Introduction to the Ford Aeromax 120 class 8 tractor

Why did I just watch this whole video? I have no idea but I loved it

I drove a Ford Aeromax back in the 90's. It was actually a very nice truck to drive. I would love to get my hand on one of these today!

Where is the king kong of trucks, the Peterbilt????

Fun to watch this old comparison. Thanks for posting. Always thought the Kenworths were a bit awkward with their lack of legroom, but great trucks. Drove all these makes and liked them all for different reasons. Found cummins powered Freightliners of the 90's a bit loud inside.

I have driven trucks from all the manufacturers, Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, International Harvester, GMC, and Ford. however I never drove an Aeromax. I could see where they would be more aerodynamic than some of the other trucks. I just never got the opportunity to drive one. but I did drive an LTL 9000 Ford's regular conventional tractor. it was a dump and pup heavy hauler with a three axle pup and a drop axle on the tractor. it had a 3406E Cat and an eighteen speed. it was when I worked for an Asphalt Paving company. and they kept their trucks in good condition it was a damn nice truck. about the only issue I had with that truck. was that the instrument cluster was sort of low and flat from the driver's position. and the gauges were recessed into the dashboard which in sunny weather conditions made the gauges a little hard to see. it was a hell of a truck and I have to say it would easily rate right up there with anything made by the three OTR truck manufacturer's. but if I had to choose it would be a difficult decision. but a Peterbilt 379 would just barely eek out the Ford LTL 9000. not because it's a better truck but because I have really grown to like the Pete 379.

Did he say a 120" BBC????

I bet that KW is still on the road.

No interest in trucking or trucks but watched this because this guy is such an excellent presenter/public speaker.

When i first started wrenching i got to work on a few of these

I didn't care, i just wanted paid for driving the stupid things

didn’t even know ford made a semi

Looking at this, I can see where the Modern International Got there Ideas on refinement

Man, i am a Ford fan... but i love the Freightliner 120, Easy to drive

Drove one in the late 90s. Its good when its new. Lots of plastic parts that tend to fall apart

Started out on a ford Areo max no power steering, what a peace of junk!

I knew an older guy back on the early 2000’s he own a single axle ford day cab. He loved that thing and made decent money to be a local driver.

For me, it's watching this shit at 5:00 am in the morning.

I miss my old Ford Aeromax

Now days ford don give a flying fuck about you

That 120 inch BBC is a monster.

Each and everyone of them would feel like riding a mechanical bull compared to anything modern

What was the Unkeep of these trucks ?

My grandfather was a lifelong International man. When he had to put his 75 CO47070B to pasture in 1991 he bought a areomax. He by that time was getting older, didn't want to climb in and out of a coe anymore. It was a really nice truck and ge ran it till he retired in 99. Sadly it was destroyed when the outbuilding it was parked in suffered from an electrical fire about 10 years ago.

It's a shame Ford had sold their heavy truck division to Freightliner, maybe appeasing to Navistar at that time.

i remember levi's having some cool t600's

I always thought these were good looking trucks.

What do two gay men and Peterbuilts share in common?

They both suck, blow, and occasionally tug.

120” BBC??!!!???!?

how can i get one of these new ford trucks???

I drove all 4 trucks he’s comparing. I liked them all however the Arromax wasn’t favourite. A very easy truck to drive.

It's nice to see the newer trucks have a old school look to them.

Ford the Best

Im in love with the AeroMax & International. We will never see any of these trucks in this condition in the real world. Notice, they all have the seemingly rare "road light" package (foglights). The International has yellow ones, perfect for fog and snow.

Too bad Ford threw in the towel on over the road trucks.

THAT FORD IS ONE GOOD LOOKING TRUCK 🚚

It’s the original LTS with a new hood. Big whoop!!!
I personally love the LTS model.

Those Fords were ahead of its time yet they didn't sell, a few years later Volvo made a success with the VNL with the same concept, comfort and economy in a almost impenetrable market for foreign trucks. I am a big fan of old ford trucks.

probably was 8 Freightliner FLD & Kenworth T600 trucks for every ONE Ford Aeromax trucks manufactured.

All good until HN80 then it just got not cool.

And you still see all of those trucks on the road today, except one... the ford.

thts great but they need to go back to th 7.3 engines in all new trucks thts pulling power

A 120 inch WHAT?!

If anyone likes the song, it’s VERY similar to Patti LaBelle’s “New Attitude”.. You’re welcome 😉

The real areo trucks unlike now

For some heartfelt reason, I wish I'd had that truck, The Ford Aeromax 9000, if I'm ever a trucker to keep America Strong and Appreciation.

❤beautiful trucks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Presenter does a fantastic job. And I appreciate his comments on flat vs wraparound dash panels. I've always liked the latter myself.

Ford genauso wie in Europa der Skoda Lkw waren zu weit der Zeit vorraus und konnten so den Markt nicht erobern bzw durften nicht

All the trucks a great and beautiful. But I don't love the Ford Aeromax. What are the years that each truck? Or all they the same year. Just though I'd ask as a classic Big Rig enthusiast/fan. And sorry if I sound rude and nosy. Please, Thank you and KEEP ON TRUCKIN'!
