When it comes to limited-edition vehicles, some are definitely better looking than others. I would class this 1991 Ford F150 Nite Edition as being one of the nicer offerings from any manufacturer. The Black paint, when combined with the unique side stripes and decals, results in a very sharp looking vehicle. This 1991 F150 Nite appears to be in very nice condition and is said to have a genuine 48,000 miles on the clock. Located in Darlington, Maryland, the Nite has been listed for sale here on eBay. Bidding has been extremely spirited on the F150, but this has only pushed the price along to $3,550 in what is a No Reserve listing.
For the 1991 model year, the Nite package was only made available on the F150 with XLT Lariat trim. It was essentially an appearance option that brought Black paint, blacked-out exterior trim, alloy wheels, along with some very distinctive multi-color side stripes and decals in either predominantly blue or pink. This Nite features the blue stripes, and looking around the vehicle’s exterior, it seems to be very original. The panels appear to be straight, with no evidence of dings, dents, or ripples. It isn’t possible to get a clear look at the condition of the bed, but the owner does supply some photos of the F150’s underside, and it looks to be clean and rust-free. The original alloy wheels seem to be in great condition, and all five wheels wear matching Goodyear Wrangler tires that have plenty of tread on them.
Buyers in 1991 had the choice of two engines for their F150 Nite, and in this case, we find the fuel-injected 351ci V8. This engine produces 200hp, which is fed to a 4-speed automatic transmission. The Nite was only made available on the F150 in 4×4 form, and also included some upgrades to the suspension package as the only mechanical improvements. The engine and its surroundings look to be quite clean and tidy, but personally, I could do without the heavy coating of detail spray that is present. The owner claims that the F150 has covered a genuine 48,000 miles, and if this is accurate, then the vehicle should have plenty of life left in it. The Nite is not only fitted with good tires, but the entire exhaust from the manifold to the tailpipe has just been replaced.
In a vehicle of this type, it is courting disaster to have the interior trimmed in pale grey cloth, but that is precisely what the original owner chose to do with this one. After 29-years, it would seem reasonable to expect such trim to be showing its fair share of wear and staining, but that isn’t the case here. The seat has some wrinkling on the driver’s side outer edge, but beyond that, it is in impressive condition. The seats, dash, door trims, carpet, and the headliner, all appear to be free of stains or problems. The correct “Nite” badge remains in place on the dash, and even the original Slate-colored Nite mats are still on the floor. The factory radio has been replaced with a CD player, and apart from that and the cover on the wheel, it remains unmolested. As well as looking extremely neat and tidy, the interior carries some nice equipment. Looking around inside you will find air conditioning, power windows, power locks, and cruise control.
With the 1991 F150 Nite Edition, one of its greatest frustrations is that while it is known that it was built in relatively limited numbers, no-one seems to be able to confirm just what those production totals are. The fact is that the Nite package was only available for the 1991 and 1992 model years before Ford chose to discontinue it. It is possible to find a few for sale today, but as is the case with so many of these vehicles from this period, the majority have lived hard lives, and tend to have been beaten mercilessly. This one is a really tidy and clean example, and with such low mileage, it is one that should have many years of life left in it. So, for the person who is searching for something a bit unusual and classy in a pickup, this could be worth a serious look.
When I was a teenager I accidentally ALMOST opened my door into one of these at my local tire store and the the guy that owned it lost his mind. I was a good foot and a half away from hitting it in my cordoba. That’s what I thought of when I saw this.
Probably a typo, but this is a 2wd truck, not a 4×4. Single cab, useful and well-proportioned 8’ bed, big V8 rwd = my fave combo, only missing a stick! Great buy if the price holds, just get rid of the steering wheel cover and all that Armor All!
This is that “Urban Cowboy” pick up truck. For the guy from the suburbs with the shiny un-scuffed boots…who shows up at the local Country & Western bar…for line dance lessons.
You nailed it, sir. Growing up in Montana, we all made fun of those types. They were the ones who had collapsible metal walking sticks instead of a stick of wood.
The XLT package automatically came with these cloth seats, so the original owner, if he or she wanted the Nite package & the Nite package only came on the XLT, had no choice.
With that thought in mind, this cloth actually wore very well. With the wrinkling you see on the drivers side seat, I am going to assume that it is either a higher mile vehicle (5 figure odometer on these, if I recall correct…I might be wrong) or an owner, current or past, might have my build (325 pound frame).
Either way, sharp truck. If kept reasonable priced, it could be a decent, unusual looking hauler.
The Nite was indeed available as a 4×4. I should know, I own one.
Reminds me of my 1988 F150, which I owned from 1990 to 2001. Man, that was a good truck.
I had a 1991 4×4 short bed reg cab nite with a 351 and auto. It had a cab visor, roll bar and straight pipes. It was a fun truck and I beat the snot out of it, it probably was recycled into a Prius, RIP
Still have mines. 91 Short bed. Manual and came with a body kit. Idk if that was a package. Recently turned the 305 block into a 347 stroker. Beautiful trucks!
What size are those wheels 8 x 15?
