Ford Rolls Out Aluminum Chassis-Cab Super Duty

摘要

Responding to the need for more specialized, rugged and capable work trucks such as aerial lifts, field-service vehicles and medium-duty haulers, Ford Motor Co. rolled out a new chassis-cab model of its aluminum-bodied Super Duty trucks at the Work Truck Show, held on March 1-4 in Indianapolis. Employing a new, high-strength aluminum-alloy cab and a higher-strength steel frame than the outgoing generation, the 2017 F-350, F-450 and F-5S0 chassis-cab lineup offers best-in-class capability, Ford claims, with a front gross-axle-weight rating of 7,500 lb and a gross-combined weight rating of 40,000 lb.
