Ford F-650 and Ford F-750 conventional-cab trucks include new interiors similar to those installed in 2011-model SuperDuty pickups and cab-chassis models. The interiors are more nice-looking and beautiful and include a new gauge package, new panels and cloth, and “SuperDuty” embossed on the padded dashboard. The trucks continue as products of the Ford-Navistar Blue Diamond joint venture with vehicles built in Escobedo, Mexico, mostly using Ford cabs and Cummins engines on International chassis.

2010-specification versions of the 6.7-liter Cummins ISB, the sole engine offered, were installed starting in April; they use selective catalytic reduction (SCR) with equipment hung on the main frame or packaged in wrap-around style under cabs, right side. A variety of drivetrain components, including high-capacity front and single rear axles that take GVW ratings as high as “37,000 pounds” are available. A tandem-axle option might come after the market fully revives and money can be freed to engineer in not just the axles but a bigger diesel (most likely the Cummins ISC and/or ISL) to move heavier loads. As in previous years, buyers can choose a two-door Regular or four-door Super and Crew cabs, all from the higher volume SuperDuty pickups.
