For Sale: 1997 Ford F150 in Kentwood, Michigan

A well-preserved OBS-era Ford F-150 XLT is getting harder to find-especially one like this. With just 43,987 original miles, this 1997 model stands out as an exceptionally clean example of one of Ford's most durable and recognizable pickup generations. Finished in Light Prairie Tan Metallic over a tan custom cloth interior, it captures the honest utility and timeless styling that made these trucks a staple on American roads and job sites alike.

This F-150 XLT has clearly been cared for throughout its life. Showing only two owners from new, the truck remains in excellent original condition and presents with the kind of authenticity collectors and enthusiasts actively seek. The paint, trim, and interior all reflect the careful stewardship of previous ownership, while the clean CARFAX report confirms no accident history and consistent service. Original books and manuals are included, adding another layer of confidence and collectability.

Under the hood is Ford's proven 4.6-liter V8 paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Known for simplicity and long-term reliability, this powertrain offers a straightforward ownership experience with the kind of rugged dependability these trucks built their reputation on. With all-stock mechanicals, this F-150 remains unmodified and true to how it left the factory-something increasingly rare in surviving examples from this era.

The XLT trim brings a comfortable mix of practicality and convenience. Features include power steering, power brakes, power windows, and power locks, while thoughtful options like the multifunction steering wheel, 70/30 split front bench seat, folding rear seat, and desirable 3-door cab configuration make it especially versatile. Integrated running boards, factory tow package, bed tie-downs, and rear cargo light add genuine usability, whether for weekend cruising, hauling, or adding to a growing collection of classic American trucks.

Low-mile trucks from this generation continue to rise in popularity thanks to their simple design, durable engineering, and unmistakable late-90s charm. This truck offers the kind of honest originality that appeals to collectors, first-time classic truck buyers, or anyone wanting a dependable vintage pickup that still turns heads for all the right reasons.
