Red Horse Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Kevin, I went to Ford Global website-you can get a translation on the Brazil site but unfortunately I could not find any of the videos. When you lookat Turkey and Brazil sites you see how serious Ford is in those markets. In the meantime, while they are kicking butt in class 6 with their gas powered 650, even Hino is blowing them away in class 7. I'm afraid the market wants more than a PowerStroke BV-8 in 33,000lbs.

Red Horse Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Thx Kevin- I don't know how you find this stuff. I have made many attempts on the Ford Corporate web site and you get none of this info- thx for posting. The spec postings are interesting but they don't post in a manner that we are used to-for example-clearly state axle ratings, make of axles etc. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45503-ford-cargo-2429-torqshift-amt/#findComment-335655 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven forbid, potential U.S. heavy truck customers might begin asking questions about availability, which Ford's N.A. customer relations people would view as an annoying distraction.
