Ford offered one five-liter V8 engine for the 1986 Ford F-150, the fuel-injected Windsor V-8, but also offered diesel and six-cylinder engines. According to Car Gurus, the high-powered engine made the F-150 a "workhorse of a pickup, and there are plenty of these durable beauties still on the streets today."
