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
Truck Commercials: we got aerodynamics
everyone else: that is literally a brick
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.
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
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
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
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
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”
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
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

I’m gonna head to Home Depot and try the block climb.

Whether you like Chevy or any other manufacturer, you have to love these commercials.
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 am brazilian and i love the america and pickups. Nostalgic years. Please, don't let america lose its essence
don't worry I see more older trucks on the road than newer especially bricknoses
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.
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
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 wasn’t born around this time but I’m guessing all car commercials were like the fast and furious franchise
Most of them were
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
I miss those 3-level two-tone paint jobs!
I miss those twin-i-beam suspensions!
They back budro 💪💪💪
"Actual highway mileage less."
That's one hell of a disclaimer!
@silverbird58 Then he has the only full size non hybrid truck in the world capable of it
@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.
"Your mileage may vary"
No I beams were warped in the making of this Video.
I REALLY MISS THOSE OLD 70’s & 80’s auto commercial
i miss cars 80's
Man these commercials bring back memories
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.
My grandpa has a 72 Ford f-250 high boy. With a 460 and 4 speed. Never replaced a part. Original Ford air conditioning, original paint, original interior. He is 78 now, and still uses it every day. Built Ford tough.
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.
Commercials used to be this cool. I wish they were still like this.
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!
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
7:01 my fav commercial ever
Chevys are better
@@eugene_6925 no
Landon earnest are you sure about that
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
WK_Paws you have a point
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 .
My dad always had to call me to pick him up in my ford when his chevy broke!👍
Always had to put orange stickers on highway Fords when they broke down
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

Back when there was still Datsun 😔
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.
Damn the roasting with Chevy over the years tho 😂
Truthfully I wish they would fire back at Chevy more often these days, nowadays Ford adds are very informational ''We have best in class this and that'' but they almost never take shots at the competition anymore.
@@nathanmcdonald610 The fact that they cant build a solid V8 without breaking within 100,000 miles is probably the answer to your question. Source: 2004 F350, 2015 F250.
4:33 LOL "aerodynamically designed"
I'm 66 years old and I remember all of these commercials and owned several of these trucks.
No one:
Absolutely no one:

2:15 aerodynamic design? It’s literally a box

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)
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...🤔...
I fucking love the 81-86 F150s.
One of my favorite trucks ever.
I can't wait to climb a mountain of logs tomorrow.
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.
Savage lol I love it. I want an 86' ranger now lol
Did you see how "aerodynamic" those big square 81 Fords were? Ready to take on the 80's!!
I love my 84 bronco, it was an absolute tank.
Man I've been looking for these rare commercials forever. Thank you so much. I'm an avid Ford lover ;)
Love the cinderblock mountain. I would love to see how new trucks would do with that. I had an 87 with a 300 I6, best vehicle I’ve ever had. Extremely dependable
Yea that 300 was a good engine
seoulkidd1 wasn’t it tho? wish I still had it, that was a mistake selling that.
The CL 9000 has aero dynamics! A brick shape! With the added effects to show the aerodynamics! I want one now!
Watching these commercials in the 80’s helped me to buy Ford trucks in the 2000’s.
Was expecting boring but I love how over the top the commercials are. Awsome!
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
"New aerodynamic design to save fuel". literally has the aerodynamics of a barn.
Ford: Carrying literally a car to have better traction
Viewers: *surprized pikachu face*
glad I had a Ford ad before the video started lol
IA Vagabond because they support gay rights
Carla Rodgers what does that have to do with anything?
Carla Rodgers your a little late to the party dumbass
And please tell me where you found that ford supports gay rights, so far you've only tried to make up crap.
Ford Fan01 The internet knows what you watch so if your watching fords commercials they sell it to marketers and show you adds for what you watch.
charger master Ummmmm, okay?? Thanks for the info. I guess...
I own a 97 ford explorer and that thing is so underrated it's been anywhere literally the perfect combination of comfort and off roading capabilities
I live in the U.K. and I want an 83 FORD RANGER because they’re built FORD TOUGH - I love these American adverts, they kick you right in the nuts and when you double up, again in the head. They certainly knew their target customer, and how to take the fight to the competition 👍
Commercials were so cool back then what happened. Love the old school for trucks!
I love these F150 pickups! too bad they don't make them like this Anymore.
Cade Ramsey yeah Ford kinda had no choice otherwise some people will complain about it looking like its still in 1980 but I don't see why not If Dodge can get away with it with the challenger. Still looking like 1970 I don't know.why Ford doesn't give us a 1980-1996 boxy style ford f150 retro body as a option.
Best truck ever 🇺🇸
2:16 😂 “lightweight and aerodynamic” the cl 9000 has the aerodynamics of my house 😂. Those 90 degree bends in the digital aero stream made me lose it, I laughed so hard.

Caleb Morris I have one for sell it's a 85 f150 4x4 JK its my baby
And this is why its been the best selling truck since 1981
supposedly 1977
I remember most of these commercials! That was the days when trucks were tough and the cheapest thing on the car lot.
Try that in a new Ford.
William Todd it would rip appart
my 97 would withstand it, my 06 ehhh.....i dont want to think of the price of new parts
the new ones are actually really fuckin tough, not like the old ones, but they can take a beating too
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
First Time i had fun watching adds 😂😂
These commercials really were very convincing. They need to make commercials like this again.
Legendary voice-over artist Don Morrow on most of these ads.

Omg. I remember seeing all these commercials as a youngster. Like the james bond theme music in some of them
twin I beams were the greatest innovations in truck history
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
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
Have to air down going up that cinder block mountain. That truck was bouncing all over the place!! LOL
Ford F-series have been the #1 selling fullsize pickups since 1977.
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
todays commercials is just about Chevy Silverado that fucks around with ford f150 about its aluminum body
Love classic trucks, hope to buy one and keep it all original.
Crazy how much better the gas mileage was back then
New trucks wouldn't take this abuse
Bullshit ..
New trucks are for glamping!
New trucks aint for work anymore
@@antonioederlopezlopez7341 Really? Alot of fleets use Tacomas and Frontier's
@@mauricemotors8207 really
I see a lot of comments on people seeing more old Chevy's than Ford's. I've been in the Automotive business for 35 years and after about 10 years when upkeep becomes a factor on any truck the difference is not durability, but cost. Chevy's are cheaper to keep going than Ford or Dodge. Always have been. Also, a much higher percentage of Fords are bought for work than GM's. In my experiences Ford's are excellent trucks, especially when abused. The people that have the audacity to talk about Toyota trucks, what are they used for? CPA's driving to the office everyday and having someone come our and wash and wax them once a week.
1LOCKNLOAD Toyota trucks are nice if you live in a crowded city area and are tight on cash ... especially if you don't haul enough to justify a biger truck.
On problem thse era trucks had is the ignition control module would crap out and its really hard to diagnose. Not crapping on them i have one but we almost did scrap it because we couldnt figure out why it wouldnt start but luckily a last minute googling saved it and its running fine now
1LOCKNLOAD I've owned every brand and am a mechanic an I can definitely say Toyota>GM>Ford>Dodge (Usually). Toyota's you don't even fuck with. GMs you just take care of the normal shit past 100,000k like starters, alternators, fuel pumps, ect. Ford's, depending on the engine, are great but have the same issues as GM with the additional random headache that usually takes breaking more shit to be able to fix the one thing, they just feel more "temperamental". The ones from the 80s were great but the new ones from 97 on are complete shit that I could fold like paper. Dodges just completely fall apart to the point we're I don't even trust the bed of the truck to stay on. All have pretty solid engines for the most part but if I were buying just an engine obviously I'd buy an LS anything. One thing I can also say about any of my GM cars as no matter how bad of shape they were in, they always pulled through the worst conditions and got me home.
Joseph Dawson In my area 80s Toyotas are prominent with people who actually mud and work. Fords and the like are always waxed and shined like a minivan. With the occasional exception of the restored badass.
@@whechi Toyota is a pile of shit that bends and warps on uneven surfaces like a recently tilled field. C-frames are not the future in North American pickup trucks. They are for softly cruising the highway to the office.
If Dodge can sort out its transmission problems inherited from Daimler, they have a real shot.
My dad had a really nice 4x4 when he was younger. I wonder if it's still somewhere on this earth. I think it was one of a kind too because I looked at some images online and there is none that looks exactly the same. Looking at these old commercials really makes me want one from the 80s. 😍
I'll have one of every one of these classics. Thanks. Especially of course the Fords but honestly any of the trucks in these commercials. Reason? Everyone of them are made tougher than the 80,000$ computers on the road now.
Oh what I would do if I could buy a brand new 1980s ford I would be the happiest man alive! Especially today with something that primitive and so much better than today’s stuff it would be ground breaking!
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
I guess now we know why Ford sold so many of these. They really were the best trucks on the road in the 80's.
always were .
I own a 1980 custom f250 and it's still kicking ass in the Rocky mountains... 👍👍👍
I drive a BMW and these ads made me want a ford truck
Yet my 2005 v6 mustang still gets 19 mpg lmao
Zack Attack i have a 05 mustang v6 too! 🤣
That's alright, my tired old 89 f250 only gets about 8 mpg nowadays
That's the reason why you still hold in my 91 F150 with a 6 cylinder
So reliable they discontinued it. Couldn't make enough money off those engines.
you know now I actually want one
I genuinely didn't know they used to advertise their commercial line. Good stuff 👌
