FactIn 1986 Ford simplified the F-150's dash by making a full gauge cluster standard on every truck — the tachometer was the only option left, a production shortcut dressed up as an upgrade.
Produced from September 1979 for the 1980–86 model years. A 1982 facelift put the Blue Oval in the grille (still used today) and the four-door crew cab returned in 1983 on the single-rear-wheel F-350; the F-100 ended with 1983, and 1986 was the final year for the column-shifted three-speed manual, making it the second-to-last American vehicle with that transmission design. Engines: a 3.8 Essex V6 (110 hp, 1982–83, standard on the F-100), the 4.9 300 six (125 hp from 1981), the 302 V8 (133 hp, then 190 hp EFI in 1985 — the first Ford light-truck engine with fuel injection), the 351M/351 Windsor V8 (136–150 hp), a 210 hp high-output 351 (1984–86), the 460 V8 (245 hp from 1983) and an International-built 6.9 IDI diesel (150 or 170 hp from 1983); a 400 (153 hp) for HD F-250 and F-350.
