In my opinion, if you'll do any towing at all, you don't want that small displacement engine, unless it's an in line six cylinder, and I don't know that there's any of those left, in a newer pickup. In the fall of '96, I bought a '91 Ford F150 Super Cab Long Box 4X4. It had 35K miles on it then, beautiful pickup, captains chairs, rides like a car, still have it. 302 engine, big mistake. Use it like a car, it's fine. Haul or tow anything with it, that engine blows by oil like crazy, and mileage goes in the crapper. And I mean big time blow by. Never lacked for power, will pull a 6'8" X 18' stock trailer, full of cattle or horses, like a champ. But those small engines are just not made to be loaded, period. My Dad had a '72 Bronco with a 302 when I was a kid, and it was a POS. He traded a '67 Bronco with a 289, which was a great little truck, for the '72. I swore then that I would never own a pickup with a 302 engine, but fell so in love with this low mile '91 when I found it, I just had to have it. And it's still a very nice pickup, ideal for very light loads that won't fit in the trunk of a car. But the 302 is not a truck engine. That's my experience, for what it's worth. Good luck!! :wink:

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
