Description of Ford Truck taken from Wikipedia "The Ford F-Series is a series of light-duty trucks and medium-duty trucks (Class 2-7) that have been marketed and manufactured by Ford Motor Company since 1948. While most variants of the F-Series trucks are full-size pickup trucks, the F-Series also includes chassis cab trucks and commercial vehicles.
The most popular version of the F-Series is the Ford F-150, produced in thirteen different generations. It has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States since 1981 and the best-selling pickup since 1977.[1][2] It is also the best selling vehicle in Canada.[3]
In 1999, to bridge the gap between the pickup line and the medium-duty trucks, the F-250 and F-350 were redesigned separately with the introduction of the Ford Super Duty series. Currently, the F-Series includes the F-150, the Super Duty (F-250 through F-550), and F-650 and F-750 Super Duty medium-duty commercial trucks.
Through rebadging, the F-Series has sold through all three divisions of Ford Motor Company in North America. The Mercury M-Series was sold in Canada from 1946 to 1968 due to the limited dealership network in rural areas. The Lincoln Blackwood and Lincoln Mark LT were rebadged versions of the Ford F-150 sold during the 2000s as Lincoln attempted to market a luxury pickup truck."l .

Wow i didn't realize there was a time when commercials would actually make you want to buy something. I totally want an 80's Ford pickup now.
GeneralLee131 me neither, and I hate ford for that pos ecobich, but I want a old ford now lol.
same
I'm still driving my 87. Good truck, man.
Best body style they ever discontinued.
Back then a Lariat was like 20k, not the 70k it is today.
Yeah no kidding
Ok what did I learn today?
a) Independent Front Suspension
b) 80's car commercials were actually good
c) I know what type of truck I want
Ford cheap brand with gm parts
Gm had independent suspension in the 50s along with 4x4 self-locking disc brakes Ford only in the 80s
Independent front suspension is what killed Real Four Wheel drive and Ford trucks.
Straight axle was the best 4x4 .
I did own an 83 F-100 3 on the tree. 300 six cylinder. 2 wheel peel
I would love to have another..
@@haleroofing8150 the 300 engine was also a copy of the chevrolet 292 of the 58 or the 194 the same as the v12 of the 50 it was copied in 94 the ford
FORD BUILT TOUGH
Ford: let’s throw it off a plane
Chevy: let’s throw a tool box on it
A toolbox...Really?
Why is this true?
Yeah it's true
Chevy threw a toolbox on one there truck beds and got damaged badly it was funny
Chevy: let's talk shit about a competitor using aluminum bodies.
Also Chevy: lets build cars out of plastic
Elias Silva your gonna need a tool box for the Chevy when it breaks down
Me: complains about a five seconds add in a different video.
Also me: hmmm a 10 minutes video of commercials from the 1980's? Sounds good
But these are commercials we want to watch.
🤣 i get you
Yeah but these commercials are so much better
These are probably hank hills favorite commercials
Hank does seem partial to Fords.
Literally all I could think about 90% of this video.
I tell u what.
👌
“Yup”
who knew a box would be aerodynamic
Serg hurts it’s the 80’s
my ass is more aerodynamic the any of those trucks
I laughed so hard when they said it had aerodynamic design😂
@@punker4Real especially when it's blowing hot air out of it.
@@Bobby_Behm aerodynamics isn't just knife shaped

Well, one new american manufacturer decided to experiment with *gasp* triangles, and everyone is shocked
@Corey Fisher I dont think you understand the use of a joke. stop trying to shit on other peoples fun because you are a worthless piece of shit and you know it, get a life bitch.
@@firenado4295 oof
@@lemonmaster8933 oof indeed
Jez someone is salty. Aerodynamics is the properties of a solid object regarding the manner in which air flows around it. Maybe the 1980s Ford trucks are more aerodynamic than older models, but it's funny because it's not at all aerodynamic by today's standards.
I don't know how many of you noticed, but those Fords had independent front suspension!
WOW I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT. Even tough the man kept saying it in every comercial
Mario Gillette. they are junk. when you park and backup. toe in and out is screwed up
Mario Gillette it's the only selling point
My opinion is that if you want a 4 by 4 you want a solid front axle it just makes more sense
the drop off was only like 5 feet
What i liked the most was the lack of a stupid professional driver closed course do not attempt message
Ass face

Ahh the good ol' days, when a truck was a TRUCK
Yup with leaf springs in the front
joseph games and rode like a goddamn Roman chariot. But at least you knew it was strong. 😀
joseph games leafs in the front 🤮
Matt leaf springs were good
Greg Mercil that was the whole point not like today were your at 100,000 miles and the thing just gives out on you
its a shame therers not commercial like this any commercials like this anymore. all the commercials nowadays are about how big there computer dash display is, and how nice the seats feel. what a shame,
JNJdestruction I know mate. I seriously doubt modern vehicles in general will outlast these old Ford's.
don't forget the foot-censored doors
JNJdestruction i
why does it say the f150s would get 30mpg highway and my 96 f150 gets 17highway
could be your fuel filter
Whether you like Chevy or any other manufacturer, you have to love these commercials.
Bring back a diesel ranger
Can't wait for the new ranger or bronco
A true petrol-head not in America they come back to the us in 2020 I think
Lol they have to recall and repair all of the one's they already built.
@silverbird58 what?
We have diesel ranger in NZ and Oz dunno where else it's sold though
I’m gonna head to Home Depot and try the block climb.
I'm in FL and my local Home Depot removed theirs.
It's funny to watch the gas mileage go down every year.
...And gas prices go up
Had to laugh, both the Ranger and the F-150 were the same and note in the one commercial, it's an F-250 doing the climbing with the Chev on back pulling the Dodge. :-)
You should see how much gas mileage my 89 F350 with a 460 gets 🤑
This is why I love the Cybertruck. It brought is right back to when Trucks were actually useful.
@@jd_kreeper2799 I'm not sure what you mean by useful but I used to want to V8 swap my gmc Sonoma, but after watching muscle and luxury cars refuse to even line up next to a Tesla at a drag race, I knew electric restomod is the only way to go. I won't do it until they make a retrofit where the motors are part of the rear Axle. I don't want any of the original drive terrain. I won't mind paying up for that.
We're going to haul a chevy while towing this dodge and a gmc too 😂😂😂
FordMan8801 with a Toyota on its back.
They still do that today
They forgot toyota
I love how aerodynamic the ford cabover is. It's a BRICK, but it's aero!
Seriously.
It's as aerodynamic as an elephant.
xtemplarx lmbo bro I was on the floor
it's not as aerodynamic as your awesome afro!
xtemplarx if you look at any of the cabovers back in the 80s Peterbilt Kenworth Freightliner this was the most aerodynamic truck
we had a ford cl 9000 loved that thing
Ever notice how there are so many old fords from the 80s and 90s still on the road? Wonder where all the chevys are
They made it back home
John Bosley the Chevys were recycled into new metal to make the fords
@@jronwhitney7388 🤣🤣.....man I miss big body steel trucks 🙁
John Bosley. chevys were to raggedy back then and still r
Junk yards. And scrap steel for new Fords.
No I beams were warped in the making of this Video.
Chevy: "look at that Gay tailgate step on the F150 " , twenty years later , Chevy engineers : "Hey , lets put an over-engineered tail gate step on our 3rd best selling truck !
🤣🤣🤣
Northlander just because something is best selling doesn’t mean it’s the best look at McDonald’s
Yamaha Guy17 you do know that food is based on quick decision, right? With cars, people have choose with diligence. If you choose food the same way you choose your car, then I feel sorry for who you end up dating.
That multi step tailgate from GM becomes immediately usless as soon as you put a trailer hitch in the rear. They never thought that the step function would hit the hitch 😂😂😂
Dodge should have kept making the 440 and the 426 Hemi for their trucks then Dodge would have been the best selling pick up Not Ford
The modern commercials are for sissies.
AXHEJAZ Modern vehicles in general are for sissies.
CJ Colvin really? A car with 1000 bhp that can go over 300 mph is for sissies? Yeah because a ford gt or a koenigsegg one:1 is for sissies. So much torque it will rip you in half
Dr.P_Games Vehicles today are not only overpriced but they look hideous and ugly, so complicated to work on, made out of plastic, and lack soul and character as well and I seriously doubt they'll outlast my 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L (302) Windsor V8.
Dr.P_Games he means modern everyday vehicles. No one is driving around super cars as daily drivers
CJ Colvin
Chevy's response: let's drop a tool box in it
Jonathan Valencia and it went through the shitty aluminum
Jonathan Valencia. just remolded beer cans.
Did you guys see the "debunk" video where you see that they drop the point on the bed of the ford but the flat part on the chevy
Wow I didn't know ford had that independent front suspension on the 4x4 F series.
And what happened? Exactly.
I miss those 3-level two-tone paint jobs!
I miss those twin-i-beam suspensions!
They back budro 💪💪💪
Man commercials! Now it's all sissy boys and feminists commercials
Commercials today are great of you want lipstick and tampons. And are a dude
I know right! They seem to do their best to make everything appeal to pussys lol
I havent seen a ford commercial in years but i dont watch tv anymore
Truck commercials now are crew cabs with 4 foot beds and Nancy boys that want cup holders, iPad ports, leather seats, etc.
Obamaism is a plague .
I wasn’t born around this time but I’m guessing all car commercials were like the fast and furious franchise
Most of them were
you could do a MythBusters episode with every one of these commercials
Pretty much
Season
biker932012 it’s called a manual. And any ford of that year bigger than a 351w has plenty of power to do it.
Chevy did some BS log load pull about the same time, they forgot to mention it was down hill, Ford on the other hand could plausibly pull off any one of those stunts, Hel I've done the equivalent in my own trucks hauling fire wood out of BFE or pulling stuck machinery out of mud holes, the trucks take it and keep going... chevy's not so much
The CL9000, aerodynamic? I don’t think so.
Sure you might think it has the drag coefficient of an upright pack of cigarettes, but look at the aero rake on that windshield. Might as well be a GT-40
sedanchair. Hey, you have a good point.
Nah man it just pushed the air out of the way
@@SedanChair It's tilted back about 5 degrees. Imagine the fuel savings!
chevy must have laughed when they seen how many of their trucks ford had purchased.
Dennis gt. they needed to get to work.
Sorry im just dying of laughter hold on
Dennis gt all rentals lol
Yes but consider how many more FORD trucks were sold because of the commercial. All they had to do was buy a few chevy trucks here and there. Then on top of that, they totally shit on the chevy brand, likely decreasing sales, to a certain extent. So I'm not too sure GM were laughing...
At least ford could afford to buy those Chevys lol . Unlike GM getting bailed out by the government every so often .
Wasn't too long ago when you could talk shit about your competitors by name. The good old days.
Nowadays if Ford says "compared to Chevrolet" they're gonna end up with a 2 million dollar lawsuit. I know that company names are important and shouldn't be used by others, but everyone's acting like 11 year olds just because they mentioned their name

Personally, I like the name "Nissan" more than I do "Datsun." I drive an '01 Nissan Frontier. I think that once Nissan merged with Renault, their quality went way down. I would refuse to buy any used Nissan after 2004.
LOL the Semi Truck is essentially a god damned brick flying through the air. So theyre like...uhhh just tell them its more aerodynamic and draw some blue arrows everywhere. That'll prove it to them.
Slug Jones
Yes aerodynamic brick
Slug Jones lol the other day i saw one of those big rigs and was like and the Ford marketing team said its aerodynamic.
Actually Cabovers at the time were more areodymantic than conventials were.
Slug Jones I can't read the comment without laughing about it being a brick
Slug Jones im a huge ford guy but this is fucking hilarious!

It's a very aerodynamic box.
Yeah huh? So now were gonna see fire trucks that say “aerodynamic” (only flat cabs i can think of rn)
"Actual highway mileage less."
That's one hell of a disclaimer!

@The Gooberment-Sucks Even at 55mph a 1980s F150 wont get anywhere near 29mpg.
OsakaBancho ok that makes more sense before i saw your comment I was wondering how these big trucks shaped like bricks get better gas mileage than my 96 thunderbird
@@EconomyElk Dont kid yourself, they werent getting 20+ mpg at 55mph either. Probably didnt have any EPA testing guidlines to follow back then so they could probably make up any number they wanted to.

Billy bob Plays chevy is junk, always will be, they are stuck in the past with their pushrod engines and went bankrupt in 2008 because they dont sell enough units in a year, the last good chevy was a 2007 lbz duramax, nothing since then, they aren’t as bad as dodge was with their trans problems but the 4l60e was junk and the 4l80e wasnt much better 🤷♂️🤷♂️ and now chevy is putting 4 cylinder engines in half tons! Thats like a crime in the truck community! Fords v6 makes more horsepower and torque than a chevy 5.3! Chevy needs to step up their game alot and start by making a truck that’s affordable, good dyno numbers and reliable! Im a ford guy at heart, but trust me i dont hate chevy, i just hate their fan boys and their mentality

The new bronco could probably do the log and rock stuff.
can't wait to see it I have a 2017 ford escape right now but would love a bronco later in life if its still around of course lol
I REALLY MISS THOSE OLD 70’s & 80’s auto commercial

4:33 LOL "aerodynamically designed"
When trucks were real trucks not a phone on 4 wheels with to much shit you don't need
My 94 150 is still on the road pushing 400,000 on the original engine best truck I ever had also love the 90s jeeps 80's and 90's era trucks are build so much stronger then they are today I'll never buy the new versions they are to complicated when something goes wrong it's all computerized and most have sealed units like imports it's just to keep people from doing the work themselves that's why they make them like shit and charge you a fortune so you keep coming back I guess not enough people would bring older trucks into dealship to fix so maybe they lost money In that area and had to compromise
ken smith yeah its called planned obsolescence they put all these electronics in them and all electronics will break down over time then your stuck going back to Ford to get ripped of at The dealer.
1 of the 20 or so sensors go out.
Also darn ignition coils that cost more than a set of spark plug wires, spark plugs and wipers.
29mpg highway? Why does my 2017 f150 get 26mpg highway?
TroutFink regulations
Na they're we're full of shit back then. There's no set up that would get that millage of that era in these fords
Trucks were 1000-1500 lbs lighter back then and also the national highway speed limit was 55 mph.
I drove a total of 140 miles on 15.00 in gas with my 88 bronco ii going 75 mph
TroutFink new trucks are fucked
Savage lol I love it. I want an 86' ranger now lol
Man this dumb video got me all hyped up! I almost got beat up by my neighbor because i was trying to put his chevy in the back of my ford pickup...🤔...
Are we gonna ignore it got 29mpg high way?
Commercials WAY over estimated fuel economy in those days for some reason, I had a 1990 F-150 with a 302 V8 as my first truck in high school back in 2004 an don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the truck, but fuel efficient it was not, city mpg was around 13ish and on the highway 15mpg was pretty normal, 16 was doable with a slight tailwind, and it only did that good because it had the AOD 4-Speed auto overdrive transmission, had a friend who had a nearly identical 302 powered 1987 model with the C6 3-Speed auto and his mileage on the highway sometimes in the single digits.
I never got, or get that kind of mileage out of a Ford truck or Bronco. They were always overestimated back then.
But it really didn't. The testing for fuel economy back then was B.S. Hence why you see the later models boasting a much lower fuel economy. It's not because the technology got worse on the vehicles, it's because the testing standards got more strict.
@@nathanmcdonald610 That actually isn't terrible for that truck. Heck, my 2103 Frontier V6 only gets about 18-19. You might scratch 20-21 in straight highway miles. Gets closer to 16 in the snow. The manufacturer lists it as 18/26. No way you could even get close to that with A/T tires, which I have. Maybe, MAYBE with shallow tread summer road tires on straight highway usage on cruise control pegged right at 65 you could get 26 mpg. Maybe. Trucks just get lousy mileage and everyone knows that so I don't know why manufacturers try to fool people.
Digital Footballer lol 2103? I think we would all be dead by then and cars would be floating electric plastic

Yes, up until 1986 or 1987. Was a very rare combination. I've only seen 1 and it was in a scrap yard :(.
William Todd it was a Mitsubishi diesel. My Grandfather had one on the ranch for a few years.

Find 96 model with low mileage. Not an easy search.it was the end of that design. No frills just tough as nails.
I tend to think the 1973 - 1979 were the better trucks of that era. Dang sure was not the 1980 model year......the F-150; F-250; F-350...and even the Bronco all had "swiss cheese" frames. Virtually impossible to find ANY 1980 Ford model year trucks on the road.
I have an 87 F150 10 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend. It has all kinds of electrical issues and drinks oil like BP wants it back
@@michaellee8442 Although I do not doubt your comment.....statements like this are meaningless unless quantified with some details.....engine type? mileage? maintenance records? etc. Same is true with Chevrolet, GMC and Dodge trucks. That said...there are certain models and certain years of those models that all 3 manufacturer's have made that are both 'good' and 'bad' vehicles.
Two45s its an 87 lariat xlt 5.0 v8, 4 spd auto 2wd drive actual mileage unknown some where between 71,898 and 471,898

seoulkidd1 wasn’t it tho? wish I still had it, that was a mistake selling that.

Bradley Stone HELL NO! lol More like 10-16 MPG. i’m over here mind blown by how much they lied about MPG!
@@00700556 well I figured the leaded gas made some difference in mileage too. I know they got a little better mileage with that leaded gas but I don't think it would be that much better
7:13 i wish ford could still say that, every dam f150 i see has an ecoboost badge on it, but hey times change
They don't sound nearly as musical and the mileage isn't much better, but they produce less emissions, that's what ut's all about nowadays
honestly I've seen tons of "new" trucks that haven't seen an hour of hauling or towing, we all know that big trucks arent for work anymore, it's for daddys money squatted bro-dozers, and they dont need any of the cool stuff like 4wd or v8s because they spend their entire lives in car show parking lots and scrap yards after the engine gets deprived of oil from being tilted back for so long
Road salt. Ford's Kryptonite. :(
here in México You se more 70's, 80's Fords than Chevys or Dodge
Steven Perez Si, in Monterrey Mexixo Rangers and 80s ford still ford tough (;
When I was in Veracruz, I saw the latest (2017) Ford Rangers everywhere. Rangers aren't sold in the States.
In Jalisco you can see a lot of Dodges from the 70's
But you see more 90s chevys than fords.
Same thing here. Almost any pickup from 60s 70s 80s 90s is a Ford pickup. Chevy you'll see every now and the from the enthusiast who has restored one, but none of them are running original. Dodge is non existent.
It's interesting how much they harp on the gas mileage, yet today when gas mileage is a much bigger issue they are totally moot on the issue.
Yeah I see what you mean but back then it was because of high gas prices instead of emissions
These commericals are actually awesome i love how each commercial tried to top the previous one, also who knew a ford had independent front susoension! :p
I love my bullnose, but that old 351 DOES NOT get 23mpg!
Kyle Martin I don’t think they meant the 351 Windsor lol because it gets 15. The 5.0 liter could maybe get 20 and the 6 cylinder has always gotten the same as the 5.0liter
They used to have lead in the gas. These numbers were based with lead gas I presume
The Gooberment-Sucks true I never took it above 65 on the highway unless absolutely necessary, it screams at 70 but I put 34k on the old beast last year traveling for work and I can agree it’s definitely a purpose built 55mph rig
The inline 6 does
Something doesn't seem right about the chevy in the back of the ford...dont you think the truck would slide off going up the bumpy hill?
Dusty Diede it's just marketing but it worked.
Shit stay stuck to almost anything pretty good.
Probably welded it.
Dusty Diede they built a bracket in box that was bolted to frames of both trucks
I'm a Chevy guy but I appreciate this commercial🙌🏼😂
I like and will only drive Ford Chevy GMC Dodge trucks. I love american trucks! I would never drive a toyota tundra nissan titan or any other truck!
@@richardr7947 yes sir💪🏽🇺🇸. I do like ford pickup trucks just older generation🤗. Like all vehicles😎
Chevy boys but this comercial is cool
Yes and you love it more when he hull a Chevy and pull a doge and gmc hahaha that was Hilarious
Me too
this shall be my first car 🙃
I love my 84 bronco, it was an absolute tank.
My father and grandfather always swore they were Chevy men but since my childhood neither of them ever drove anything but Fords. I guess that makes me a Ford man by proxy. I had a couple of Chevys after years of driving nothing but Fords and they just felt cheap to me. I just couldn't get over the snap together interior, unlike Ford, which had screws in everything.
noone dogs out their product to prove a point anymore...that's sad now we will never see the capabilities of products anymore.
Was expecting boring but I love how over the top the commercials are. Awsome!
I've seen Chevy Silverado 1500's do things the biggest Ford's only dream of doing....
And this is why its been the best selling truck since 1981
supposedly 1977
Back when commercials were cool and not boring af
im pretty sure its fake, but holy shit the truck hauling trucks in the bed and towing them is impressive
I don't think its fake.
Ryan Murray but you could see the suspension bounce as it climbed the mountain
Rhett Str
It wasnt fake. This was before CGI work was reasonably priced enough to use for commercials.
Naturally, they secured the other truck to the Ford. Also likely that the chevy had no engine or transmission, there is no way that even the f350 suspension would have been able to handle the 4000+ lb chevy without sagging to the bumpstops....not even gonna mention how top heavy it would have been.
Still very cool advertising especially considering how corny commercials really were back then. As far as the towing goes, you can pull just about anything on a flat surface with just about anything. Witness the strongman competitions where one 300lb man pulls an 80000lb truck. So a 5000lb ford pickup pulling 48000lb worth of chevy pickups is no problem....but stopping is the problem. :)
You could have pulled those 12 chevys with a bicycle if you geared it down low enough and had good leg muscles lol
twoeightythreez i was kind of figuring it either wasnt a complete truck, or it wasnt a stock ford
These are interesting commercials....they were actually enjoyable to watch.
The fact that it was really done and not made with a green screen and a computer is so refreshing, despite how unrealistic it really is.
There is no way a stock F series, even the F350, would be able to safely amd comfortably carry a 3800lb chevy pickup on top of the bed rails....i have the feeling that the chevy was a bare body and chassis. It was still heavy as the fords body flex proves, but not that heavy.
Another of these shows a base model f150 carrying a toyota on its bed.
Obviously the payload was exceeded and again, no stupid disclaimers.
Lawyers werent so readily used in 1983.....very refreshing.
3:37 look at that body tweak in and out. cab vs bed.
That is because the frame is not a full box, it is designed to flex. If you drive one off road or on a bumpy road it makes it smoother.
After this year's I won't to ask the work group for this video about this shit 😂
Legendary voice-over artist Don Morrow on most of these ads.
"New aerodynamic design to save fuel". literally has the aerodynamics of a barn.
21 to 31 mpg my ass LOL, you'd be lucky to get 16 to 18 mpg with these older pickups
My 300 6 cylinder gets 18 highway so yeah they’re full of shit but hey it’s still better than most new pickups 😂
SKULL0FD3ATH nope it’s a tumor wrong. The 5.0 liter v8 and the 4.9 liter 6 cylinder both got 21. And I have a friend with a 2.9 liter bronco II and he says on highway it gets 27. And it gets less because it’s a bronco it’s heavier
Ford made lots of bogus MPG claims back then. They're still the best older trucks, though.
More like 8 or 10
But Sunny your almost new truck has alot more parts that need to be replaced.
It cancels out any money saved on gas. The repairs makes it even more expensive.
The only thing that lasts longer now is the spark plugs.
Man I've been looking for these rare commercials forever. Thank you so much. I'm an avid Ford lover ;)
4:06 best suspension back in the day..
Lol the frame bent when they dropped it
Ann Lee yea laws of physics...
Jorge Pulido bent frame = totaled
Ann Lee At least they tested it and made a good commercial even 40 years later there considered America's best trucks.
Ann Lee the front and the rear are seperate parts conected it is not bending the frame
the trucks back then had full frames, they wern't unibody like they are today
“Some terrific pounding huh?”
