1986 Ford F-150 Review
ProsStrong, durable, low-end torque, hard to kill. ConsMileage not great, prone to rust, hard to find parts.

Great Work/fun Loving Truck, Durable, Never Lets You Down. — 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. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Fun Truck — Even though 23ish years have robbed it of some horsepower, this is the best truck I've ever driven. I've got an f-250 turbo-diesel but the handling is terrible, turning radius is bad beyond description. Driven some later model Chevys and Fords, but nothing can hold a candle to this truck. The interior looks a bit rough- the red dash is no longer exactly vibrant- and the carpet definitely had to be redone, but it's a work truck and looks pretty fine doing that work. Has hauled lots of trees, dirt, feed and hay and is always game, even if the load is a bit over it's half-ton capacity. We rebuilt the transmision (manual) a year ago and it drives real nice. Had to replace the interior fuel pump (figured that out after the tenth time the engine shut off while going round a corner). Only faults I've found it the AC block is massive so it sucks horsepower and MPGs like a tornado in a trailer park, and it doesn't drive ice well, even with tactful handling. Awesome truck to drive...handles country roads and city roads and a little off roading in between... and you should see all the boys' faces when they see the girl driving it :) |

ProsGreat 4 wheel drive, lots of power, durable, great ride ConsHorrible gas mileage, the clutch goes out more than I would like it to

Great Vehicle For Off Roading Or Hauling — It came with an Inline 6 and I didnt care for the inline with a 3 speed so I swapped the engine to a 302 and put dual exhaust with new headers on it. It gets to highway speed REALLY easy and 4 wheel drive is awesome. The bad side is that it is a 3 speed so it has bad gas mileage on it. Its a single cab with a long bed and a vinal cover on the bed. I also put in an aftermarket stereo with speakers in it and its louder than those gangsters with the subs and bass tubes....trust me. The grill guard can also take a beating. It has pulled cars out of mud and ditches and also has pulled me out of a ditch by it. It doesn't have a lift but has plenty of ground clearence for off roading through tough terrain amd also I have ut 34 inch tires on it. |

Mostly Good — Once i get eveything fixed this truck is gonna be runnin for a long time cuz its a tough built truck, even tho its a ford i love it. Ive put alot of repairs into it cuz the previous owner didnt take care of it or maintain it. The interior is in pretty good condition, the outside just needs a fresh coat of paint, and now some body repair cuz it got hit 2 days ago :( it dont get to good gas mileage but the maintenence is pretty easy. And it is a very fun truck to dirve cuz its smooth and tall. Primary Use: Family transportation |

ProsExtremly useful. The long bed will let a full sheet of plywood lay flat with the tail gate shut. Tool box holds all the tools you need. Starts when ready to work.People get out of your way. No one asks to borrow it. ConsVery slow. Very ugly. Steering column busted looks like you stole it. No radio. No speakers. Dash all busted up. Right turn signal doesn't work. Can you help me move? then not even offered gas money.

In-line Six Cylindre Engine 4.9l 300cu/in, 4x4, Very Tuff — 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 ! |
