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:

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
