  What a truck - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Bob Friebus - August 20 - 6:55 pm

  I have owned this truck for 11 years and have done very little other than scheduled maintenance. I have hauled trailers up mountains, gone 4 wheeling over very large boulders, driven very long stretches with no problems what- so-ever. I have 198,000 miles on the odometer and have been amazed by the continued reliability of this truck. Ford has my business for life!

  Best Dollar I Ever Spent - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Rain - June 18 - 8:50 pm

  This truck does everything well. Whats amazing today, 13 years later, is its reliability and it drives new. "Built Ford Tough" is true. This isnt a commercial, just 13 years of ownership. I bet the truck has 13 more years left. Has 120K now and should do 250k. After 1200 miles, always used Mobil1. Replaced shocks and tires normal interval. Oxygen sensor replaced once and just changed the plugs at 120K and engine sounds new and runs out perfect.

  F-250 4wd HD 7.5L - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Mike - March 14 - 12:17 pm

  We bought this truck from a drilling company after it had 155,000 miles on it. Its a tank. The drilling company obviously did not take it easy on it and we have had minimal problems with it. The head gasket blew on it and some minor brake issues. With the 7.5L 460 and a 5 spd it has alot of power. The fuel milage is not the best because of the large v8. The truck is very solid and reliable. Suspension is very strong for hauling and towing. Lots of power and braking control with large trailers.

  Good 97 F250 - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Happy - September 26 - 1:22 am

  Bought at 62k, now at 97k. Strongest pickup I have ever owned. Trailer pulling dream. Only has the 4.6 and still pulls like a mule. 100% dependable. Moving into a Super Duty, but sure going to miss this truck.

  dependable truck - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Freddy - July 2 - 2:00 am

  Ive enjoyed this truck. Its a work truck. Ive had 4 brake jobs - too often in my opinion. Other than that its been flawless and always ready to go. Very comfortable, even on 8 hour drives.

  Heavy Duty Diesel - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Talbot - January 6 - 2:00 am

  Ive had a little trouble with the capacitor on the diesel. However, Ford has a 3rd generation capacitor that is now reliable. I added a leaf all around to raise the truck, rather than using a lift kit.Happy with the results. This truck is extremely reliable and will do anything and get me anywhere. Put 265 tires on it right away. Plastic trim on the inside of the XLT is fragile Rear seat is ok, although weve had teenagers sit in the back across the country twice. If you get a diesel, get the manual transmission. You get the great advantage of using engine compression off-road and in poor road conditions.

  One of the best Trucks EVER! - 1997 Ford F-250
  By Flover5076 - October 15 - 2:00 am

  After driving this truck for snow plowing, pulling a 30 foot boat, and as a daily driver I have come to one conclusion, that this truck can perform at anytime you want. This is a great truck for doing anything.
