Thinking of buying the Ford LT8501?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the Ford LT8501; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the Ford LT8501 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

A buyer's checks

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.

Reading the spec sheet

The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.

What the LT8501 is like

As a car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.

Good uses for the LT8501

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Try before you buy

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the LT8501 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the LT8501 tells you more than any review.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Compare the years of the LT8501: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

Let us know

Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Ford LT8501 from us first.

Buying the Ford LT8501

Does CarmaCars sell the Ford LT8501?

Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.

Can I rent a Ford LT8501 before I buy one?

Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.

Where do the figures come from?

Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
