Ford F-150 (1980 - 1986) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

The trucks a beast, it's a 302, except with elderbrock intake, carb, and heads, plus a set of unknown brand headers. Its a 4 speed 4x4 with granny low and yesterday we had 16+ inches of snow where i live plus the drifts built up in front of my truck and the truck started immediatly and drove right down my country drive way in 4 wheel drive in 2nd gear the whole time without a problem, that truck amazes me. not only that i get compliments all the time. Oh ya and the best part is, if you get bigger tires and get a lil lift, no one ever rides your ass : )Dec 11, 2009

1986 F150, inline six, 3 speed, 2WD. Tough as nails truck, flexible, hard working, fun to drive. Body starts to rust in all the typical Ford places, does ride like a grain truck when it gets really cold, but always starts even at -50c. Didn't really expect sports car speed, especially with the inline, but it can move, tons of low-end torque. Mileage is 4.8 km/L (14.6 mpg for the Americans), not bad for 280,372km truck. Durable as hell, been hit six times and its still rolling strait, can't say the same for the cars that hit me. lol Love the look of it, like a Panzer tank on wheels. Recommend it highly.Dec 06, 2009

I love this truck. It has taken a lot of my money to keep it running but it has all round great performance. I would never sell it or get rid of it. It is a country boys truck. I am wishing to fix it up and make it a show truck after college. My dad gave it to me and i thank him greatly for giving it to me. It has gotten me into a lot of trouble and has also gotten me out of a lot.Sep 28, 2009

i love my 85 ford pick up. i am 18 and its my first vehicle and i couldnt have asked for a better one. my dad bought it from his dealership for 800 and put about 3 grand into it. (including magna flow and bigger tires)so the truck runs great and hasnt left me stranded yet. but it is only a 2wd which, where i live isnt very popular. i cant take it wheeling with my buddies but its still a keeper.

It's a 1986 ford, with a 5.0 (*302) Engine package. Everything on the vehicle is stock. It's got 125k miles on it and it's got a flawless exterior/interior. Eventually I plan to upgrade the exterior/interior somehow but I have not picked a specific style yet. I have changed the wheels, to a 50's style, baby moon chrome rims with thicker tires in the back and smaller ones in the front, both for 15" rims. I will post pictures later if there seems to be some interest in it.Aug 11, 2008

long lasting engine (300 k/miles easy ! hear of 400k/miles done by somme !) easy to fix, low cost parts .. btw ; originals galipers, alternator, p/b, p/s, trany, t-case, drive-shafts ! it's not very fast but have impressive handling even under load ! I bought this truck 15 years ago, I've made 1500miles rides with a caravan every years (that's why I bought this truck, to pull ! and he did it, quite well !) I'm very satisfied !Jun 04, 2008

i rebuilt my f.i. 302 (vin # N) by boring it .30 over and installing a 260 lift cam to replace the 206 from the factory. with headers, electric fan and few other mods i am pushing 398 hp. AWESOME TRUCK! im getting 19.5 mpg on the hwy. the AOD trans leaves some to b desired since u cant hold it in 2d gear manually. but other than that it is nearly completely rebuilt and i plan to keep it for at least 8 to 10 more years.Nov 30, 2007
