The 1985 Ford F-150 was the first model in this line to offer fuel-injection technology. The 85 Ford F150 came off the line with a choice between a fuel-injected 5.0 liter Windsor V8 engine and the carburetor version of the Windsor V-8, as well as the diesel and straight-six choices.
"Have it your way" was the name of the game for the 85 Ford F-150. Buyers could choose their engines, their cab configurations (extended cab supercab was the roomiest of the 4-door setups, with 2-door cabs continuing in popularity), and their options packages. XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat were the trims available.
The 1985 Ford F150 is a powerhouse pickup with the ruggedness and durability valued on farm, ranch, and worksite. You'll find plenty of these seemingly-immortal workhorses out there today, going off-road or all dolled up by the tuner set.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1985 Ford F-150 generally appreciate its reliability and power, especially the inline 6 and V8 engines. Many enjoy it as a fun, rugged vehicle for off-roading and work. However, some drivers have reported issues with overheating, fuel injection, and carburetor problems. A few noted poor fuel economy and basic model features, but overall, it seems to be a beloved choice among first-time truck owners and those looking for a dependable ride."
the five liter motor makes great power the way it is it handles well for a truck so far the cost to maintane has been low a few odds and ends but not bad for a 27 year old truck

April 3, 2011AWESOM TRUCK!! The performace is great, because it has the 5.0 from a mustang. The build quality is typical 80s: cloth seats and bits of faux wood EVERYWHERE. The appearance is boxy, yet rugged. I tis very fun. I love it!
January 7, 2010Good on gas and plently of torque for off-roading. Good lookin truck and its cheap to fix( if you do it yourself). All the mechanical parts of the truck will last longer than your own life, and you can take it pretty much anywhere.
February 24, 2010i 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.
January 31, 2009Overall it is a great truck. Used to have a problem with the fuel injection till i put a chip to regulate the amount of fuel it draws. The truck is as strong as an ox. I will never sell this vehicle.
December 20, 2009Great old low mileage (73000) work truck. The frailest part is the early FI. I only drive it about 7000/yr. AT A/C. Will drive it a lot of years yet. Suspension, brakes, shocks and steering has been freshened - drives real good for its vintage. Pulls car trailer easiley.
January 19, 20111985 Ford F150 with a 302 under the hood. It's a 70's block apparently with a EFI system from the 90's on top. I paid $500 for it. Basically has all new tires around it until I get done burning them off to put my 31's on. It moves out pretty decent, stops better than the last one but it's an automatic and I get so bored driving it sometimes. It needs to be placed back in time and I gotta get rid of the spark knock in it before it gets beefed up at all.
October 25, 2010Runs great, has an inline 6. pulls whatever i put it up to. i'm 16, great first truck:) paid 600 and put 2 grand into it. I'm thinking about putting a 460 in it so it sounds a lot more powerful. i love this truck though. definately worth what i paid.
