customer’s truck length and load carrying requirements with the appropriate
F-Series Super Duty
®
, Medium Duty, E-Series, Transit or Transit Connect vehicle.
For trailer weight and GCWR information, see the RV and Trailer Towing Guide.
Action
Ask and write the customer’s answers to the following 6 questions:
1.
What business are you in and what type of body do you want on your truck?
(e.g. van, dump, wrecker, etc.)
2. How long does the body need to be? (e.g. 10' dump, 12' stake, 14' van, etc.)
3. Do you want a gas or diesel engine?
4. What type of cab do you want? (e.g. Regular, SuperCab, Crew Cab)
5. Are you adding any other equipment? (e.g. snowplow, crane, liftgate)
6. What do you think your body and payload will weigh? (See help table on page 8.)
Matching The Vehicle To The Body
1. Use the customer supplied information about payload to select a series and model.
2. Turn to the chart starting on page 12 to determine best model(s) that will
handle anticipated body and cargo (payload).
3. Read across the top row of the chart and select the body type and length that
matches the customer’s description.
4.
Read down the Wheelbase (in.)/CA column which indicates what are required to accommodate
the requested body length.
5. Each chart lists additional information that allows matching the vehicle's GVWR and Body-
Payload Capacity to the customer's requirements (see information on pages 7, 8, and 9 to be
sure the vehicle can handle the required payload).
6. Now, all that is needed is to match the Cab Style (Regular, SuperCab or Crew Cab),
Drive Type (4x2, 4x4), and Powertrain to the customer’s request.
7. Important: The vehicle’s specifications should always be reviewed with the body and
equipment installation company prior to ordering or delivering the vehicle. The body
and equipment weights used to generate the data in this guide may differ from actual
weights. Consult your body and equipment supplier to ensure the proper vehicle is
selected for your application.
8. Be sure to consult the performance data in Commercial Vehicle Tools (CVT).
