1985 Ford F-150 Standard SuperCab 4x2 8-foot Styleside box — 4.9-liter inline-six

Ford's 1985 F-Series payload and dimensions matrices list this F-150 SuperCab 4x2 8-foot Styleside box, and its trim chart offers Standard, XL, and F-150-only XLT Lariat without excluding Flareside. The specification matrix lists the 4.9-liter inline-six plus manual and automatic choices for F-150, with a model-year transition from the 5.8-liter two-barrel V8 to the 5.8-liter High Output four-barrel V8. Because Ford does not cross-tab each individual gearbox to every engine and chassis, this page preserves the verified transmission category without inventing a specific gearbox pairing.
