99 Eddie Bauer Edition Exploder 5.0 w/ AWD
I've had great luck with Ferd trucks/SUV's, but all the modern cars have been CRAP!
 
1993 Ford Ranger pick up truck. 3.0 Liter V-6 Automatic, 4 wheel drive.
Was a big help to me when i moved four months ago.
But it really doesn't get used that much.
 
I had an '03 Exploder that blew the motor at 79K miles :dontknow: Since I can't buy an extended cab Dodge truck anymore without it having 4 doors, I have actually looked at a Ford, before my GF bought me my Dakota.

A 57' F-100 Pick Up, (fleet side-standard bed-six cylinder-3 speed)

A 59' F-100 4X4 Pick Up, (Factory 4X4- first year for Ford to offer a 4X4),
(fleet side-standard bed-six cylinder-3 speed)

A 59' F-100 Panel Truck, (chest crusher-
six cylinder)


I have owned several 57' thru 60' F-100's

2009 E250 been driving ford vans for about 15years and would'nt drive anything else!!
 
Have owned in the past:
2001 Crown Vic
91 F150, 300 six, 5 spd a/c
89 F250 302, 4 spd granny low
86 Ford Escort GT
64 F350 Flat bed, dual wheels
 
Why? We gonna get a Ford section to go along with the F- body section ? :)

In the movie "Heart Like A Wheel", in one scene the race car trailer was being towed by a pristine 1960 Ford F-100 Crew Cab- Long Bed,... really nice!

A little later in the movie a beautiful Dodge Crew Cab-Long Bed of about the same year was towing a different race car trailer.

Both will last for ever if maintained, both will pull hard and not break if the owner does his part.

These two trucks are just about interchangeable, owning either one would be a pleasure.
