You're already familiar with most of Ford's F-Series lineup, from the half-ton F-150 to the F-250, F-350 and F-450 Super Duty. There's still a level above those trucks for fleet customers, though, available as the F-550 chassis cab (as well as an F-600). These trucks promise far greater payload and GVWR ratings for upfitting with utility beds or whatever a third party might want to do with it beyond just having a normal pickup truck. That's what will happen with this truck belonging to Elevation Off-Grid, but before it gets upfitted Andre checks out the "naked" chassis cab...with some interesting results.

    30k for this truck would be considered medium to heavy as far as weight so it shouldn't be a problem. I believe these trucks are rated at about 36k or maybe a little more for towing capacity. (I haven't verified that so it may be more but I believe last year's models were about that)

    4L axle code is a 4.30 limited slip axle. The chassis trucks have an industry standard frame size, and width for all the different options that can be put on them, anything from the utility bed you mentioned, to an ambulance body, wrecker body, etc. If you look at the frame of a standard pickup, the frame has several bends and dips in it making it a pain to try and install any aftermarket type bed options. I wish on the F250/F350 that Ford would offer them with dual tanks like they used to.

    Andre excellent video on a very capable truck! An interesting impact of Ohio regulation on landscaper and small business demand for these vehicles is that even though those businesses would operate more safely with this truck they pick an F350 instead and potentially run overloaded more often. The reason is that the combined weight of a trailer hauling a skid steer and the GVWR of a F450 or F550 puts them in CDL territory and thus makes worker recruiting much more difficult. So a safety regulation pushes some operations towards less safe practices via running around with overloaded trucks.

    The F350 with a 14,000 GVWR trailer would also exceed 26,001 pound federal class A cdl requirements. A SRW might come in lower but I’m not sure. I know a GM 3500 SRW diesel has a 12,100 GVWR and so even it towing a 14,000 GVWR trailer would require a class A CDL if it’s being used for commercial use. Non commercial use would of course be dependent on state laws.

    Class 4 and 5 trucks are not CDL territory at all. Neither are most class 6. You have to have a GVWR (Weight of just the truck, payload and passengers)of 26,001 or more. Class 5 tops out at 19,500 and class 6 tops out at 23,500. Not even close. Gross combined weight rating (truck + trailer) is completely irrelevant when it comes to CDL.

So a 26,000 GVWR truck towing a 9950 GVWR trailer would not require a Class A cdl. But a 12,100 GVWR truck towing a 14,000 GVWR trailer would because the GCWR is 26,100 and the trailer GVWR is over 10,000.

    If you mount a "standard" (designed for a production pickup) pickup bed on it, you don't just need to modify it to mount on the frame - you also need to fill in the extra 100 mm (4 inches) or so gap between the cab and the front of the box resulting from the cab-to-axle (CA) dimension not matching the pickup. A pickup with an 8-foot box typically has about 56" CA, and chassis-cabs come in industry-standard CA of 60" and longer (84", 108" with shorter cab). It's not intended to be a pickup truck.

    The adjective before "duty" is what makes it all confusing. They are Ford "Super Duty" trucks that are "heavy duty" compared to what most consumers do with a pickup, but in terms of commercial classification they are "light duty" based on the lack of certain features (19.5" wheels, increased-width front track and turning radius) and their lower GVWR. The F450 makes it 1 MORE level of confusing because the consumer pickup version is "light duty" (GVWR of 14,000 lbs) but the commercial chassis cab version is "medium duty'" (GVWR up to 16,500 lbs).

    It should be mentioned that getting insurance for a F550 which the insurance industry considers a “ Commerical truck” is very expensive and not insurable for personal use by the far majority of auto insurance companies … I know this first hand. Depending on how the underwriters feel on any given day Progressive one of two companies that insure commercial truck (a F550) for personal use can drop without notice. The other company that can you can use is State Farm. Of coarse if you have a business or LLC and have it registered as such you get insurance for a Commerical truck for commercial use… but for personal like I have it super singled with a truck camper and custom flatbed is an issue … so check with your insurance before you drop a ton of money for personal use

    There are many reasons why I push people from F-350 DRW to the F-450 in pickups - turning radius is one of them due to the Dana front end instead of a Ford Sterling (same as an F-250 4×4/F-350 SRW), 19.5" wheels instead of 17", and higher gross combination weight rating. The only bad thing is that they are not offered in SuperCab - only Regular & SuperCrew (Chassis-Cab is fair game). The Cab & Chassis just take the pickups and change the portion behind the cab and the front springs after the F-450.

    The F550 & Ram 5500 chassis make amazing tow truck chassis.. however... when these cab chassis are built into either a wrecker or a flatbed, the large rear fuel tank must be Deleted to make room for the tow truck wheel lift equipment & hydraulics!... the chassis must be ordered with the "auxiliary tank" which is midship between the frame where the DEF tank is.... the problem is they're only like 22 gallons! so you get stuck with a large Heavy chassis, 90+ percent of the time operating at max capacity with vehicles on.... and you only get a little 22 gallon tank. The Gasoline chassis are the same way, however... there is NO DEF tank, so there's plenty of room for a bigger gasoline tank.. but neither brand offers a larger gasoline tank. some aftermarket companies make bigger Diesel tanks... but we're still waiting for larger gasoline tanks. (Yes, gas is actually getting MORE popular in the Towing industry because of the cheaper cost to purchase, cheaper to refuel & No Turbo issues or DEF or EGR emission problems..... Someone needs to make aftermarket Larger Midship gasoline tanks for the F550 & Ram 5500 chassis....there's 10's of thousands of chassis running around wanting bigger tanks...

    That's actually really cheap for what it is. I bet you'd be looking at closer to $100k for a comparable F350. Kind of shows how overpriced their 250s and 350s are. I found that with my '22 2500. I could have gotten a 3500 dually for virtually the same price. Had I known then what I know now about my 2500, I would have done that. It's got all of the "drawbacks" of a dually 3500 without the benefits of a dually 3500.

    Hey Andre, you know that you don't need to keep your finger on the start button until the engine fires up right? You can push and let go right away, the starter will stay engaged until the engine fires up. Fords even with the keyed start system are like this. Just flick it and it starts by it's self. Even my old keyed '09 Flex, you didn't need to hold the key. Technically they have the same technology, just different buttons.

    Although a bed will add "some" weight to the overall truck regardless of whether it's just a small 1/2 to (F-150) or a larger F-250, 350, or 450, the truck itself without the bed just doesn't weigh that much even though the frame is a little thicker and the brake rotors, rear and front axles, rims and tires, and a few other components are just a little bit larger for better handling and braking. The additional weight that all of these "larger" components adds is just not that much. Now, add a steel flatbed to this like a lot of famers do and boom, you're over 10k and maybe even close to or over 11k.
