Nice find! It looks like a keeper.
The biggest pile of sheet ever produced is and always has been the E4OD. I had one in it's first year. I was a ford fanatic prior to this brand new purchase in 1990. I have bought many a new vehicle since then, never a ford again. As a matter of fact, if the current strike drives ford to bankruptcy and all of its employees lose their jobs. I will just smile to myself and consider it justified in the karma sense.Am I the only one concerned about the first gen E4OD? Or is this an M5OD?
The early E4OD's often cratered around 130k
Lol that’s not even the worst Ford transmission of that era! A4LD??? Anyone? Anyone?The biggest pile of sheet ever produced is and always has been the E4OD. I had one in it's first year.

Wonder how much that fuel mileage would be towing 13K, I imagine it would be 0 pretty quick as the little 2.7 turbo would blow up.=zero mpg=not very efficientView attachment 181536
25 is a little generous. My 2018 F150 4WD if I baby it down the interstate on summer gas gets me around 20. Mine is a heavy pig though, like payload around 1250 heavy. Lighter XL's and STX 2.7 2wd F150's can get low to mid 20's if driven the speed limit. Here is a shot from fuelly on standard cabs with the 2.7 - there are are 2 reporting 25 and above, which isn't many, but it shows that it is possible.

I have owned 4-yes they do get 25mpg. You obviously don't know what you are talking about-nor can probably afford one.
You got that right!Didn't Sam Walton drive an old Ford truck? Probably an overused example, But there are people many times wealthier than you that drive old beaters.
Bet you wouldn't belittle a grown man like that to their face....Or you just haven't ran across the right one yet?
Oh...I have. But it's easier on the Internet!Didn't Sam Walton drive an old Ford truck? Probably an overused example, But there are people many times wealthier than you that drive old beaters.

My neighbor had that truck (it might have been a 1990) with the straight six....it had 300k when he sold it.Handsome truck! I think the 300 would be the holy grail version, but I suspect you’ll be very happy with that v8!
