Is it too much to ask for matching interior door panels, a tailgate, and a straight front bumper for my $8500?

Nice enough truck – but nowhere near $8500 nice.

Basically , its a heavy tow package. Looks like a decent price on that truck.

I agree! AC and everything, just no 4wd.
 
What's a "trailer special" ?

There were 2 categories for the Trailer Special.

Light duty trailer towing package:
Good for towing up to 2,000lbs.
This package included a heavy duty radiator, external oil cooler, seven lead trailer harness, heavy duty turn signal flasher and the Trailer Special emblem on the T-gate.

Heavy duty trailer towing package:
Good for towing up to 6,000lbs.
This package included a heavy duty alternator,heavy duty battery, HD rear shocks, bigger radiator, rear sway bar, swing out recreational mirrors, amp meter, oil pressure gauge, HD front springs, external oil cooler and the Trailer Special emblem on the T-gate.

Trailer Specials are not specific to 250/350's. Bronco's were also available as a Trailer Special. Mine being one of them.
 
Thanks Guys - i'd never heard the term before.

But when did they actually stop using the "trailer Special" emblem on the tailgate ?
