My 79 Ford Plow truck, had the axle bolts... all but one rust off two years ago, and last year the oil dip stick rusted off. Needless to say, what a good truck... engine keeps on a going, but she needs to be replaced. My husband and I are looking for a truck. I see Ford has had a lot of problems with motors in the last ten years, but we are all Ford. We need a truck to mainly plow, pull a two horse trailer about 6 times a year, a 4 horse... 10,000 pounds about 2 times a year, and the rest just normal boat, snowmobile trailer. What is the best year/motor to get given these uses? I want something reliable. Our 99 F150 only has 116,000 miles on it, so we don't use our trucks a lot.
