1985 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat Regular Cab 4x4 6.5-foot Flareside box — 5.8-liter two-barrel V8


Ford's 1985 F-Series payload and dimensions matrices list this F-150 Regular Cab 4x4 6.5-foot Flareside box, and its trim chart offers Standard, XL, and F-150-only XLT Lariat without excluding Flareside. The specification matrix lists the 5.8-liter two-barrel V8 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.
