1997 Ford F-450 Super Duty

The 1997 Ford F-450 Super Duty is a heavy-duty truck engineered for commercial-grade performance, marking a significant departure from standard F-Series models. It is typically equipped with a 7.3L V8 Turbo Diesel engine, delivering substantial torque ideal for towing and hauling heavy loads. The vehicle features a 4-speed automatic transmission and operates with a rear-wheel drive (RWD) layout. Commonly available in a cab chassis format with a single cab configuration, this model excels in rugged durability and performance, particularly suited for work-related tasks rather than high-speed agility. As part of the first generation of Super Duty trucks, the 1997 F-450 set a precedent for enhanced capability and reliability, serving as a precursor to more advanced heavy-duty trucks in the Ford lineup, solidifying its reputation in the commercial vehicle segment.
