All-New Ford F-650/F-750 Medium-Duty Trucks Are Tough on Work, Quieter on the Ears
- 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 powered by Ford-designed and -built 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 diesel engine is 25 percent quieter inside the cabin at 60 mph than the previous model
- 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 with available 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine at idle is as much as 45 percent quieter inside the cabin and 35 percent quieter when outside the truck in front of the grille
- All-new F-650/F-750 goes on sale this summer and will be built at Ohio Assembly Plant
INDIANAPOLIS, March 3, 2015 – Ford is lowering noise levels in the all-new Ford F-650/F-750 – the company’s toughest, smartest and best-value F-650/F-750 medium-duty commercial trucks ever – to give drivers and their customers a quieter, more comfortable experience inside and out.
Thanks to its exclusive Ford-designed and -built 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 turbocharged diesel engine, those inside and outside the truck will notice a quieter, more refined sound compared to the previous F-650/F-750’s diesel engine.
“Our all-new F-650/F-750 medium-duty trucks are purpose-built to give our hardworking vocational customers maximum capability,” said John Ruppert, general manager, Ford Commercial Vehicle Sales and Marketing. “While the truck is able to work harder, we also made life inside the cab easier. Lowering in-cab and exterior noise levels improves driver comfort and minimizes disturbances while idling at work sites.”
The 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 powered by the Ford-designed and -built 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine is 25 percent quieter inside the cabin at 60 mph than the previous model, with noise levels dropping to 68 decibels from 74 decibels. At idle, noise levels are improved as much as 45 percent, dropping to 48 decibels from 63 decibels.
Decibels measure the intensity and power of sound. Each 10-unit increase represents a 10-fold increase in sound power, so a 10 decibel sound is 10 times more powerful than a zero decibel sound, and 20 decibels is 100 times stronger than zero decibels.
Advanced and quiet diesel engine
The 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 with the available 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine is 35 percent quieter at idle than the previous model for a listener standing outside in front of the grille.
Ford is the only medium-duty truck manufacturer that designs and builds its own diesel engine and transmission combination – ensuring the powertrain will work seamlessly with all chassis components and vehicle calibrations. This approach enables Ford engineers to optimize vehicle performance across the entire lineup and further refine the powertrain to specific customer needs.
Enhancements to the Power Stroke combustion system, structural integrity of the compacted graphite iron block and single turbocharger mounted to the engine block account for many of the noise, vibration and harshness improvements over the previously offered diesel engine.
Specific design upgrades were made to the fuel injectors to optimize the combustion process, which features a two-stage combustion event instead of a single-injection event, further avoiding harsh, sudden and loud combustion. A starter or pilot fuel injector in the 6.7-liter engine begins the compression process before the main injection. The result is smoother combustion with less diesel clatter and a reduction of intrusive engine sound both inside and outside the truck.
At idle, two pilot injection events are used to make the firing process even smoother and to aid in quietness. The “ticking” of the high-speed injectors is masked by specially designed covers on the engine.
Mounting the engine’s turbocharger inside the engine block valley also brings improvements in overall noise, vibration and harshness.
“We used smart engineering and our unique Power Stroke engine architecture to create a powerful yet quiet diesel for our commercial customers,” said John Davis, chief engineer, Ford Commercial Vehicles.
In addition to quieter operation, the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine will feature three engine power ratings, including best-in-class standard diesel horsepower and torque, and no vocational limits on top ratings.
The three diesel power levels available for the 2016 Ford F-650/F-750 are:
- Best-in-class standard 270 horsepower, 675 lb.-ft. torque
- 300 horsepower, 700 lb.-ft. torque
- 330 horsepower, 725 lb.-ft. torque
The 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 comes with a five-year, 250,000-mile warranty.
In addition to its Power Stroke diesel engine, Ford remains the only automaker in the segment to offer a gasoline-powered engine for a medium-duty truck. The 6.8-liter V10 engine with 320 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque is now available for both F-650 and F-750 models with the TorqShift® heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission. The 6.8-liter V10 engine can be factory-prepped for converting to compressed natural gas or propane autogas as cost-effective alternatives to gasoline.
More information about the all-new F-650/F-750
The Ford F-650/F-750 anchors the Ford commercial truck lineup – America’s best-selling line of commercial trucks for 30 years – giving vocational customers an unmatched one-stop shop to meet their needs, from a Class 1 Ford Transit Connect cargo van to a Class 7 Ford F-750 tractor rig.
Offered in Regular Cab, SuperCab and Crew Cab styles and in straight-frame, dock-height and an all-new dedicated tractor model for heavy towing applications, the 2016 F-650/F-750 features a bold look inside and out.
The new exterior styling commands attention on the road with Built Ford Tough looks that also help deliver improved functionality. The all-new mesh grille framed by hallmark Ford nostrils helps improve airflow for optimal cooling performance. Also new are sharp fenders, aerodynamic headlamps and F-650/F-750 badges embossed in “Bold Leadership” font. Available PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors feature large standard mirrors as well as spotter mirrors and a segment-exclusive power telescoping and folding design.
The area behind the cab was redesigned to more easily accommodate custom work bodies, such as tow truck, dump truck and ambulance bodies.
The new medium-duty truck lineup will be available this summer and built at Ohio Assembly Plant.

Chevrolet City Express Powers Small Business
DETROIT
– Small businesses across the country are beginning to add Chevrolet’s
all-new 2015 City Express cargo van to their fleets.
According to the University of Michigan Ross
School of Business, U.S. small businesses account for 99.7 percent of employer
firms. According to IHS Automotive, total small business registrations have
increased each year since 2009 with a cumulative 41 percent increase when
comparing 2009 to 2013.
“Small businesses constitute key innovators
in the U.S. economy,” said Peter Adriaens, professor of entrepreneurship at U
of M’s Ross School of Business. “With 28 million small businesses already
active in the United States, of which 98 percent export goods, there is a ripe
market to be had for a product like this.”
With an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city and 26
mpg highway, as well as 122.7 cubic feet of customizable cargo space, the City
Express was designed to capably provide products and services without fear of
breaking the bank or running out of space.
“Small business is an important segment of
growth for fleet vehicles,” said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet and Commercial.
“The City Express gives these hard-working entrepreneurs one less thing to
worry about when it comes to boosting their business.”
In Des Moines, Iowa, Smokey D’s BBQ, a
company that started in a trailer in a driveway and has grown to three area
locations, recently took delivery of four City Expresses to keep up with demand
for its award-winning product.
“We need a nimble vehicle to deliver our
BBQ catering to our customers in a timely manner,” said Darren Warth, owner,
Smokey D’s BBQ. “The City Express allows us to retain a smaller physical
footprint while still giving us the cargo space we need to keep our customers
happy.”
Vital Media Security, a Dallas-based
company that couriers sensitive data to offsite locations, recently added two
Chevrolet City Expresses to its fleet and has ordered three more.
“The Chevrolet City Express is the perfect
representation of our company as it shows our customers that we can do more
with less,” said Vital Media Security President and CEO Jerry Judkins. “With great fuel economy and right-sized
cargo room, it fits perfectly into our business.”
Founded
in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now
one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140
countries and selling more than 4.8 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet
provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging
