What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1987 Ford F-150 generally express positive feelings about the truck's durability and performance, noting its strong engine and reliability. Many drivers appreciate its towing capacity and solid build, often describing it as 'built like a tank.' However, some have concerns about fuel efficiency and handling, mentioning that it can be a gas hog and lacks in brake performance. The nostalgic appeal and ease of maintenance are also highlighted in reviews."
V8 351 Windsor, changed from fuel injection to carburated. A.C. power windows. Handles excellent. Accelerates fast. Strong body made of metal not plastic. New brake lines with the lift kit. 9". Fifteen gallon tank so its about forty five dollars to fill it up it has two tanks. 2,000 or less miles. new rebuilt motor and transmission. Truck is very reliable, the shift kit drops, it has plenty torque. Since the replacement for the new motor and trans. been a to and fro work vehicle. Was close to finishing the truck completely, just ran out of money for the tires and paint still working towards it.
January 17, 2011Straight six 300, T18 4-speed 2wd longbed, need I say more? This is the best vehicle I've ever owned out of about 16. This is the fifth year I've had it. It has over 300 thousand miles and nothing worse that an intermitant miss due to poor upkeep. If i had to make a choice.... I choose my truck
November 30, 2009My father bought this truck in 1987 off the dealership lot. Our family has put 278,000 miles on this thing and it is still a great truck. It has been retired for about six years now and it will still start with one turn of the crankshaft. even when it hasn't been started in over three months, it will still start in less than two complest revolutions of the crank. the 300 straight six is the best of Fords' engines as far as reliability and endurance. The truck was wrecked in a severe thunder storm in 1988, and with a little work to the chassis, it was back on the road, and running very well in less than a month.

August 1, 2009The truck is built like a tank, the vehicle itself has great performance, but is lacking in the breaking and handling. The cost of ownership is quite low, I have only needed about 300$ in repairs in the last twelve years I have owned it.
May 26, 2009With factory 150 HP @ 4500 RPM and 300 lb-ft Torque @ 2500 RPM, and 22 mpg from a manual, this thing will out-tow, out-crawl, and out-mileage any small block V8! And it's not too hard to get 250HP+
May 29, 2008This truck was great for hauling big items and heavy items. Traction in snow was excellent...even with it being only 2wd. Front seats had good leg room, but rear seat was a bench type and was suited for smaller people and children. Rear seat could fold up for extra storage. This truck never let me down , but onyl had minor problems with the fuel regulator for the fuel injection...it would fail and the truck would go through huge amounts of fuel and run poorly. This regulator failed about 4 times , during the time I had the truck ( over 360000km) This truck was a great workhorse truck !!
November 21, 2012This Truck is great it is a stick so a little more fuel efficient but hard to master has a goods and overall reasonable ness to it not too old to over care for it but just old enough to be a classic
October 23, 2011Ford trucks are coolest trucks ever,The 87 is the 1st of this body type the 87 F150 was the last year you could get a carb on the 351w, however the 300,302 460 are EFI in 87. I love my truck.
September 23, 2010Ford tough, but the ugliest generation of all the f-series. I picked it up for less than $1000 as a work truck. It does the job but is showing its age. Build quality is not as high as old Toyotas, but I needed more hauling room and towing capacity. I still use the old Yotas for small jobs.
March 7, 2010i love this truck. built like a tank, looks awesome for the age, needs tuning badly because the performance on it kinda blows, cost me $700 to buy but goes through gas like crazy, fun to drive and very comfortable ride. love the bench seats.
