The 1997 Ford F-350 is the last model year of the ninth-generation Ford F-series. This full-size pickup is available in two- or four-wheel drive and offers a variety of engine choices, including a 5.8L V8, a 7.5L V8, and a 7.3L V8 Turbodiesel, providing a power range from 210 to 275 HP. Most models have a 5-speed manual transmission as standard, with an optional 4-speed automatic. The F-350 offered three main trims: XL, XLT, and the luxury Lariat, each with differing levels of comfort and conveniences. Safety-wise, the 1997 model came with front-impact airbags and anti-lock brakes. However, technology and infotainment features in this generation certainly reflect its age and do not feature modern amenities like touchscreens or advanced driver-assist systems.
