2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL

2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty XL — 6.8L V10, 5-Speed, “Rusty But Trusty”

Hey folks, here’s a classic that’s seen some winters and won the fight: a 2000 F-250 XL regular cab, V10 with a 5-speed stick. She’s got rust where Midwest trucks love to rust, but twist the key and this beater fires right up, settles into a happy idle, and goes to work like it’s still 2000.

Who it’s for
Need a low-ego, high-effort rig for dump runs, wood hauling, farm chores, or jobsite duty? This one’s not here to impress the neighbors—just to get things from A to B without complaining

Highlights and benefits

• Triton 6.8L V10, 310hp/425 lb-ft — starts easy, pulls strong, and sounds like a shop vac on protein powder.

• 5-Speed manual — shifts clean, lets that V10 do its thing, and keeps life simple under the hood.

• RWD, long bed — plenty of room for lumber, hay, or “stuff the spouse said needs to disappear”.

• 235,163 actual miles, Clean status — drives straighter than it looks and tracks true down the road.

• Rust alert — rockers, cab corners, frame scale; it’s all there and priced for it. Bring a sense of humor and a tetanus shot if feeling dramatic.

The Nook Take
Not pretty. Not fancy. But the drivetrain is honest, the clutch feels right, and it does exactly what a good ole beater should: start, steer, stop, and haul without drama. If a dependable parts-runner/yard truck/utility mule is on the list, this one’s ready today.
