1987 Ford F-150 XL Regular Cab 4x2 6.5-foot Flareside box — 5.0-liter EFI V8


Ford's 1987 F-Series specification and payload matrices list this F-150 Regular Cab 4x2 6.5-foot Flareside box, while its trim table limits XLT Lariat to Styleside bodies. The same specification matrix lists the 5.0-liter EFI V8 plus manual and automatic transmission choices for this cab and drivetrain. Because it does not cross-tab each individual gearbox to every engine, this page preserves the verified transmission category without inventing a specific gearbox pairing.
