Useful Looking Truck

Awesome looking truck.

[jose]

perhaps a bit random but if you have the necessary license ( up 7.5 ton i guessing) could you get this legally upgraded with regards to weight carrying?

as i gather empty they are about 3 ton or so. but it would handle a tipper back and weight no problem.

These Trucks come over here and are down rated to 3.5 tons ,my Ford F350 is basically a 5 ton plus in the States .

 

Problem with most of them especially the Twin/Dually 4x4 long beds King Cabs with 6.0 /6.4 Diesel engine weigh 3.5 ton EMPTY !

 

Has mine is a petrol 5.4 and 2wd with a small crew cab it weighs in at 2.6 tons

 

There have been a handful of these trucks plated to 5-6 ton but its a very long drawn out affair with the SVA TEST ETC .

HI STE on the Diesel ones how many mpg will they do thanks John

Not many John , the older 7.3 engine in the Fords was good for 20 plus but am told the newer Diesels are not reliable hence Ford bought back over 600 + engines from the F250 upwards .

 

Dodge run a Cummins 5.9 Diesel which is very reliable but less than 15mpg .

Ford light truck diesel engines,including the 7.3,6.0,6.4 litre,used to be manufactured by Navistar(formerly International Harvester).

There were some problems with the 6.0 litre engine and the 6.4 was discontinued. Since 2010/2011 ford has manufactured its own 6.7 litre turbodiesel for light truck use. All these engines are V-8.

Dodge light trucks(now simply called Ram trucks)run Cummins turbodiesels,formerly 5.9 litre,now 6.7 litre. these are I-6.
