Did Ford make a 1999...............

PS, dually, 4x4 with manual transmission? We were thinking about getting a newer truck (we have 95 PS). A friend said that Ford did not make a 99 with the above features. All of the above would have to be in the 2000 models. Any one no if this is correct?

Thanks,
Judy and Husband

Your friend probably meant that they did not make a 1998, which is correct. The only F250/F350 available in 1998 has a light duty model that is currently the F150 7700 GVWR package.

The 98 is the cross over to the newer body style right?

Yup that's why I got one in a 97, but I wasn't sure when they changed over the body style in the heavy duties. The lighter duty was changed first.

There were 2 versions of the F250 in 97. The HD (Older body style

) and the LD (Looked like the F150's) The 97 F350's were still the older style. Then in 99 they came out with the SD's.

thank you

thats good to know because rather than buying new we would like to buy used. A guy we went camping with insisted that you could not buy a 350 PS, dually, 4x4 between the years 95-97. We have a 95 350 PS dually automatic which is not a 4x4.

We love this truck but we need more stopping power coming out of mountain roads. We carry a very heavy load of 3-4 horses, camper. The trailer brakes are getting smoked!
thank you again,
Judy
