The impressive line of Ford dump trucks includes cab and chassis combinations for all of the current pickup models as well as specially built medium to heavy duty trucks for commercial use. Ford has carefully engineered its truck models to be compatible with a variety of cargo beds including boxes, flatbeds, refuse containers and even towing assemblies. From the light duty Ford F450 dump truck model to the powerful diesel engine Ford F750 dump truck, this auto manufacturer has every corner of the industrial truck market covered.
Building A Custom Dump Truck
Any one of the cab designs can be fitted with a variety of rear ends and containers. The popular F-series and its 4X4 layout is perfect for customizing with a particular chassis capable of hauling extremely heavy loads. The F450 XL has a roomy interior with very comfortable seats, a 6.7L V-8 engine and automatic transmission as the standard powertrain. There is plenty of storage space behind the driver and passenger seat. The F450 can be fitted with a payload chassis for a cabover box, flatbed assembly or commercial dump box.
The equally impressive Ford F550 dump truck is designated as XL 4X4 and has the extended crew cab. Marketed as a landscape dump vehicle, the F550 is available with several different wheel sizes as well as the optional automatic with overdrive transmission.
Heavy Duty Jobs Require A Heavy Duty Ford
The Ford F650 dump truck and its F700 cousin are both diesel powered vehicles built to accommodate larger payload beds. The F650 XLT is often marketed as a Pro Loader model available as either a rollback or cab and chassis design. The Ford F700 dump truck family includes the heavy duty F750 2-door or cab and chassis variations, the former usually fitted to an longer 10 or 12 foot dump bed. The cab and chassis model is usually the choice for those wanting to have a custom rolloff attachment and is the popular vehicle for refuse companies collecting and transporting large waste containers.
The F750 XLT is also available in a custom build for use as a commercial tow truck. A number of different rear chassis have been designed to fit this vehicle and many late model F750 trucks have a unique towing assembly suited for a particular car class such as SUVs or off-road equipment.
Great Value On Used Dump Trucks
Ford has been customizing their pickup cabs for many years, allowing for an incredible number of cab and chassis designs. This has given buyers the opportunity to look over the used vehicle inventory and find the perfect commercial vehicle for the intended purpose. Used Ford dump trucks are available in all F-series models and are fitted with custom built boxes, rolloff chassis designs, cabover attachments and several different box lengths. Some are available with a limited warranty and buyers can rest assured that the replacement parts for these commercial vehicles continue to be produced.
Ford is the name to remember when shopping for reliable dump trucks. The large variety of cab and rear chassis combinations means customers will find exactly what they are looking for. Any Ford dump truck for sale will have clearly written specs for the custom build being investigated as well as payload maximums, axle strengths and engine/transmission details.
