The 1997 Ford Aerostar marked the final production year of this pioneering minivan. Loosely based on the Ranger platform, the Aerostar was known for its truck-like ruggedness, marked by its body-on-frame build. The generation was offered with two engine choices: a 3.0-liter V6 generating 145 hp and a 4.0-liter V6 with 160 hp. Transmission was a 5-speed automatic with only rear-wheel drive available, a stark contrast to today's common front-wheel drive minivan configurations. Notably, the Aerostar was one of the first minivans with available AWD. Considered capable and roomy for its time, the 1997 Aerostar offered seating for up to seven people. Key safety features may seem limited by today's standards, but they included ABS and front impact airbags. Infotainment and tech amenities were basic, including AM/FM radio and air conditioning. The 1997 year didn't see any significant changes since its 1986 debut, retaining its boxy design throughout its lifespan.
