1986 Ford LTL9000 Drive

Moving the LTL9000 into the shop to begin work on it.

[@donnebes9421]

I ran a few of those back in the mid 80s. They were well built, and very comfortable on long hauls. Definitely one of my favorite trucks.

[@caldwelljackson9482]

Best looking truck ever built. Even today this classic design is second to none and looks better than anything on the road. Love the Ford LTL 9000!

[@toddbarker3774]

My dad had a 9000 10 wheeler dump truck that thing was a real work horse. They are sweet looking rides.

[@RJ1999x]

I loved the LTL truck, but the General had more class

[@jerrykinnin7941]

@@RJ1999x LTL9000 over the General everyday of the week and 2ce on Sunday. A problem with them . If i remember right. The biggest problem with them was they are a heavy truck. The classic "Louisvlle" cab is roomier than a pete. They where a heavy truck.

[@RJ1999x]

@@jerrykinnin7941 The General had a nicer cab and interior then the LTL or a pete

[@Manofwar9431]

Old 359 and a mack superliner would make this video perfect

[@DavidWilliams-ol3vp]

I miss trucks like this,love the sound of that 3406.Excellent video,thank u for sharing it with us.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Did any of these run the New Holland diesels?

[@Keith52188]

Love the sound of those old Cats!

[@markbuckles6609]

Yeah, that sounds like an old B model 425.

[@danallan1866]

I drove one back in the early 90s with a silver 92 Detroit and loved it. Not only a sweet looking truck but also user-friendly.

[@bertgrau9246]

I know I'm an old fart, I drove a LTL9000 day cab, beautiful truck. I just delivered it to our office in Alabama, I ran out of Arkansas. The young guy that got the truck said, it's a nice truck but doesn't pull very good. (300cummims) I said, I know wait till it's out of warranty then turn some fuel to it. I quit long before that happened though. That was back in 1986. Still a beautiful truck today

[@robpeters5204]

My first love is the LNT and LTS and the LTL and CLT units. Back when FORD ruled the road. Take your time and do it right! I have one brand new car rite windshield left for that unit.

[@donnebes9421]

rob peters the ltl 9000 was a great truck but ford definitely didn’t rule the road.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

@@donnebes9421 Mid to late 80s, Ford came close! America fell in love with the Big Oval.

Great looking truck, my favorite!

Nice looking ltl, seems to be nice original one

Good old reliable truck! I think that's still the heaviest hood ever made lol

We have an 88 LTL Cummins power day cab. Very well built truck. Mostly pulls a lowboy or a Landoll. We've had it like 15 years and it hasn't asked for much

[@Is..4110]

I had forgotten how Ford made such a beautiful truck back in the day.

[@terrellscaife2411]

You’re talking like you don’t like the new Engine emission trucks

[@jamescarter1500]

Hands down the best looking truck ever built! To date! The LTL 9000

[@shellcrackerlover5889]

I agree, as do many people. Ford needs to re-enter the heavy truck market!

[@dontaviouschandler3961]

@@shellcrackerlover5889 i solely agree with on that!! Ford had a great thing going for them when they made heavy duty commercial trucks. Even if they just produce single axle or day cab tractors with the new chassis, technology and the F750 or 850 cabs they'll dominate the freight trucking sales market

[@smelmore]

Agreed best looker ever

I drive a '19 kw w900L & I wholeheartedly agree.

[@billpowell4616]

I had one with a kta 550cummins,sceamer

[@kingjames8283]

It was an okay truck. I had a 1996 Ford LTL9000 double-frame daycab with Cummins N14-460 / Eaton Fuller 13-speed, 20,000-lbs steer with two gearboxes, 20,000-lbs lift tag, and 46,000-lbs Newway Airride tandem. That was one tough truck that could move mountains. My kneecaps on the other hand took a beating on that lower dash surround.

[@CoolCarsKJ]

I just almost the exact same truck but it's a 1997, without the lift tag
