The Ford F-250 was a short lived, light duty variant of the 10th Gen Ford F-Series. Introduced for the 1997 model year, the F-250 was largely similar to the 10th Gen F-150, but it featured a strengthened rear axle as well as load-levelling rear suspension. These pickups were available in two or four door cabs, and with a selection of V8 engines. The 10th Gen F-250 was a short lived offering before the model series transitioned to the Ford F-Series Super Duty in late 1999.
