We now have upgrades on Model F-650 and F-750 (Class 6-7 medium-duty trucks). Today we have stock with build dates in the fall.

Completely redesigned by Ford in 2016, F-650 and F-750 units are available in straight-frame, kick-up frame Pro Loader and dedicated tractor configurations, with Regular Cab, Super Cab and Crew Cab styles. We can now give you a choice of either gasoline or diesel powertrains.

For the 2018 model year. We now have electronic stability control (ESC) and traction control brakes standard in all F-650 and F-750 tractor models, though the system will initially be optional on certain F-750 diesel air-braked straight trucks with high-center-of-gravity-body upfits.

For application with high electrical demands such as tow trucks, road service vehicles and other well-lit work rucks, Ford is adding a high output 240-amp alternator as an option with the 6.8-liter V10 gasoline powertrain.

Ordering the higher output alternator to power auxiliary lights and equipment can eliminate the need to specify a second alternator or generator.

Ford is also offering an optional automatic regeneration inhibitor on its 2018 model diesel-powered medium duty trucks to give operators more control over when the engine goes into regeneration to clean the diesel particulate filter.

Finally, to limit potential hood wear and front-end collision damage, Ford is making available an optional bumper extension for the full-width front bumper from flush with grille to 3 in. in front of it. This provides additional protection to the grille and components behind it in case of a collision, potentially reducing repair expenses, the OEM said. Also, the transmission fluid dipstick has been moved to provide ground-leave access on gasoline engine-equipped models.
