All SuperCab models get a third door for easy access to the rear compartment. Grille styling is slightly different depending on what drive system is selected.

Good American Product - 1997 Ford F-150
By hydropump - October 6 - 9:00 pmGood experience, drives easily. Minor problems recently with "fault light" erratic turn on/off. No material structural problems. Normal tire wear. No alignment problems. This is my most recent Ford and much better service than 1988 and 1978 similar versions.

F 150 junk - 1997 Ford F-150
By cchfd - September 21 - 6:44 pmNo more Fords for me. Truck has extensive work done to it from transmissions to exhaust manifolds. Not reliable and would never own another one.

Stone Cold Reliable - 1997 Ford F-150
By BTE - September 15 - 11:13 pmMy F-150 has been a pleasure to own. I do wish for more torque from the 4.6 at times, but that is really due to the OHC design which predictably displays the opposite power making characteristics of what should be in any 4x4 truck. I added 4.10 gears to mine to make up for the lack of torque and it improved off the line performance considerably with little effect on gas mileage. At 140,000 miles all I have done is standard maintenance and it runs like a champ. The interior has held up well too. It seems better built than the new F-150s (noticed the cheap plastic fuel door on the current trucks). My tailgate is heavier than some but if you cant lift it then buy a Honda or a Subaru.

MY F-150 - 1997 Ford F-150
By TONE - April 19 - 10:00 amI like this f-150 more than the previous chey that I owned. This truck is excellent in all catagories. The engine has plenty of torque. It never complained under a heavy load or accerlation. My Chevy clattered under the same conditions even buring more expensive super unlead. My F-150 runs just fine on regular ulead.

Good Truck - 1997 Ford F-150
By TN - February 25 - 10:09 pmI bought this new in 1997 and put on 151,000 miles on it in 9 years. It is well built and reliable. The only unscheduled repair was when the transmission broke at 98,000 miles. It was rebuilt for $2,000. Otherwise, absolutely no problems. Now at 151,000 miles it needs some repair but it shouldnt be too bad considering the low repair history so far. Id say investing $2,000 now would buy me another 3 years of trouble free driving. Dont be afraid to grab one of these used if it has a clean bill of health. It will last you a long time.

I love my F-150 - 1997 Ford F-150
By zach bereiter - December 13 - 2:19 amIve owned my F-150 for about nine months now and havent been happier! Sure its not the most flashy, but it is a solid truck. It has 107,000 miles on it and it hasnt had any problems so far well except for the time a drunk person hit me. There are a few things I would change, like the overall fit and finish is poor, and who doesnt like more power? The highs are the handling and the "truck feel" it has, you know youre in a truck. Overall though I love this truck!

My Trucks my best friend - 1997 Ford F-150
By Collin Stoddard - November 29 - 1:17 amThis truck has been awesome. I wish it had more power sometimes, but it is unstoppable. I pull two horses with it and it has a hard time with that sometimes, and I have spoken to other F 150 owners and they have seen a similar trait of exhaust leaks in the exhaust manifold. I have yet to fix mine, but it hasnt effected performance at all. I have had to fix nothing on this thing in the three years that I have owned it and it has 160,000 miles on it now.

F150 Work Horse - 1997 Ford F-150
By Bolio - November 8 - 3:40 pmI have had my F150 since I specd it out. When I received it, the dealer said it was the 1st LB 4X4 super cab in AZ. The tires were too small, upgraded to 285x16 on stock wheels. Only problems in 8 yrs: R 4x4 actuator module, replaced cylinder #8, intake valve malfunction. Pulls 7000 lb trailer up mountains no problem. Pulls out stumps, 4X4 great, very comfortable. Gas mileage is medium (14-17). Repainted 2 years ago, but paint was OK before that (Bright Red). Had a dent in bed to be repaired. Headlights have faded over. Bedliner a good investment. Very reliable, very versatile, good looking truck. (Got compliments the first years I had it all the time).
