7.3L diesel makes this Ford truck tough enough to pull mesquite tree taproots with only a chain. Towing package makes for a slightly rougher ride than my wife's passenger car, but the clearance is more than enough to use in the mesquite and cactus. Enough room to put three boys in the back seat and still have a conversation between the front seat passengers. Body style doesn't belong to anything but a FORD!

LAST OF THE GREAT BREED OF FORD TRUCKS.THE CAB IS MUCH SMALLER THAN THE NEWER MODELS BUT THE STYLING IS ALOT NICER TO LOOK AT.

It has been macgivered together on the front end (Cal Worthington?) not having a shop and time to go thru this truck before I bought it was a big mistake. I'm sure it would have been a good truck if it was not abused and salvaged to be put out for sale by a dealership. Any one else would have paid to have it fixed right. Watch out who you do business with!
