The eighth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup trucks and medium-duty commercial trucks produced by Ford from 1986 to 1990. While the 1980 chassis was carried over to the new model, the 1987 model was more streamlined, and maintenance items were made simpler. Inside, the interior was given a minor redesign. Rear antilock brakes were now standard, the first truck to boast this. For the first time, all models were produced with Styleside beds; the Flareside bed was discontinued except for a small number of early 1987 models using leftover 1986 beds with new circular fenders. Also for the first time, all models were equipped with a 4 speed or 5 speed manual with the automatic transmission discontinued until 1992.

Contents

For 1990, a "Nite" trim package was introduced. It included all blacked-out exterior trim and either a pink or blue/purple stripe and "Nite" decal on the sides of the cargo box.

The models are:

The F-Super Duty (as the fender emblems stated) models appeared from 1987 to 1997. They were basically F-450s built as an "incomplete vehicle" (chassis cab) due to the fact that there was no bed installed and an aftermarket bed (specific to its future use) was added after the truck's initial build date. It came with dual fuel tanks with a dash-mounted toggle switch to switch between each tank while using only the one fuel gauge. It came with a PTO (Power Take-Off) used to power attachments (like winches or a dump bed) from the transmission. They were rated at about 15,000 lb (6,800 kg) GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). They came with either the standard 7.5 L (460 CID) gas V8 or the optional 7.3 L (444 CID) diesel V8. All wheels were 10-lug with DRW (Dual Rear Wheels). Also, the parking brake is mounted on the tail of the transmission. This model should not be confused with the later "Super Duty" commercial line of trucks starting with the 1999 model year.

In a move to further update the F-Series engine lineup, the 4.9 L inline-6 was converted to fuel injection for 1987. A year later, Ford became the first pickup truck manufacturer to sell a non-carbureted engine lineup as the 5.0 L V8 and 5.8 L V8 and 7.5 L V8 also gained fuel injection. For 1988, the diesel V8 from International (Navistar) was enlarged to from 420 to 444 cubic inches; this allowed for an increase to 180 hp (130 kW). and 365 ft·lbf (495 N·m). of torque.

While the dated 3-speed manual transmission was discontinued, much of the rest of the transmission lineup carried over from the 1980-1986 trucks. In 1988 the five speed ZF S5-42 replaced the Borg-Warner T19 in F-250 and F-350 models. For the F-150, while the heavier-duty Borg-Warner T18 4-speed manual remained available, the Mazda-built M5OD 5-speed manual was added to the model lineup.

Four-wheel-drive improvements included the addition of automatic locking hubs for the F-150 in 1989. Models with the 5.0L V8 also had an option of an "Touch Drive" electronic transfer case.[citation needed]

Starting in 1979 (to 1996), Ford offered a four-wheel-drive swing arm independent front suspension called Twin Traction Beam, or TTB. Based on its I-beam suspension from the mid '60s, Ford mounted a Dana 44 differential in the driver-side (front) axle beam and transmitted torque to the passenger-side wheel with a double U-jointed axleshaft. Radius arms and coil springs were still used on the F-150's, while the four-wheel-drive F-250s and F-350s got leaf springs. The F-250s received TTB Dana 50 axles and the F-350s got a solid axle Dana 60.

Nothing major (engine - trns.- rear) 140,000 miles. A/C problem - evaporator (Florida).

It has been the best investment in a vehicle I have ever made. I drive it hard & put it away wet. I tow a race car all over florida & previously N.Y.

Gas mileage is low (must be the way I drive).

Review Date: 29th June, 1998

I have an F-250 1988. I love it.

Can anyone tell me about the 460 exhaust leaks? What do you do about the exhaust manifolds?

It goes away after about 5 miles of driving.

To the writer of the comment, if it goes away it sounds like the manifold to head bolts need to be tightened. To the person who wrote the review, my 87' went 240,000 hard miles before I traded it in for a new one.

I have a 87 Ford longbed and it has a 7.5 litter and its the best truck I ever had.
