier Lariat. Ranger XLT brought added interior refinement including woodgrain trim accents, upgraded cloth seating, and chrome exterior details that the base truck didn't offer. Combined with the 4x4 drivetrain, 400ci V8, and a Trail Master lift kit, this is a truck that was optioned for both comfort and capability when it was new — and it still shows. The VIN structure on this truck confirms it was built as a light-duty F-150 regular cab with the 4x4 drivetrain, assembled during the 1979 model year. At the time, Ford offered the F-150 in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations, and the 4x4 commanded a meaningful premium on the lot. Finding a 4x4 long-bed with the Ranger XLT package and the 400 engine — rather than the more common 302 or 351 — is a combination that doesn't show up often.
