Ford F-650/750:
- The F-650 and F-750 medium duty trucks compete with the Isuzu HTR and HVR products
- Ford trucks are produced by International in Mexico, under a joint venture agreement called Blue Diamond Truck Company
- International frames, suspensions and other components are used with a Ford cab
- Regular cab, Super Cab and Crew Cab
- 3 engine types: Power Stroke V8, Cummins, Caterpillar
- F-650 offers preconfigured 26,000 lb. GVWR trucks with Power Stroke diesel engines
- Many wheelbase choices for F-Series, now that it is based on International frame/suspensions
H-Series Advantages Over Ford F-650/750:
- Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle means less maneuvering time (49.4 ft./188 in. WB vs. 57.9 ft./194 in. WB with same 120-in. CA)
- Cowl-mounted, composite mirrors with integral convex mirror offer heat and power, for driver vision and ease of use (doormounted West Coast mirrors on Ford)
- Standard Transynd synthetic transmission lubricant vs. optional on Ford, for greater value and low downtime
- H-Series instrument panel is designed for medium duty truck needs, with room for Isuzu-supplied switches to meet vocational needs. Ford uses pickupstyle instrument panel with no room for added switches
- Better visibility (Sightline to ground 15.4 ft. for H-Series, vs. 19.2 ft. for Ford) contributes to safety and maneuverability
- Oil life monitor reminds drivers of service needs, contributing to a long life (not available on Ford)
- Better in-cab storage, with door-sill boxes and center console (Ford has no door-sill boxes)
- 3-point cab mount with available Hystec mounts contribute to a smooth, quiet ride (Hystec mounts are not available on Ford)
- Priority Access Service System provides easier engine access, helping reduce down-time (limited engine access on Ford)
- More leg room (41.1 in. vs. 40.7 in for Ford) for driver comfort
- Road speed governor standard with gas engine, available on diesels, for vehicle management (not available on Ford)
- Longer available diesel engine warranty (3 years unlimited miles with Duramax vs. 2 years unlimited mi. on Ford's standard Cummins diesel)
- Greater choice of wheelbase lengths helps reduce need to have frame cut or welded
- Opposed-piston hydraulic brake calipers offer long life, easy service and powerful braking (Ford uses sliding pin, singlepiston brake calipers)
- Progressive spring aids help cushion load and chassis from impacts when suspension bottoms (Not available on Ford)
