“The engineering improvements that Ford has designed into the new F-150 are going to change the way people look at and perceive pickup trucks”
The same could be said today about the F-150 Lightning.

This was a huge departure from the previous 1980-1996 (OBS) versions of the F-Series at the time, and while some didn’t care for the more organic “car like” styling I was and still am a fan of these trucks. And these are far faaaar better looking inside and out than it’s 2004-2008 replacement.
Still a modern looking truck.
god that 4.6L motor is so good
I know that people hate this gen of F150 but I have so much nostalgia for this F150.
Why, it's that most reliable generation
Back in early 2000..
Hate??...best designed (clean,rugged,dependable,appealin)..F-150 Ford put out in decades...whats not to like??

Many people at the time were either unsure or not really crazy on how round it was compared to all the ones before (think about what happened to the Taurus when they went to a round body for 1996). However the design grew on everyone as time went on and has aged extremely well.
I'm still driving this truck around with our dirtbikes in the back flying down desert trails in 2024. Same color too, love this truck so much
I bought a 1997 F150 super cab 4x4 new in the November1996. I owned the truck for 3 years and then sold it to my brother-in-law because my wife wouldn't drive it (too big). I replaced it with a Ford Ranger, which my wife didn't mind driving, and kept it for 14 years.
My brother-in-law kept the truck for a decade and then sold it to his daughter, who in 2016 gave it back to me, with 245,000 km on the odo.
The truck was still in great shape, with the original running gear, and the body had the usual frame rail surface rust, but zero body rust.
Last year I ended up selling it and buying a new Ford Maverick pickup truck.
I hope the maverick will be as reliable as my F150 and Ranger have been. I have my doubts, but close would be nice.
Thanks for the video of the Ford F150 1997 model year with a Flareside bed awesome red color
Mine is black which is good but red would be nice
Bought a new 1997 xl off road with trailer tow pkg. short box regular cab 5spd. Black with gray cloth interior. I was working as a salesman at the Ford dealership at the time and had it ordered. Still have it and still love it. ❤️ my f150's
These are my 2nd favorite Fords and last of the trucks they have built I like. I am a fan of the OBS and these trucks. Everything after I have not liked at all and sent me over to Toyota now. I am not a brand loyalist I buy what I like and I have had GM, and Dodge trucks I liked. These F-150 trucks were a pleasure to drive and were reliable. Then came 2004 and the Junk Triton 5.4l 3 valve.......
Timeless design
My 97 f150 2wd has 257k miles on it's 4.2 v6.great handler.
This is - to me - by far the pinnacle of F-150s..... before the curse of the 3-valve, and the subsequent hyper-overengineered $100,000 rolling luxury computers they've become. I have the 5.4 2-valve with 4.10:1 gears and it accelerates better than you might think. Easy to work on, unlimited parts available, and the motor will last and last and last.
I absolutely love the 10th gen F-150's. They were still affordable, and were very tough and rugged despite the softer exterior styling.
As an impressionable teenager, these were the F-150s that made me fall in love with trucks. I wish I had one.
GREAT REVIEW - YOU DO HAVE A WONDERFUL AUTOMOTIVE LIBRARYY EVER Motoring TV
I wish they still made trucks like these. I have two and I love them, but the are so old now. One has 364k miles. It's a great truck with enough comfort to feel a bit like a car, but with the majority of that old truck utility and practicality.
Beautiful truck
La Suspensión cuantas pulgadas de fábrica viene esta camioneta? Hace unos meses Le he comprado a mi abuelo una igual, la suya con tan solo 70 mil km, es una belleza
Dodge Dakota
Where is it a big truck
