The 300 will outlast any of your Toyotas or Hondas. Toyota would be lucky if you can even stop it in the first place.
That 300 has more torque than all of the lugnuts on that Toyota combined...

Thats awesome. I can see a reason for owning all of those vehicles, but you just cant beat the utility of a truck.

In other news, my MAP sensor is messed up and I think the vacuum solenoid behind the EGR is messed up too...

I thank god that I have a new truck !( 1995 F 150 300 got her with 30,000)-now have 95,000. My 1996 F 150 had over 276,000 miles on her. Used for very heavy hauling and towed a trailer most every day as well . What a truck! Other than front end work from such heavy hauling would have never needed anything. Gave her to my son, he drove her another 20,000 miles and he then sold her to a guy who is driving her around on his farm.

My 300 I6 lugs my 33x12.50 mudders around really good. I don't have any complaints with it at all. I haul what I want, pull vehicles out of ditches, pull broken down vehicles, and everythnig. If I could get the fricken time to figure out where my exhaust leak is, then I'll like it even more. It's either bad donut gaskets, or manifold gaskets. Or maybe a cracked manifold. Hell, it's hard to tell. I know that clicking is getting on my nerves!

Thumbs up

I also agree the 300 inline six might be the best engine ever made.

Haha. I hate that. I had the whole exhaust redone a couple months ago on mine. I went with a Flowmaster Super 10 single chamber.
