I always admire your consideration and respect to other road users. It’s nice to see another enthusiast out there having some nice clean fun while being mindful to others doing the same in their own way. Whether in a classic car, on a bicycle, or just out for a stroll, we’re all just taking in the scenery and trying to enjoy our afternoons.

I learned how to drive in one of these rigs. Dad said if you can figure out this stick, anything should be easy to drive. It was such a good farm truck. We could leave it in first gear and it would crawl through a field pulling a hay wagon as we walked along chucking bales on it.

not true. We had one and it was the easiest manual shifting and clutch I've ever driven. Almost impossible to stall. My 2000 ford ranger 2.5L 5 speed was 100 times harder to drive. It was super easy to greenhorn or stall. I used to laugh at my friends when I let them try it out. My cousin had a 96 f350 dually 5 speed and he couldn't hardly drive my ranger. Loved that little truck though and miss it.

i’m gonna say it. these trucks are not modern enough to be livable. i believe the super duty 7.3 is that. these are archaic. the drivetrain is okay, yes. hence why i say super duty 7.3. the chassis was designed in 1979 with minimal modifications besides cosmetic. the engineering is far more impressive with a super duty and the quality shows. as someone who owns one, they’re fun but the novelty QUICKLY wears off when you’re towing a trailer 400 miles each way and you cant do more than ~68mph, your wrists are sore from the steering, your ears ring from the exhaust sound coming through the shift boot(my truck has dynamat and brand new boots trust me) and when you service it you realize this body style was never designed for turbos and up pipes. they’re good trucks but they’re archaic.

Loved this video. This generation of truck with this motor is near and dear to me, because I grew up around a family friend that had one. It always worked, always did the job, and it sure sounded great. This one being a manual is so cool!

Just the sound of that motor turning over brings back memories of my first summer job at a country tire shop. We had two of these that we used as service trucks and they were absolute tanks.

This is the best vehicle to learn to drive manual on because the hardest part of driving a manual is getting the car rolling. These things make monstrous torque at idle so unless you're pulling a big load, they don't stall if you give them no throttle.

While the performance of the engine was great, the sound proofing or should I say the lack of any sound deadening made it impossible to hear the radio even at full volume.

I love the sound of diesel! Thank you for providing videos like this! !

This was so enjoyable, thank you. Thanks for the memories. The biggest takeaway is I love seeing the fact that you actually enjoyed driving. Especially a manual. Paying attention, the sound of the engine, which is the correct gear, Went to upshift, went to downshift, the tire noise, the road noise, paying attention to traffic around you, that is such a lost art. Especially with the younger generation. And something I miss myself. One of my first standards was a 78 K5 Chevy Blazer back in the 1980s. Creeper gear first gear plus three more. And yes unless you want to pull stumps you never used first gear. But you are absolutely correct, there is something so soothing about just listening to the engine sound, going through the gears, and enjoying the act of actually driving the vehicle. As I said, younger generation today is totally lost when it comes to this. Most of them just know there's this button I push, it turns this thing on, I put this other lever here in D, those things with my feet one makes it go one makes it stop, oh that's right where's my phone. I have to check and see if my buddy sent me a text. Where is it again, oh wait, I'm actually on the highway, oh never mind I'll just look down at my phone again I'm sure he sent me that text, where is it now. Yeah... I don't think it'll ever happen but I do hope that someday things turned around. For myself personally, I think I miss driving a standard more than anything else. Long story short, I had a car accident about 30 years ago, ended up in a wheelchair, so even though I had no problem driving with hand controls up until the last couple years, I still miss driving a standard since obviously I have to have an automatic. Take care my friend, and hope everything stays safe on the highway for you.

Down here in the great state of Florida, not only is it legal to drive with your receiver hitch on, if a person rear ends you, it is 100% their fault. The receiver just adds another layer of protection and teaches the careless driver and important lesson on proper distancing.

Back when they made Trucks... and not Yuppie mobiles.

Hey that green coolant causes cavitation of the coolant side of the cylinder walls FYI

That video truly captures the analog driving experience of this truck

The fuel switch actually selects which tank you feed from. If you are careless and forget to change tanks before running out of fuel in a tank, you switch the tank and if you can keep rolling down the road the engine will restart once the fuel supply is replenished. (DAMHIK😥). Had I been stuck in traffic I'm not sure I'd have enough battery to get it going again. I am driving a '95 F-Super Duty (later a 450) 1-1/2 ton truck set up exactly like this one except mine is 2WD. Great truck and I drive mine very frequently but with a 5.13:1 rear gear I don't have to change gears very often.

My dad never owned a Ford, but he put that same Ford radio in our Caravan when I was a kid. It was probably stolen because I was 7 in '97 and out of the blue we had a new radio in our van haha.

I had an F250 back in the day, it was before the PSD was available. Normally you would want to start in 2nd gear unless you're carrying or towing >50% of rated capacity. My pickup could carry about 4100 lbs, tow about 12k lbs. The F350's of that era were even more capable. The best fuel economy I ever got was about 22 mpg but I was VERY light on the throttle. I'd average about 18 mpg if unloaded. It also had a stiff ride. I can only imagine how stiff the F350s were. Those were great trucks.

i drove one of these for construction and it had a custom bed. i can’t say it was very stable but it definitely got us to the site and back.

this is the most badass thing you've driven and i need it now

My first dream vehicle was a 93 F150, there's something about the 9th gen 92-97 F-Series trucks to me that just have a unique style and I hope to own a 94/97 Powerstroke one day.

Love my 7.3. I like listening to it more than the radio

These things are the best I love em and yes the gas switch does switch where the fuel comes from. You can run each tank out of gas individually and sometimes the switch can break leaving you with only one tank.

We had some of these on the farm I grew up on. First gear was really only used if you were pulling something under load or needed to go really slow. One thing I remember about these was the engine braking you'd get when you let off the throttle completely, especially in lower gears. I also remember how long these took to get warm enough to get cabin heat on cold days if you didn't plug in the block heater.

What a sound. Great driving, well explained.

Reminds me of every airport shuttle bus. Great vid!

BEAUTIFUL RIG!

For me I've grown up in northern Michigan where everyone drives diesel trucks and they all do that exact same mod it's usually jumping the fuel pressure and the boost pressure to the turbo at the same time

Man, that is one amazing truck. I love the red on red and the fact it's a 7.3 with a zf5 manual. I'd love to own one of these for sure

I’m happy to see that your truck sits at around 2500rpm while on the highway, I was worried mine was cooking itself alive😂 with my exhaust it sounds like it’s screaming for its life

What a cool truck! And the fact it's a manual is even cooler!

I'm absolutely in love with diesel big block V8s!

The holy grail. The last year.

Sounds so good when you rev it out
