2020 Ford F-550
The Ford Super Duty line of pickup trucks has a self-explanatory model naming system – the higher the model number, the more powerful and capable the truck is. When it comes to Ford commercial work trucks, the Ford Super Duty F-550 dual-rear-wheel pickup is the last in the range before moving on to Ford’s entire commercial work truck portfolio, including the Super Duty F-650 and Super Duty F-750. This article focuses on the 2020 Ford F-550.
Overview:
The 2020 FORD F-550 is offered in 3 trim levels:
- XL: vinyl floor covering
- XLT: luxury cloth seats
- Lariat: leather-trimmed seats
Performance and Fuel Economy
It can tow a maximum payload of 12,750 pounds with the 2020 Ford F-550. A total of 19,500 pounds may be hauled with this pickup’s gross vehicle weight rating. The 2020 Ford F-550, equipped with either a gas or a diesel engine, has a maximum towing capability of 18,500 pounds when towing using conventional methods.
The engine is a 7.2-liter V-8 gasoline engine mated to a 10-speed automated gearbox to provide powerful propulsion. With 350 horsepower and 468 pound-feet of torque, the 7.2-liter V-8 engine is a powerful performer. The utilization of an overhead-valve layout and piston cooling jets in this engine allows for better engine temperature control while operating under severe loads. The optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 engine, which produces 330 horsepower and 825 pound-feet of torque, is a good choice if you prefer diesel power over gasoline.
Design
XL trim level includes air cooling with manual temperature control, black vinyl floor covering, audio controls on the steering wheel, and a driver’s-side manual lumbar support seat. Interior upgrades include color-coordinated carpeting and floor mats, the Ford Sync 3 infotainment system with SiriusXM radio, and front luxury cloth seats if you choose the XLT trim level. Lariat level adds air conditioning with automated temperature control, a power outlet on the dash, a premium sound package, and leather-trimmed seats to the list of standard features.
Technology
To keep drivers and crews connected either on the work or the road, all Ford commercial vehicles, including the Super Duty chassis cab, are upgraded with standard modems that provide 4G LTE Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices as standard equipment. Customers can benefit from new Ford Telematics and Ford Data Services, which can help them run their fleets more efficiently and effectively. Enterprise fleet managers can use Ford OEM-grade telematics software to increase uptime and asset utilization while optimizing costs, improving driver behavior, and protecting their fleets. Fleet managers can integrate Ford OEM-grade telematics software directly into their own IT systems or integrate vehicle data into their existing telematics service provider’s system.
Upfitting Upgrades
As a result of customer feedback, Ford made significant upfitting upgrades to the chassis cabs of the model-year 2020 Super Duty trucks. Pre-drilled holes for trailer hitch attachment and improved wiring for snowplow upfits are among the modifications. Introducing the all-new F-600 Super Duty chassis cab is designed for clients who want more payload or require the ability to attach bigger upfits but do not want to upgrade from their trusted F-550. The F-600 is a mid-range fighter that sits between the F-550 and the F-650. It provides the capacity of a Class 6 vehicle — with a maximum GVWR of 22,000 pounds — in a package that is more familiar to Class 5 Super Duty drivers.
Safety Features
All trim levels are equipped with airbags, kid tethers, and a belt minder system that sounds an alarm if the seatbelts are not properly fastened. In addition, there is an SOS post-crash alarm system that may be used to notify emergency personnel in the event of a car collision. When Ford’s AdvanceTrac technology is used in conjunction with roll stability control, you will have more control over both your vehicle and the trailer you are towing. All trim levels are available with an optional pre-collision aid system that includes automated emergency braking as an option. This technology analyses the road ahead for possible collisions with approaching cars or people and immediately applies the brakes to prevent accidents. Side impact beams are standard equipment on all trim levels, protecting the vehicle’s passengers from the power of side hits.
