POV test drive 1996 Ford F150 regular cab long bed inline 6 with a manual transmission review pov

[@torquetrain8963]

2wd 8ft bed manual transmission 6 cylinder inline regular cab. A real pickup. Not these 4 door puny bed automatic crap. This is a pure pickup, not the nonsense coming out of the factories now.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

My kinda truck right here

[@Mindphaser98]

I've had 2 of these trucks with that engine and transmission combo, one 2wd and the other 4x4. 2wd truck only had 76,000 miles on it, bought it as my first truck and paid $1600 for it 5 years ago. The 4x4 has 200,000 miles and still runs like a champ!

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I love it!

[@thecarexpert21]

My neighbor has one of these! Don't know the exact year, but it's a red, supercab, V8 model. Absolutely immaculate, doesn't drive it in the winter. They tow their travel trailer with it every now and then.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Great ole trucks man

[@pantherplatform]

I love these engines. Rebuilt several. They run so smooth. About to buy a 96 with this engine. Belongs to a university that keeps it in storage year round and only has 40k miles.

[@jesserowe8986]

Put a new head on my 96. New ignition electronics with 267k on it still barks the tires with the automatic. It's sooooo smooth man 65 mom can't even hear it

[@johnfleming7879]

paid 3500 for mine-I am so happy I cant believe-That 5 speed used to be Dana aluminum housing built by Mitsubishi 1500 RPM gets 65 miles per hour. Mine is cherry, with working AC and c lean interior

I just bought one of these.. Had 2 in the 90 s. Good straight truck !

Awesome truck!

Beautiful Truck!

awesome video. i have this truck myself manual transmission, i love it.

[@michaeldunagan8268]

My experience with inline engines that were built before the years of variable cam timing always had great take-off/ throw your back into the seat torque. Even my 1992 inline 4 Ford Probe I had would be preferred in City driving over my current 1999 Toyota Solara 3.0 V6. I'd have to get up to 4.3L with the GM vortec V6 to have the same kind of feel. My brother-in-law has an inline-6 in his BMW roadster and I'm just amazed of its performance off idle to 60-mph.

[@imranabbasi7871]

I love your ford f150 pickup trucks 🚚

[@mitebadopted3894]

I've been wanting one of these for my first cars (i'm getting one next year) and this thing just looks like fun, i've always thought inline 6 bad go for V8 but now i'm reconsidering

[@ROBinJVILLE]

just picked up an 87 with the I6 and 4 speed manual. body is good although needs paint, has an oil leak, but she runs so good. long bed 2wd with dual tanks. says 77k miles, but who knows

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Man I love the long bed regular cab trucks

[@behindthewolfseyes]

I'm looking at buying an 88 with the same setup. Do you find it does okay at highway speeds without a fifth gear? Traffic around town hits 80mph in Pittsburgh. This truck would go for twelve grand up here in that condition.

[@wyattandwill12]

My dad has a 92 or 93 XL with the straight 6, manual, and vinyl flooring. He’s thinking about selling it to my brother or I bc the clutch is starting to mess with his knee now, when he started driving it again after getting it fixed his knee started hurting again. I talked to my brother and I knew he’s looking for a truck but he said he wouldn’t buy it, I’m assuming mainly bc it’s a stick. It would be so cool to have it. If I got it I’d probably partly overhaul the fuel system and see what needs to be done with the A/C. I don’t really use A/C but if it’s not $500 in parts it would be nice to have it working.

[@myk1_sp]

Take that truck man! It'll last forever if you take care of it. ^^

[@willwork2fish261]

Great looking truck man!! My hands shake a lot like yours… I always get asked almost everyday why they do.

5 grand more like 15 grand these days

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

Right

[@michaelgreeson1474]

Got mine for $1500 with only 90,000 miles with the factory 4.9 in-line 6.

[@Laascaanood614]

I got mine with 50k miles. It was college maintenance work truck for 1200, but I had to do everything. It was worth every penny 😉

[@BrowardBandit]

Everyone down here in so Flo is asking at-least 5k for a 200k miles 4.9

[@kevinrichards3288]

I think 1996 was the year the piece of the optional body side molding trim on the bed behind the rear wheel on each side was removed.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I’m not as familiar with the trucks so I’m not real sure. Interesting facts to know

[@LukeMtech55]

Hey Joe, I just purchased a brand new 2020 Eminent White Pearl Lexus ES 350 with the Luxury Package and the difference between the 2020 and 2017 is crazy. Lexus really out did itself with the handling and body style of the new one. I traded in my 2017 for it and with the 0 percent financing it was a no brainier. I'm gonna be headed up your way next month and if you want to meet up and review the car let me know.
