And then proceed to drive it on a gravel track Edit: slowly Just to make sure it doesn’t trip a sensor and go into limp home mode

[@Quint1836]

And then send it to the dealer to be sold and work like that for the next 20 years. Those were REAL trucks

[@caribbeancarchannel2]

in these days the trucks were nicer than today...and had manual gearshift...I miss them

[@ernestomarquez4972]

And on those trucks if something goes bad you can put hand and fix it and on newer trucks you have to take them to the dealer which is a bad idea because they would charge you more than what you needed.

@@soupies6128 =A new winner for the most illogical post of the day. What was the payload and towing of the 1985 F-350? Answer. Notot enough. Ford trucks of that era could never have a perfect alignment. Tough? A Modern Ranger will out tow and out work a 1985 F-150.

I'm a GM guy but I love these old Ford commercials. Reminds me when I was a kid watching TV with my family. The 80s were the best. I wouldn't even mind having one of those old trucks now.

[@PatrickBaptist]

I likes the Fords, but not that year, 90s-2000s were good years, I'm more into the diesels, ford lost my respect when they ditched the 7.3 powerstroke for the crappy 6.0 and on newer engines that cannot get any real miles before major money is to be spent.

[@fernandorocha6486]

Ford trucks, Bronco and Bronco II 1980s i love it. My years favorites 1985, 1986, 1987 and 1988. My version favorite is flareside, Bronco and Bronco II 85-88

[@benmiddleton9984]

JRC99 I'm a Ford man until the day I die. But unfortunately, all companies are building their trucks cheaper. Older trucks regardless of the brand were built better. I'll take a 78 Ford Ranger any day over anything new if I had the choice. Old Fords and Chevys were just built better 50 years ago

they probably came painted that way in the 80s, on another note that I-Beam suspension was actually really bad on tires and caused the front tires to wear out really quick on these trucks.

[@MichaelFletcher-to7mm]

Slatternly Skaghalter theres also more wiring, technology and vehicles have crumple zones which takes a lot to engineer into a vehicle

[@MichaelFletcher-to7mm]

A Cat while you may see crumple zones as unneeded I’d actually prefer to survive a bad crash. Don’t get me wrong I plan on getting me an old ford someday and I know that there is a slight risk when driving one. Just trying to say it’s not unneeded if it helps in safety. Now comfort is another thing because you don’t have to be comfy

[@KG-sy2vs]

@@MichaelFletcher-to7mm lol I got into a wreck 3 years ago. Head on crash with combined speed of around 80mph. I in my 89 wrangler and the other kid in a new Nissan something or other coupe. When that a-hole crossed that line when he checked his phone... My wrangler ate that car up. Yes my frame bent in half, but everything was able to be stripped from the truck and reused. His engine was in his lap. I used all of HIS crumple zones. So in short, unless you hit a tree, you will be fine in an old vehicle. Just make sure you hit a newer vehicle when you decide to do so😂👍💪

Crazy to think in 1985 you could buy a brand new Ford Ranger for $5993 lol. Minimum wage was like $4 per hour. Inflation, wages and cost of living sure has screwed us. Minimum wage has only doubled in almost 40 years but cost of a small pickup is 5 or 6 times what it was almost 40 years ago. You could buy a huge single family home on over 5 acres in Virginia for $100,000 and now that same home/property almost 10X’d.
