What owners say
"Owners of the 1997 Ford F-250 generally rave about its powerful 7.3L Powerstroke engine, strong towing capabilities, and overall reliability. Many appreciate the truck's performance in various conditions, especially off-road and in snow. However, drivers often mention the downside of poor fuel economy and limited cargo space in the crew cab with a short bed. Despite these drawbacks, the truck remains a favorite for its performance and durability."
Great truck....it's got the 7.3L Powerstroke, and the best year possible (1997). Easy to work on, easy to turn up and get more power. Great for towing but also a good rig for around town...downside is combination of the crew cab (4 full doors) and a short bed. Backseat is roomy enough for 3, but bed isn't big enough to hold what you need. Still, love the truck.
September 4, 2010I love this truck, when I shift the five speed well the acceleration will keep your head in the seat, it handles surprisingly well I really never have to slow down for a corner. This truck also has the best TCS that I have ever encountered. The body style is my favorite body style of any vehicle with its tough and rugged look.
January 29, 2010Has the 7.3 powerstroke that is bullet proof and can take lots of modifications. The acceleration is amazing when the turbo kicks in. MPGs are ok but we are talkin power and not economy. She makes rice rockets look like scum.

July 31, 2009i love the 460 big block 7.5 with the good strong E40D tranny 355 rear end and the dual 3 inch exhaust.this is a very powerful dependable truck that will last a long long time the only bad thing is that is sucks gas pretty badly.
June 28, 2011As far as trucks go, it was top of the line for it's time. Only a year before had they introduced a turbo for the 7.3 power plant. It was fast, it was fun, with a 5 speed manual transmission, and a tough Dana 60 rearend. Quite spacious as well.
March 28, 2008Only thing I disliked was fuel economy. Got 8.5-9 MPG at all times. Was a great truck. Had ALOT of power, towed great, handled great sat up high with OUT a lift kit. Would go through any mud or snow with 4X4
December 7, 2009its got a great diesel eng and 4x4 works awesome, auto tranny is great all around perfect truck. I have towed lots of thing with my f-250 ford and never had any troubles out of it, the 7.3 powerstroke with the banks power pack done a great job. I would recommend this truck to anyone like I said it does a great job. NICE GOING FORD ON THIS TRUCK.
