1989 F-150 Ford Lariat Built To Last! — I like the classic look of this beefy 5.0 F-150 Lariat. Few left in such original condition still on the road. It's the perfect low budget, high return vehicle for a nice simple paint job restoration. Pure Texas truck of the eighties with the style of impressing Sissy at Gilley's on Saturday night!

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Reliability! Low miles for an '89, Strong tight motor and shifting, not bad on gas as one might think, all original interior in excellent shape for an 89, power locks and windows work great, cruise control, good glass, semi-loud turn downs, the boys love it! Cold a/c, hot heater, shifts strong.

Cons: Paint is aging, no side trim, seat fabric a bit worn on drivers side, small rust spot on the bed.

Used And Abused — Has over 280,000 miles and still runs strong, with the slant six. She has a hole in the floor that needs fixed. And the bed should be replaced. She is an 89 and she was used and abused, but still runs like a champ

Pros: Reliable

Cons: Road hard and put away wet. Has hole in floor.

It's A Keeper! — I enjoy driving this truck and am finding myself using it more and more every week. Easy to handle, good on gas, plenty of power, 4 speed w/overdrive tranny, and extremely dependable. About the only thing I regret is I should have gotten a solid paint model. I have a 2 tone paint job, Burgandy with a White stripe down the side.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Pros: This truck is fun to drive and easy to park. It handles great on and off road even though it's a 2wd. It's pulled everything I've asked it to and has no problem carring a full load in it's short/wide bed. With normal, scheduled maintance this truck is very inexpensive to operate and with it's duel fuel tanks it seems to run forever!  The EFI 302 is a perfect match for this truck with enough power to get the job done and easily handles the interstate as well as the rough country mountain roads. It's a keeper!!!

Cons: About the only con I can think of is that it's a 1989 model and things ware with age. Fortunately most everything is easy to replace!

Its Great If You Like To Put Gas In It Every Week And Fun Offroad — all low gears so its terrible on gas. Handles like a car. Needed alot of work but well worth all of it. Interior is mint and pain is a little rough. Only getting 12mpg if im lucky. Its fun as hell since its a 5.8L v8 with 4x4 Put 33inch tires for looks and gas milage my quad jut fits in the back. Not a bad truck for 500. Put 2,000 into it but like i said well woth it

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: too much power

Cons: gas milage

1989 F-150 Swb Reg Cab 5.0l Man. Trans. — I don't easily get attached to vehicles, but I got pretty emotional seeing this truck go. I had lots of memories with it, and it was very reliable. The 5.0l was not perfect, but it made enough power to make the truck an exciting drive. I got around 16 mpg combined driving.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Pros: Dependable

Cons: Fuel Mileage
