The big news for Ford's 1982 truck line was the introduction of the Ranger compact pickup. Despite the new truck's appeal, the 1982 Ford F-150 continued to dominate the American and international markets.
Trimlines for the F-series trucks were renamed to avoid confusion with the company's new offering; you'll find the 82 Ford F150 in the XL, XLT, and XLT Lariat trims. Other configurations remained constant, with the variations in cab (extended cab, supercab, 2-door, 4-door), bed length (short-bed and long-bed), and a choice between styleside and flareside all available to buyers of the 1982 Ford F150.
This sturdy workhorse continued to be popular with off-road hobbyists, as well as bringing reliability and power to ranch and farm. Tuners prize the muscle and durability of this rugged truck today; the 82 Ford F-150 is still a favorite project truck for four-wheelers and street cruisers who want the solid feeling you only get from a half-ton of Detroit steel.
What owners say
"Owners of the 1982 Ford F-150 have mixed feelings about their trucks. Many appreciate the powerful inline 6 engine, with some even highlighting its potential with modifications. However, several drivers expressed concerns about reliability, underpowered performance, and the need for exterior work. The nostalgic charm of the truck is often mentioned, appealing to those with sentimental value."

March 11, 2008An oldie but a goodie, looks like crap but it runs great. Not great acceleration, but ive had the speedometer buried. Stops great now that i have new tires. the passenger door squeaks a little. custom interior. Not too good on gas...
September 5, 2010I recently purchased my F-150 from my father who has owned it for the last 5 years. It is a 302, auto 4X4. It seems way under powered compared to my '95 Ram 1500 with a 318. I do like the stance it has sitting on 31X10.50s though. For a 72,000 mile truck I can't complain.
November 2, 2007The truck was very unreliable, had major defects in the paint and body, but the motor was very powerful for a I-6. I wouldnt reccommend the 2-wheel drive version , but the 4x4 version would make a good work truck if regularly maintained
April 1, 2008Just bought one just like it and in beautiful condition. Straight inline 300cu in. 6 cylinder motor built the way motors should still be made.
October 29, 2007this truck gets me from point a to point b thats what matered at the time i paid 1500 for it i actaully got a good deal cause the i-6 engine had just been rebuilt but i needs alot of exteroir work alot
