Get in-depth info on the 2024 Ford F-150 including prices, specs, reviews, options, safety and reliability ratings.
The Ford F-Series was the best selling motor vehicle in the United States for the 1982 model year and has remained in the No. 1 spot ever since. You'd think that Junkyard Gem-worthy examples of that historic F-Series generation would be easy to find in the car graveyards I frequent, given how many were sold, but most of the ones that do show up have been used up beyond easy recognition and then picked clean by junkyard shoppers.
The F-Series hadn't gone very far along the process of its metamorphosis into the replacement for the American family sedan by the middle 1980s, so the powertrain in this one is extremely truckish. The engine is the base 300-cubic-inch pushrod straight-six, rated at 115 horsepower and 223 pound-feet. 302- and 351-cubic-inch gasoline V8s were available as options, and buyers of 1985 F-250s and F-350s could opt for a 460-cube big-block V8 or a 6.9-liter diesel.
