What’s new
While its younger siblings receive complete redesigns, the elder 350 remains virtually unchanged. The 7.3L diesel receives minor improvements and the three-speed automatic transmission is eliminated.

1995 Ford F-350 XLT 4dr Crew Cab LB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
In April of 1998 I bought a 1995 Ford F-
350 with 95,567 miles on it. At the
time we were looking for a truck to
pull our 5th wheel trailer. We had
looked at other trucks before but none
of them compared to the F-350. With its
460c.u.i.n. V-8 it did the job for us.
We purchased it with the aftermarket
Sherrod package. As of today the truck
has 141,000 miles and still … runs like
the day we bought it.

1997 Ford F-350 XLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
A most Excellent purchase!! never left
me stranded. Never a breakdown. Just
the occasional needing of tires and
regular oil changes. all minor maint.
The Powerstroke gives all the power you
would ever need in a pick up. Pulls our
1976 Fiberform fully fueled and loaded
with camping and fishing goodies up an
8% grade at 65 mph+. I know I would buy
this model again.
Great truck

1997 Ford F-350 XLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
Absolutely love this truck. Have always loved the body style and this is the last year it was made. Bought the truck with 200,000 miles on it and only had to replace the glow plugs (common on these engines). Other than oil changes and usual wear parts like brakes and tie rod ends, I haven't had to spend a dime on it. Rides a little rought but I have a 6 inch lift on a 1 ton truck so it … comes with the territory. I'll drive this one till it can't be driven any more and then probably look for another one.

1996 Ford F-350 XLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD LB (5.8L 8cyl naturally aspired 5M)
I use this truck like a truck. I don't expect it to be fun or drive like a car. I haul hay and horses. It restored my faith in American built vehicles. For 11 years I drove it with virtually no repairs and only casual maintenance. Today I will replace the u joints, some seals, a cracked manifold but overall, still just an excellent workhorse doing what it was designed to do. Other than … brake linings, trans flush, radiator flush, and oil that is all I have done since I purchased with 3,000 miles on it.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1997 Ford F-350, so we've included reviews for other years of the F-350 since its last redesign.
