My 95 F150 xlt 4x4 straight 300 6 cylinder has 350,000 miles on original engine, tranny, transfer case rearend all running gear. I bought in 2009 wuth 121, 000 on her well taken care of. Only oil leak it had was a tiny drip just need an oring on the oil pan plug. I"ve had to put both fuel pumps, a distribitor and a couple clutches. But the engine and running gear are still tight as xxxx. She doesnt smoke and she will blow the doors off new trucks. I havent maintained her the best and shes had some hard miles and hauled some heavier then she should handle loads. You cant beat hands down the 300 straight six is the best engine ever built. Its referred 5o by different names but it is or was what was known as the industrial straight 6 for a good reason. As a 4x4 she cant be beat either. Ove owned 7 different years and the 95 is one of the best 77 and 79 were good years to as long as they were same engine and top loader manual trannys.

I have a blue one with a topper on the back, it is very reliable, it is rather rusty but I got it used, the engine is a little weak but I think that it is because it needs a new fuel filter. I think it costs around 150-240$ to fill both tanks from empty, but it gets very good range and I have to fill it about every 4-8 weeks.

The 'purple" one pictured is not a flareside, didn't anyone else notice this? Ours is a great little shortbed 4WD, had it since 2006 (we are the 2nd owner), will hate to see it go when that time comes.
