2023 Ford Medium Duty Truck Review

The Ford F-Series has something for everybody and its commercial vehicles are a proof of this. The Ford Medium (aka the Ford F650 and F750) has always been an astounding feat of engineering. The 2023 model is out and available for purchase, and the following is a comprehensive review about its quirks and features:

Features

The 2023 Ford F650 and F750 trucks are a part of the 8th generation of Ford’s medium-duty range. Between these two beastly trucks, you are offered about 8 different variants (3 choice of frames) and 2 engine options to choose from. The 2023 Ford Medium Duty Trk should be one of the most modern commercial trucks today in terms of amenities and safety features.

Engine and Numbers

We have a bunch of engine options to choose from in these trucks. The gasoline engine is a 7.3-liter V8 that produces 335 hp and 468 lb.-ft. The diesel engine is a 6.7-liter Powerstroke V8 that produces 270 hp and 700 lb.-ft. It can be upgraded so that it makes 300 hp and 725 lb.-ft, or even further – 330 hp and 750 lb.-ft. The transmission available is a 6-speed automatic.

As expected, these trucks can haul much heavier loads than your average pickup truck. Ford says that the 2023 Ford Medium trucks can handle a maximum GVWR of 37000 lbs if you opt for the diesel powertrains and equip them right. The tractor versions are also mindboggling as they can manage up to 50,000 lbs. of GCWR.

Interior and Technology

While the interior isn’t really discussed much in commercial trucks, the 2023 Ford F-650 and F-750 models are still quite upscale and the interior design is quite handsome. The cabin can seat up to 2 people who have all the headroom and legroom in the world. There’s a special focus on preventing the occupants from getting stressed out over long routes.

There are several amenities for making this truck more convenient to drive and be driven in. For example, you get air conditioning which is part of the single-zone climate control system and it can be deleted. To keep you entertained, there’s a radio that is mated to a 2-speaker stereo. There are Bluetooth capabilities for hands-free calling in case you’re busy driving.

While the structure and powertrain of these trucks are the main highlights for helping out on the jobsites, there are some interior amenities that make things even easier. There’s an upfitter interface module, which connects with a programmable logical interface. This can be used to control a handful of electrical devices – useful for those working with electrical systems.

Furthermore, there are a bunch of upfitter switches as well. It is a known fact that these types of trucks are often modified to enhance their visibilities or just to add some more useful equipment and gadgetry to the mix. With these switches, you won’t have to make any permanent cuts on the electrical wires of the trucks to help power the aftermarket accessories, making it simpler.

Then there’s the world-class Ford Telematics system which can make any job more organized and efficient. This is an amazing offering for companies which tend to own a fleet of these trucks. Its salient features include, but aren’t limited to vehicle tracking, an app for driving, and a driver behavior feedback system.

Ford also offers the latest safety features on the 2023 Ford Medium Trk. These include forward collision warning (w/automatic emergency braking), adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, hill start assist, and auto high beam control. As far as electronic stability control is concerned, it is offered but you can delete it as well.

Exterior and Driving

The 2023 F650 and F750 trucks have a commanding presence wherever you drive them to. On top of that, they can be personalized by opting for different grilles, bumpers (deletes are also on the menu), and wheels.

Like the Ford Transit, the 2023 Ford Medium Trk is quite versatile and it allows you to modify it in countless different manners. In general, there are 3 types of these trucks sold by Ford across 8 different variants. They are the following:
