1980 Ford F150 Ranger Lariat & 1982 F150: Brougham Or No Brougham?

Ford pickups have been the top selling full size truck for years, starting in the late 1970s. Why? Mass appeal. Just like the Chevrolet pickups, and to a slightly lesser extent, the Dodge/Ram pickups, they offer variety. Plain or fancy, two- or four-wheel drive, and more recently, two- or four door, you can, much like the original Ford Mustang, equip them as basic or as loaded as you please.

For 1980, all F-Series pickups were redesigned and very modern-looking, considering the Dodge D-Series dated to ’72 (albeit with a couple of refreshes) and the Chevy/GMC pickups were last redesigned in 1973, although a more square-rigged facelift was only a year away for the GM trucks.

Today’s flossier pickups are not a new idea, as these F150s could be loaded up with all sorts of stuff. Top of the line was the Ranger Lariat, with aluminum alloy wheels, two-tone paint, lots of extra chrome, and plush seating inside, along with ample woodgrain trim.

The difference between 1980 F150s and the current 2019s arriving at Ford dealerships as we speak was you didn’t need a step built in to the tailgate to get into the bed and you could reach over the side to place items into it without a boost, or steps built into the rear bumper, or a power tailgate (seriously?), or a retractable handle to heave yourself up. But I digress.

Perhaps the biggest change was inside, where a much more car-like instrument panel was prominent. In flossier Ranger Lariat models, it was awfully nice for a pickup, almost LTD-like. Remember, at this time, most trucks were still used as trucks, not as daily drivers or commuters.

F150s came standard with the 300 CID (4.9L) straight six, but the usual range of V8s were available. The Twin I-Beam front suspension was still in place, and would remain through 1996 on F150s.

F150 pickups were (and still are) highly customizable, much like the original 1965 Mustang. You could get it as plain or as fancy as you wanted. Regular cab, SuperCab, single- or two-tone, six- or eight-cylinder power, single or dual rear wheels (as an F350, ’80 was the first year for them and they called them ‘six-wheelers’. not duallys), power everything – it was all available.

1980-81 F150s could be identified by their unadorned eggcrate grille and chrome F-O-R-D lettering on the leading edge of the hood, as seen on the ’80 two tone gold and brown Lariat, spotted at one of the annual Maple City Cruise Nights in Monmouth a few years ago. It was essentially in showroom condition. A real rarity, especially in the top trim level.

The more basic silver pickup, seen at a small used car lot in West Davenport in 2012 or so, is at least an ’82, when the blue oval Ford logo was reintroduced on most every grille in the Ford lineup, from F150 to Escort to LTD.

While the silver truck is rather basic, it is spruced up somewhat with a sport stripe, aluminum running boards, and a red interior. It is remarkably rust-free and clean, considering its age.

As long as the tin worm is kept at bay, this F150 would be a great work truck for somebody. Or just a fun daily driver or summer cruiser for those who don’t subscribe to the Broughamed-out modern pickup. A little worn, a little rusty, a little faded, but with a lot of life yet left in it!

With only minor refinements, the ’80 redesign lasted through 1986. In 1987 it was given a new nose and revised interior, though visually it was much the same. But work horse or show horse, they sold, they worked, and they took their owners out on a night on the town, serving faithfully, no matter how loaded or spartan.

1980 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT 302 4-Speed Survivor

I promise not to overuse the phrase time capsule when describing this incredible 1980 Ford F-150 Ranger XLT shortbed pickup. You can see for yourselves what a nice truck it is, and by looking at the many photos in the eBay listing here. This sweet and shiny shortbed is located in Lompoc, California and the current bid price is $10,400 but the reserve isn’t met.

I would have normally led things off with the photo above but that tree looks like it’s sticking out of the top of the truck and that’s more than a little distracting. This photo really shows off the incredibly beautiful and deep paint scheme on this Ranger XLT trim truck. This is a seventh-generation Ford F-series pickup and the first year of the squared-off design which was new for 1980. They made this generation of pickups until 1986.

The seventh-generation F-Series would be the last to have the mid-level Ranger or Ranger XLT trim which this truck has. The top trim level was the Ranger Lariat. This truck has so many extra fancy trim pieces, bodyside moldings, and other trim-related doo-dads compared to our old 1969 Ford F-250 Ranger that it almost doesn’t look like they were related at all. The seller lists the mileage as being 36,000 but there’s no mention of the miles in the listing. The only wear appears to be the paint on the bed. It also looks like some heavy surface rust back there but the seller says there is no rust.

This interior is so much nicer than our 1969 Ford Ranger trim pickup was. We had black vinyl seats and even with factory air-conditioning – which dripped water on our feet constantly – those black vinyl seats were horrible both summer and winter. Having a fabric bench seat like this one would have been so much nicer. This interior looks perfect to me, other than possibly some sagging of the headliner and a normal wear-tear on the side of the driver’s seat vinyl. We had an automatic but this truck has a 4-speed floor shifter, cool.

The engine is Ford’s 302 cubic-inch V8 with around 130 horsepower. This incredible truck has had just one owner since new and it has no rust, no leaks, and hasn’t had any accidents. Hagerty is at $11,900 for a #3 good condition truck and $24,500 for a #2 excellent truck. Wow. Any thoughts on this beauty?
