Hi all, it is the newbie truck guy again, I wonder if someone can tell me what make ups a 97 Ford F-250 HD (Heavy Duty)? The truck I'm looking to buy on says F-250 Heavy Duty PSD on the fender. So I gather this is not XL or a XLT, correct?

What parts make up a (Heavy Duty)? Plese let me know when you can.

Regards,

Jim

 

In 97 Ford started making the newer generation F150s and also made an F250LD in the same body style that year. These used the new mod engines and 7 lug axles. Ford kept making the older body style F250s (92-97) that year and badged them as a Heavy Duty. Thats why in 97 only there was an F250 Light Duty and an F250 Heavy Duty. One was a true 3/4 ton, the other was a heavy half ton. These could be had in XL or XLT trim, they just didn't state it on the doors that year.
