So here's the deal. I'm trying to find a bigger truck. Something with an 8 foot bed and some pulling power, because I don't like leaving my bike in the bed of the ranger with the tailgate down. I also need more power because if I hit small hills, the ranger won't go faster than 45 when it's empty. Even the weight if the bike slows it down.
I'm looking at a 1983 F-250, but the only horsepower ratings I can find for that time period are on wikipedia, and they say that the 302 only gets 130hp and 222lb/ft of torque, and my ranger gets 140/190. Has anyone had an f-series from that time frame that can tell me if they have any power, or will they be worse than the ranger?
