Nice!! If taken care of, that 300 straight 6 will outlast the body of the truck!! LOTS of them out there with over 300,000 miles, and a few well over 400,000. I’ve owned 2 of them. The last one had over 267,000 miles when I replaced the oil pan(stripped out over sized oil drain bolt from so many oil changes). With the oil pan off, I shined a flashlight to check the cylinder walls. You could still see the factory crosshatch!! These are GREAT motors!!
Yea that’s cool ! I love these engines .. this truck has over 400,000 miles on the dash not sure if it was rebuilt or not but engine still has good compression and it still works hard and runs strong
They are good motors I've got a 84 f250 with carb 300 and 4 speed it broke 1.5 million a few years back it a service truck weighing in about 11,500 and tows the cut off that was another service truck at on point and that weighs about 6,000 and always gets the job done its not fast but always dependable
I have a1987 ford bronco and a1995 f150 5speed and I pull my trailer whit that f150 no problems at all and every year I put 8 yards of mulch on that trailer not problem at all I love those engines easy to work on it
Piece of cake, 89 F250, 300k miles, gooseneck trailer 2001, 26.5k pounds over the scales, coast to coast on I80, would only do 52 with the ac off and 51 with the ac on (flats) but uphill it was a little slower, 100% power for a week running long days. never missed a beat. My only historical issues are tearing/crushing the fluid filled motor mounts so I have installed a chain on each side down to the engine cradle to limit movement, problem solved.
My 1993 f150 had a 4.9L under the hood 5 speed on the floor, 3.55 axle. It pulled a 9k camper in Ohio a few years back for my brother and I kept it in 4th gear all the way. Never went over 55mph because I didn't need to. The hardest clime I had was jumping on the free way in Niles from 46 to 82 had to climb it in 2nd and when I got the top grabbed 3rd. There not fast engines but if you gear it right with the right transmission set up. Im sure it'll pull a house down. I ended up getting 2 91's 1 f250 1 f150 both 4.9s
I love 300s but currently I have idis. 5 speed turbo with 9k on the hitch and I cruse down the freeway at 70 with the ac blasting. Does really good on hills to. 4 or 3 gear never had to shift lower
Well I know this is an older video but good video I enjoy it I got a straight six in my 88 GMC 2500 I love it but then you hear what year is that Ford pickup you got thanks brother
1992 f150 with the 4.9 and aode I’m guessing, pulled both a 74 F100 360 shortbed and then after a 96 F350 crew cab with the big utility box and 460 96 miles in Oklahoma each trip. Same deal, big hills it would get there in 2nd gear 40 mph but not struggling, just working. I was surprised the truck seemed to run better in this order, F350, F100, empty. Lol.
Yea I have pulled a bobcat with this one as well and I definitely believe that the manual trans with this engine is the best. it gives you way more control when towing heavy .. the automatic lags a bit in downshifting and causes you to lose speed but it still does the job.
This guy is on point with all this. Trucks can tow a hell of a lot more then modern "science" says they can. I tow 9000lb trailers with my 92 toyota 4x4 2.4l 22r It climbs mountain passes at 35-40mph turning the engine at 3600rpm while getting no less then 14mpg It's properly set up for this and the w series transmissions have a very usable 3rd gear. This engine competes with the small block lines in torque being applied to the axle shafts. 22r w/ cam, 300cfm progressive carb, header, 9.5:1, oversized valves. 4.88s in the axles, 31" m55s, and upgraded cooling system. Toyota leafs are fully wrapped at perches which is a peace of mind thing for me. All and all, Nothing to serious. I'd estimate 160ft/lbs at the crank 160x1.41x4.88=1100ft/lbs of theoretical torque being delivered. It's all about.hearing and I can't justify losing the fuel economy and ease of maintenance for more speed or comfort.
My girl has a 84 ford 300 and when we use that for towing it doesn't handle it any better but the extra power is definitely nice, the fuel consumption isn't as good and if you don't want it to be horrible you have to go slower then the Toyota. Ford 300 and the Toyota 22r are probably 2 of the best gas engines ever produced. They still have massive aftermarket support and throw down hard when you ask it of them.
@@Jay4.9OBSESSION A 12v Cummins isn't a powerful engine, it's a medium duty industrial engine. I had F650 in my fleet that had a 5.9 full loaded at 26k it struggled with the hills and passes here in Washington, but once it got into a good gear it wouldn't stop pulling at 40mph no matter how much we loaded it. In light duty trucks it's not any better since it's missing a 10 speed and geared for daily driving. The big difference is I wouldn't use a 22r to pull heavy loads everyday or for 12hrs at a time without rebuilding the engine every year. A 6bt I wouldn't have to shut off except to change the oil.
Mine is slow and 4 speed auto seems to be forgetting about it's job sometimes. I don't know much about those trucks I bought it because I heard it's a reliable truck and it is but it is also slow... Maybe it's the gears but all I can do is 50. It can go faster but the engine is quite loud at that speed and I don't have rpm indicator so...
a straight six is the best engine to work on and the straight six is inherently balanced. if you want to a truck to do truck things at the least cost and hassle - ford straight 6.
I got a 92 f150 Superman I got 92 f150 supercab with the 300 inline 6 with the e4od tranmission man I loaded the truck and trailer it was almost 14,000 pounds it pulls like nothing I feel the low rpm Torke it’s slow in the begging but it catch up it’s kinda like a diseal engine but it’s has the cumming is inline 6 the 300 iOS online six it’s kinda the same but the 300 inline 6 is gas ⛽️
I thought 4.10 gears were only available in the 3/4 and 1 ton trucks? I know 3.55, 3.08, and even 2.73 gears were available. The lower the number, the better the gas mileage on the highway. The higher number the better for towing. I had a ‘94 F150 with the straight 6, 5 speed manual, and 3.08 gears that would get 20 mpg empty on the highway.
Oh yes , the newer f150 with a 4 cylinder will outpull this truck as far as SPEED but that’s just because back in the day SPEED was not what vehicles were built for HOWEVER this is a 31 year old truck with over 400,000 miles and still pulls 8,000 pounds like that day it came off the factory line , and I can guarantee you that those newer engines will not be around after 31 years and 400,000 miles still pulling and still strong like these trucks . Thanks for watching !
You should look into the history of the Ford 4.9 inline 6 .. you might be impressed by the story’s and history of this notoriously indestructible motor
As you can see I pull and stop fine .. as long as you keep a safe distance and pay attention nothing will ever happen .. can’t always rely on the vehicle .. you have to rely on the driver as well

Totally agree i have a 93 obs with a 300 attached to a E40D and i can testify to this 💪🏽🤙🏽
I had well over 300k on my 89 ford with the 4.9 when I traded it it but it was still running just fine. Best engine Ford ever made

love these engines
I know about that torque! My 03 S-10 has a 300 FPT from a 4.3L V6 and you get max torque @ between 1200 1400 rpm! Awesome video awesome truck too!

A truck over 30 years old and still doing it! Will the latest trucks today still be around in 30 years, and still be this useful?
I doubt it !
They won't because of all the gimmicky crap and that people won't even work them thay hard anyways.
No not with all the recycled materials used to manufacture them
Nice
I would like to see these old 4.9 gals tow them new F150 "electric" Lightnings after it suffered in floods and towing. Looking at you Hoovey's Garage.
This old gal would embarrass that "Lightning"! 😂😂😂😂
Electric trucks are a bad joke anyways!
And I have a 95 f150 short bed sing can with the 300 inline 6 5 speed manual I load the truck in the box heavy load mam it pull like nothing
I used to pull my 763 Bobcat years ago with my 94 F-250 with the 300 in it. It pulled just fine. Mine was a 5 sad manual though

I want one of these with a manual so badly
What size tire u runing and what gear ratio is your rear end
35s and 4:10
I towed a broken down 79 full size bronco with 35s up hill for 5 miles with my 4.3 Sonoma no problem..
Tow that load at 74 MPH down the express way...
the funny part is it may pull it slower for the first few pulls but after that, the 300 will begin to embarrass it in milage and engine punishment

You probably have plugged cats.
the trailer weighs right at 2300 the truck 5000 cargo 5200 +125000 GVW @ 53 ratio. 18m wheeler @ 93 ratio.
