1979 Ford F-250 Review
ProsDefinitely one of the best if not THE best Ford pickup truck Ford ever built. The 1973-79 Ford pickups are the most popular among pickup truck enthusiasts and these trucks keep their resale value. They have the best styling, reliability and pulling power of all the Ford pickups. ConsGas mileage is and was from new only 10mpg no matter if you were doing 60mph or 6 mph, uphill, downhill or sideways. 
1,465
Best Bang For The Buck — I bought this truck new but if I were to buy another older Ford pickup, I wouldn't hesitate to look at and probably buy another one of these 1970's pickups. I would like to get a 2wd shortbed this time as mine is a 4wd longbed. Overall, I think it's the best truck Ford ever built, Definitely built Ford Tough !!! Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |

Toughest Truck Ford Ever Built. — 532 cubic inches, 39.5 boggers, 9" lift, detroit lockers, C6, 5000 stall, NP205 tcase. Built for mud racing, gotta love the smell of C12 race gas in the morning!! And nothing beats the sound of a big block ford screaming at 7000rpm. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Big Beefy Crew Cab — I never had any issues pulling anything that I could attach something to. The brakes were adequate though when pulling large loads it was more efficient to down shift than to mash the brakes (which of course is common sense). It was a solid truck that had typical rust and wear from being used as a truck and not a car with a bed. I loved the way it looked and all of the 'personality' marks my truck had. The interior was the typical styling for the time it was built. It was an absolute blast to drive this truck and the loud true dual exhaust with cherry bomb turbo 2 mufflers rumbled like thunder especially under overpasses. Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.) |
