This is a perfect driving video. No crappy music, no yapping, and it shows the view outside instead of just showing the dash cluster, so you get an idea of what things look like if you drive one of these. Perfect set up for a driving video - thanks for this!

I got a 1996 f150 in-line 6 184k Manuel single cab runs like a champ

Strange how much I enjoy watching this. When I was young I bought a bare bones 1986 F150 with the 300 six and a 3 speed automatic. It was new, and not that much money as I recall; even though I had very little, I could still afford it. I remember driving to work with my infant son in the middle, wife on the other side. That truck carried us through a lot of tough times. Today, we're all still well, we're comfortable moneywise and that infant son is a doctor . . . but I still miss those days more than anything. Sad that you can't go back.

Great video 👍 i have a 96 with 448k Miles, I still keep on trucking, bought it brand new in 96. My oldest son is going to be driving next year, thinking about passing the truck to him. They really dont make trucks like they used to. I love the simplicity of my truck, none of the fancy electronics and tv screens. Just a work truck that has served me reliably throughout the years, going to work, hunting, hauling my Small fishing boat, and most importantly never left me stranded. I feel like the big Auto manufacturers doesn't care about the blue caller worker anymore, and won't provide a affordable work truck at a good price. Its all about making the most profit and make a vehicle's that are to complicated that owners can't work on them. Anyway thanks for the great video, glad KZfaq recommended this video. Keep on Trucking.

That. Interior looks clean

Currently own a 1995 short bed reg cab 5 speed f150 with the 4.9L engine and I love it- these trucks are awesome and anyone who recognizes that is good by me. Safe driving everyone!

Had a ‘95 short bed, that 300 coupled with a standard… perfection. Such a smooth driving and shifting combination. Wish I never sold it (damn rust)

Grew up with my dad's '93, with the 300. He sold the plow that was on it, and gave the truck away with it. The thing was rotted to hell, but the guy ended up restoring it entirely, and sold it a number of years later. This past week, I bought an old Asplundh woodchipper with a 300 in it, so I get to hear one in person again

Ahh, remind me of my dads 96 300 manuel. Good job playing the correct music in it

Miss my 94 f150. Sound of the engine brought me right back.

Awesome ride I just bought a 95 f150 today with the 300 6 5 speed

i don't know why, but i watched all of the video.

That cell phone pocket rocks in these trucks! I have no idea what that was supposed to be used for, but it fits my cell and wallet perfectly.

I had one (1996), F-150 XL with 300 I6 and 5 spd, roll down windows and radio/no a/c. Awesome torque and I got decent mileage (23-25 mpg Hwy). One of the best trucks I’ve owned. Sad to let it go.

Thanks for the video! I just bought an '89 f150 with a 300I6. Can't wait to do some work and drive mine!

It's like I'm sitting shotgun! Love this video! I just saved a 93 XL 300 six 2wd from the crusher. And enjoy looking in the bone yards and buying oem parts on ebay. The interior on your truck is beautiful! Now I want to convert to a 5 speed! Lol!!!

I love these old trucks. Bought two identical 1990 F150's last summer with 300's but one has a 5 and the other a 4 speed Borg Warner. The one I'm restoring has a dump bed but you can't tell since it's the original bed, not a flat bed. Nice truck guy.

super clean interior looks taken care of i like it

Just wanted to say I LOVE this video! Looking at getting a 92 f150 with the straight six in a 4 speed, and I think this video really inspired me to get one!

I'm guessing you baby that girl. The interior looks brand new and the 300 purrs. well done!

Engine was amazing

Just bought (another) 93 F150 I6, but auto. My first 93 F150 I6 was the mazda manual though. As others have said, yours looks to be a great condition! There is nothing like the feel of these trucks... I'd been craving to get another and found one for an OK price. Now to begin putting alittle work into it and making it a beast.

88 here 4.9 manual . Needs another paint job and some maintenance, over steering, window rubber ect..but drives great. Clean truck brother

I had a ‘95 F150 XL 300cu w/the 5-speed, 3.31 gears. Long bed regular cab. Had AC and cruise control. That’s all I needed. Had the plastic flooring, no carpet. Easy to clean. Sure miss that thing.

It was shockingly soothing hearing this video

I have a 1994 F150 XL 2wd I6 single cab long bed ive driven a 2014 F250 a 2017 F150 XLT and a 2015 Chevy 1500 the 94 is by far my favorite you get the nice sense of classic with a swing of modern

This makes me want to start my dads 95 manual strait six even more now

Good god that is a beautiful truck. Thank you for sharing. :)

I was looking at buying a 1995 f150 with the I6. Now I know I'm buying it.

That thing is immaculate! Watching with envy as mine has an automatic .....

This is the greatest ear candy ever

Man i love these trucks

14:22 sounds great!

I'm gonna cry! I shoulda bought one of the last of those back when I had a chance! 😭😭😭

I got 93 f150, l6, 5 speed, 2wd with 225k miles. Im not sure about the gear ratio. I love driving it. I get about 18 mpg going 55 mph. I use it to pull my show car around in the summer. All together the car and trailer weighs 5,300 lbs and surprisingly the truck still gets 10-12 mpg. They are also a good firewood hauler.

Man this video is soo calming listening to the engine/shifting and road noise.. Theres a clean Blue 95 f150 with the 300 on craigslist with 185k miles for $2500 im really interested in. I emailed the guy and im hoping he hasn't sold it. Says it runs good and no major issues with it so we'll see if he gets back to me.. fingers crossed

omg the interior

got mine this week in England

Love these trucks. Those manual gearboxes can't be beat in terms of longevity, as long as you know how to clutch correctly. Really sad that Ford moved away from manual F series trucks but I am interested with the news that the new Bronco will have manual gearing.

Mine is cut right after the cat and in my opinion it sounds great, I've never heard a truck like it

Sounds very good

Truck is a classic

I have a 1995 F-150 i6. It’s my first car and I like it so far

I have the '96 F150 Eddie Bauer. 4.9L 300 inline 6. It's a beast. Not much horsepower but doesn't lack in the torque department. Now I'm having cross fill problems in the dual fuel tanks. Front tank is filling rear tank to the point the rear tank is overflowing. Love these trucks so I hope i fix it soon.

Good engines

I was trying to read one of the road signs, and accidentally discovered that it makes for great techno music if played at .25 speed!

I like the driver side mirror mod

just picked up my 2nd ford f series the first one i got was an old beat up farm truck that just doesnt quit shes a 89 f250 custom with the 4.9 shes a tuffy. the new one i got today is a 94 f150 with the 4.9

Thanks for the video, might potentially be getting one, 89 f-150, straight 6, extended cab short bed, 4x4 5 speed and selling my 91 v6 3.0 5spf ranger

I got a 96 xlt I just picked up I love these trucks and that radio station sounds remarkably close to here

I love my 1990 F150

Like the music choice

I miss my Ford...been driving a Toyota four runner a while now....I really want to get it back up and running🤘😁🤘

Long ago I had a 1980 F-100 regular cab, 300 6 cylinder motor with 4 speed manual. 4th was overdrive. It had about 140K on it when I got rid of it in 1987. The motor was great, not fast but plenty of torque. The rest of the truck fell apart. There was always at least 3 things to be fixed. Before I could fix the all the minor things, another major item would pop up.

Appreciate it, we have the same truck but mines a 93 with 4x4

I have 89 f150 manuel inline 6 its fun just have to fix the shifter bushing

i daily drive my 95 ford f150 with the ford 300 I6 E4OD automatic transmission, currently have 380k on the motor, sadly trans went out around 360k, so had that rebuilt. still runs like a dream.

That’s nice, you should straight pipe it, those i6s sound good like that.

I lol'd at that speedo reaching its end at around 5:25

ive got the same truck jsut 4x4 literally had the cats removed today lol. mine sounds just like it i thought there was still a exhaust leak but i guess thats how they sound lol. love the stright 6 they are awsome as hell idc if it only makes 95 horse lol

I have auto i6. Love it. 350k on the original, starting to die on me.

I've got a 94 2wd long bed 300 i6 but it's an e4od, I need to open up the exhaust a bit to get this. I've got the 3.08 rear end as well and wanting to swap for maybe 3.50:1

Im jealous of the 5 speed. The t18 is cool but i long for better mileage

Nice ride. Had one of those and miss it. You can replace some plastic gear box mechanism and tighten the shifting and replace the rubber plugs on the mazda box, which always leak and destroy the tranny. I bought it with 2.73 gears which were howling and dropped in 3.35 or something and it was so much better to drive and clutch. That engine with all new ignition components took a big timing advance without a problem.

i got a 88 with 4.9 300 and a np435 4 speed granny low 2wd.

Your vid just saves me from selling my 96 l6 300 4x4 auto

Good for you , you do not ride the clutch at the red light

I gotta 95 with the 300 5 speed with only 100k and it drives amazing

I would love to get one of these for my first vehicle, but it's kinda hard to find a 4wd manual config. I'll probably just end up getting a ranger, but even then there hate to find

Wish I had gotten an XL instead of the Eddie Bauer edition but it’s still a great truck regardless

Sounds good! Did you delete both cats, or just the rear? I've got a bone stock 4.9 truck, and am considering a little exhaust tweaking...

How do you find towing is with these? I'm looking at a 90 300 manual and I wont be towing often but I will probably be buying a 1973-1977 ford f150 in the near future and was wondering if it would be able to handle that tow? I now it depends on the rear axle gearing to but im just curious if you've ever towed anything close to that weight.

I got the 88 4.9 5 speed myself.

What kind of rpms do you pull on the highway going around 70? Thinking about buying one.

i want this truck so bad

Pretty rainy out eh

If you ever have problems with your inner door handles snapping like i do the handles off the previous gen are steel with a chrome finish and will work

Do you know the exact name of the muffler? I have the straight 6 and I'd like it to sound similar. Also props on driving a 5 speed most people cannot drive half as well as they say they do but your driving is smooth.

Nice truck, I really like the 4.9 inline. What kind of mpgs do you see?

Are you able to slide the seat forward when it is the one full bench seat style? I am not very tall so I have often wondered this.

Those engines are tanks, would take that over the v8 in 89-90

I'm looking at 94 5 speed 4.9. Anything I should look at for specifically? Hoping to buy it this week

I have a 2003 sport Trac with a five speed is it the Mazda five-speed same as the 150

How’s this compare to a 85 f150 I6?

Was it hard mounting the Mazda 5spd? What kinda mileage are you managing to get with the gearing?

Mine has 4:10 gearing can you tell me what that means exactly?

Years later and yet again I'm watching this video, my 89 is parked with a bad slave cylinder and I ain't gonna fix it. Miss driving my 300 six. I can't see good enough or have the patience to repair it and the shop I talked to about it just ghosted me to the next customer so goodbye to the ferd.

How loud is the interior with the turbo muffler you have?

Your truck sounds nice. How did you mate up the Mazda 5 speed? I mean are the bolt patterns the same or did you have to run an adapter plate?

What is your engine RPM while idling? My '96 with the 5spd likes 1100 ish.... Not sure if that's normal or what I could check out to bring those RPMs down.

What exhaust are you running? I’m thinking about putting a super 44 on my 4.9..

how were these with an automatic? Any good? Being in the rust belt probably won't find any of these around.

WHat MPG do you average on that truck?

Not thats its any of my business, how much did the transmission rebuild cost?

how did u figure out what transmission u have. I got the 4.9 with 3.55. I did hear between certain years the Mazda transmission came standard tho don't know how much of that I believe to be true

What type of muffler does that have?

How do you get your cup holder mounted on the seat like that?

I was thinking of trading my 03 Silverado 5.3 4x4 for one of these in mint condition... Worth it?

Weird question, but how tall are you? I'm 6'1 and wondering if I'd be comfortable in a reg cab. You look like you have plenty of room.

the 5 speed seems nice but i can't do one
