Hey guys, so in the next couple of months I’m gonna be in the market for a mid 90’s ish f150 but I’m not the most proficient on them. I’m gonna be looking for one to use as a daily and a tow pig. It won’t get a lot of miles annually, probably around the 8-10k mark. When I tow with it I plan on towing a gooseneck camper/flatbed with my ranger on it so maybe 7k at the most.
If I’m not mistaken the f1’s of that period came with three options, the 302, 351 and the straight six.
I can probably rule out the 302 as it will be the least powerful of them. I hear that the 300 i6 is a torque monster but I don’t know anything about those motors and any insight would be appreciated. I assume the 351 would do me fine and it will have plenty of on the shelf parts being a sbf.
Mostly I’m just looking for input between the i6 and the 351 for a truck that won’t see a lot of miles and will tow a few times a year.
This is the type of setup I plan on pulling around.
