Ford F-650 Commercial Trucks for Southwest Florida Businesses
The Ford F-650 moves your business into a true medium-duty commercial truck platform with more chassis choices, longer wheelbases and greater completed-vehicle capability.
Available with gas or diesel power and Regular Cab, SuperCab or Crew Cab configurations, the F-650 can support box trucks, dumps, flatbeds, service trucks and many other specialized commercial bodies.
When Your Business Needs More Than a Super Duty Chassis
The F-650 sits above the F-600 in Ford’s commercial truck lineup and opens the door to larger bodies, longer chassis configurations and heavier commercial applications.
Up to 29,000 lbs. GVWR
The current F-650 offers a maximum available Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 29,000 pounds when properly equipped.
More Crew Flexibility
Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab configurations allow the truck to be planned around both the body and the number of employees it needs to carry.
Two Powertrain Families
Choose between Ford’s 7.3L V8 gas engine and available 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel configurations.
Built Around the Body
Multiple wheelbase and cab-to-axle configurations make the F-650 adaptable to a wide range of medium-duty commercial bodies.
More Room to Build the Truck Around the Job
Medium-duty trucks are usually purchased differently from ordinary pickups. The commercial body, payload, equipment and operating requirements should help determine which chassis you buy.
The F-650 gives businesses a larger range of wheelbases and cab-to-axle dimensions than Ford’s lighter commercial chassis.
That flexibility can be especially important for box trucks, large flatbeds, dump bodies, specialized service trucks and commercial equipment installations.

✓ Required body length

✓ Expected payload
✓ Trailer requirements
✓ Number of occupants
F-650 Gas & Diesel Capability
Ford’s current Fleet Solutions Guide lists the F-650 with a maximum available GVWR of 29,000 pounds. Maximum combined ratings differ between gas and diesel.
29,000 lbs.
Maximum available F-650 Gross Vehicle Weight Rating when properly equipped.
37,000 lbs.
Ford lists a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating of 37,000 pounds for the current F-650 gas platform.
50,000 lbs.
Ford lists a maximum Gross Combined Weight Rating of 50,000 pounds for the current diesel F-650.
Maximum ratings are separate attributes and depend on the exact chassis, axle, body, equipment and vehicle configuration. Always verify the completed vehicle before ordering or upfitting.
Regular Cab, SuperCab or Crew Cab
Unlike the F-600, the F-650 gives businesses multiple cab choices. That can make a major difference when employees need to travel together in the work truck.
Regular Cab
Regular Cab configurations can make sense when the truck primarily carries one or two employees and maximizing available chassis length is important.
They also provide the widest current selection of F-650 wheelbase and cab-to-axle combinations.
SuperCab
SuperCab provides additional interior space while retaining substantial chassis length for a commercial body.
It can work well for service crews and businesses needing more in-cab storage or occasional additional seating.
Crew Cab
Crew Cab configurations provide greater passenger capacity for businesses that regularly send multiple employees to jobsites together.
Body length and overall vehicle length should be considered carefully when combining a Crew Cab with a larger commercial body.
F-650 Wheelbase & Cab-to-Axle Options
Ford’s current Fleet Solutions Guide lists a broad range of F-650 wheelbases. The right configuration depends on cab choice, commercial body and intended application.

Current dimensions are based on Ford’s 2026–2027 Fleet Solutions Guide. Configuration availability can change by model year, engine, GVWR and equipment. The body manufacturer’s specifications should always be verified before ordering the chassis.
Why F-650 Cab-to-Axle Matters
Cab-to-axle, commonly called CA, measures the distance between the rear of the cab and the centerline of the rear axle.
Because F-650 commercial bodies can vary greatly in length, the correct CA measurement is one of the most important specifications to determine before ordering the chassis.
The body builder uses that dimension when determining body length, rear overhang, equipment placement, axle loading and finished vehicle balance.

Gas or Diesel F-650?
Ford offers both gas and diesel power for the current F-650. The best choice depends on utilization, payload, towing, operating environment and long-term fleet strategy.
7.3L V8 Gas
335 horsepower
468 lb-ft of torque
Gas can be worth considering for medium-duty trucks that operate predictable local routes, accumulate moderate annual mileage or where acquisition and maintenance strategy favor a gasoline powertrain.
Ford currently lists a maximum F-650 gas GCWR of 37,000 pounds when properly equipped.
6.7L Power Stroke V8 Diesel
Ford currently lists multiple diesel output ratings:
270 hp / 800 lb-ft
300 hp / 825 lb-ft
330 hp / 850 lb-ft
Diesel can make sense for higher-utilization trucks, heavier combined loads and demanding commercial operating cycles.
Ford currently lists maximum F-650 diesel GCWR at 50,000 pounds when properly equipped.
Commercial Bodies & F-650 Upfits

View All Upfits →Longer Wheelbases Open More Body Options
One of the biggest differences between an F-650 and Ford’s lighter commercial chassis is the number of longer wheelbase configurations available.
That matters when the finished vehicle requires a large dry-freight body, long flatbed, specialized equipment body or other medium-duty configuration.
The correct chassis should be selected with the body manufacturer rather than simply choosing the longest available wheelbase.
Longer Is Not Always Better
A longer chassis can provide more usable body space, but it also affects overall truck length, maneuverability, turning space and weight distribution.
The goal is to use the wheelbase and CA that properly support the intended commercial body without adding unnecessary vehicle length.
F-600 vs. F-650 vs. F-750
Selecting the right platform comes down to the completed truck—not simply choosing the model with the largest published rating.
Ford F-600
The F-600 can provide up to 22,000 pounds of GVWR while retaining the more compact Super Duty chassis cab platform.
Consider it when the completed truck does not require the size or configuration flexibility of an F-650.
Explore F-600 →Ford F-650
The F-650 provides up to 29,000 pounds of GVWR along with Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab choices and a broad range of wheelbases.
It can be a strong fit for box trucks, dumps, long flatbeds and larger commercial bodies.
Ford F-750
Businesses needing greater vehicle weight ratings can move into the F-750 while retaining many of the medium-duty configuration advantages.
