This is the 1983 Ford F-150 XLS Flareside 4x4 Raven Black in 1:64 scale by IXO.
The 1983 Ford F-150 XLS Flareside 4x4 in Raven Black is a classic example of Ford's rugged fourth-generation F-Series, combining traditional pickup-truck toughness with sporty styling. Its distinctive Flareside bed, bold XLS trim, four-wheel-drive capability, and black exterior gave it a particularly aggressive appearance, while available V8 power provided the strength expected from a full-size work truck.

Its simple, durable mechanical design and unmistakable 1980s styling have also made the F-150 XLS Flareside a popular collectible among classic-truck enthusiasts.
