As many know, the Ford 300 inline 6 was one of the better ones ever made. I never owned one myself, but had a number of friends and family that did. I think it was more durable for the long haul than the GM inlines. The addition of FI made it especially sweet. Around '87? My first FIL, towed a quite heavy boat with a 2wd F150 300. It's daddy, the 240 was great as well. Certainly more "revvable" than a 300.
This from a slant 6 guy, who's jealous on power but not durability.
