1. Engine Options

3. New 2018 Features
For the 2018 Ford F-650 and F-750 tractor models, Traction Control and Electronic Stability Control are now standard, and they are optional for other models. The new trucks also come equipped with a high-output 240-amp alternator, which helps with auxiliary lighting on tow trucks, construction trucks, ambulances, etc. Another optional feature is an automatic regeneration inhibitor on the diesel engines, which allows the driver to control when the engine goes into regeneration to clean the particulate filter.

4 Exterior Modifications
Aside from the attractive new stone gray paint color, the front bumper gets an extention of three-inches. This is designed to protect the hood from unnecessary wear, protect the truck in the case of a collision, and finally, protect the grille and limit the repair cost in the event of frontal-damage. For ease of service, the oil and transmission dipsticks have been relocated, which allow them to be accessible from ground level.

5. Built Tough
If you're wondering how tough these trucks are, you needn't worry; aside from the 250,000 miles warranty, the F-650 and the F-750 have been fully tested. These engines have been robot-tested with laps around rough courses too tough for human drivers (for very long), for over 500,000 miles. The testing focuses on putting the engines through extreme condition at very high temperatures. Finally, Ford collaborated with top-industry body makers to develop an extremely adaptable chassis, which requires little modification, if any at all, to accommodate various aftermarket body styles.
