Monday, December 12, 2011 Ford F-650 Boasts Functionality, Affordability, Fuel-Economy
 Government fleets seeking a cheaper alternative when replenishing an aging medium-duty truck fleet may want to take a closer look at the 2012 Ford Super Duty F-650 with a gas engine (costs thousands of dollars less than diesel trucks of its size).
Class 6 and 7 medium-duty trucks are the workhorses of municipal fleets, from single-axle dump trucks to highway plow trucks. “The gas-engine F-650 is a highly capable truck that is built Ford tough without sacrificing comfort and fuel economy,” said Todd Kaufman, F-Series Chassis Cab Marketing manager.
The 6.8-liter three-valve gas engine renders 362 hp and 457 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine couples with a six-speed transmission with double overdrive gears for improved fuel economy. An optional package is available for conversion to compressed natural gas or propane fuels.
