Used 1997 Ford F250 Crew Cab

"Best truck I have owned!"

"Let me start out by saying I usually bought my trucks accordingly. I would buy them at around 75,000 miles and the original appreciation would be down I would buy them for around 17-18K. I would drive them right under 200,000 miles and sell them (deisels that is) for around 10-12K and I would drive a truck for my company 5-6K for 120,000 miles. And that worked for me until they quit Making the 7.3. that's what happened toe on this truck. The 6.0 were getting bad reviews and i decided reluctantly to keep this truck after 200000 miles. Toy surprise I have gotten another 135,000 miles on it with only normal maintanance. I am ok replacing a. Starter, or water pump, the only thing that was large ticket so far and it wasn't too bad maybe $1000 was the injectors. I need some front end work now but at 335,000 I am not complaining. These model trucks are built way tougher than the series before them . I had a 97 and I loved the looks of that crew cab, it just wasn't built stout enough for the weight of that deisel. I did brakes and front ends non stop. This truck needs a front end and probably has since 310,000. Brakes are every 50-60k. I have kept the oil changed and this beast keeps going. I love her. The only reason she don't have 5 stars. Is the typical ford plastic cheap interior parts that break all the time and the main reason is Ford has engineers to make the best selling trucks but needs to fire whoever Designs the seats. They are aweful. Legs go numb, back hurts. Go figure they can make an awesome truck but can't make a seat. Oh well you will not regret buying this truck. First review by the way. I love this truck that much"

"Most reliable truck I’ve ever owned."

"I’ve owned this truck for 22 years and so far other than regular maintenance, I’ve only had to replace the starter, alternator, water pump and a set of glow plugs. Nearly 300,000 miles of using it as a truck. I’ve never re-charged the AC and it will still freeze you. What an incredible vehicle!"

"Lowest cost vehicle ever owned"

"After owning this vehicle since 2004, I've averaged maintenance costs of $750 per year including batteries and oversized Michelin tires for all these years. The only kick in those years involved replacing two expensive water pumps. This machine is an amazing value and just continues to run."
