Gary Lewis Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Wow, didnt know that. Was the hood emblem a common feature people ordered? I dont think i have ever seen it on a truck! The only hood ornaments I've seen have been on Explorers, and only a few of those. Big Blue is an Explorer and by '85 they'd stopped using hood ornaments on them.

Yes, Explorer was a package that was offered once a year and was on top of whatever level of trim the truck would have had. So Big Blue is an XLT Lariat Explorer as in '85 there was a trim level of XLT Lariat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing Special Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Yes, Explorer was a package that was offered once a year and was on top of whatever level of trim the truck would have had. So Big Blue is an XLT Lariat Explorer as in '85 there was a trim level of XLT Lariat. As I recall, Explorer was a series of packages. I ordered an '85 F-250 new. As I recall there were 4 different possible Explorer packages available (I ordered the Explorer A). They were all just different combinations of options, accompanied by a badge on the bed sides.
