Answer first
Which Ford commercial vehicle is right for your business?

platform built for a specific upfit.
Transit Cargo VanBest for delivery routes, service crews, mobile trades and
businesses that need enclosed cargo or passenger seating.
E-TransitBest for local, fixed-route delivery and service fleets that
can charge overnight and want lower per-mile operating
cost.

and serving as a daily work truck.
F-600 Chassis CabBest for the heaviest upfits: flatbeds, dump bodies, service
bodies and specialty equipment.

need factory-prepped equipment.

bodies.
Each vehicle answers a different kind of commercial question.
Riverhead Ford can confirm the exact trim, upfit and equipment for
your business.
Choose Transit if you need cargo space, crew seating or a mobile
workshop.
The Transit is built with productivity, comfort and bottom line
in mind. It offers a 10-speed automatic transmission with a
choice of available engines, and Built Ford Tough road and trail
capability on select configurations, including an available
3.5-inch body lift with standard all-terrain tires. Manual 4-way
swivel seats and an available Maxxair Deluxe roof vent add

between refills, and available Digital Rearview Mirror, Auto
High-Beam Headlamps and Ford Co-Pilot360 support daily driving.
Active Park Assist, including Park Out Assist, helps navigate
tight parking spaces.
Buy Transit if:
You need enclosed cargo space or passenger seating.
Your routes are local to regional with predictable stops.
You want factory driver-assist technology standard.
Consider Super Duty if:
You primarily tow trailers or heavy equipment.
You need open-bed hauling instead of enclosed cargo.
Choose Super Duty when towing and payload are the reason you're
buying.
The Super Duty lineup blends comfort and convenience with
massive capability, creating a versatile work truck suitable for
long workdays of heavy towing and hauling. Engine choices
include the 6.7-liter High Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel
(500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft), the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo
Diesel (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft), the 7.3-liter OHV PFI Gas V8 (430
hp, 485 lb-ft) and the 6.8-liter 2V DEVCT PFI Gas V8 (405 hp,
445 lb-ft). F-250 offers max towing of 13,800 to 16,700 lbs and
max payload of 3,217 to 4,303 lbs. F-350 reaches max towing of
18,700 to 38,000 lbs and max payload up to 8,000 lbs. F-450
offers max towing of 25,000 to 30,000 lbs and max payload of
5,388 to 6,343 lbs. Super Duty is available across six trim
levels, from XL work-focused builds up through Platinum and
Platinum Plus.
Choose F-600 Chassis Cab when the upfit is the point of the
truck.
The F-600 Chassis Cab features a 15,210-pound maximum payload
rating and is equipped to tow up to 34,900 pounds, with a GCWR
of 43,500 pounds. High-weight-rated 19.5-inch tires allow it to
achieve a GVWR of 22,000 pounds, exceeding the already
impressive numbers of the F-550. The 7.3-liter V8 gas engine
delivers 335 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque, while the
6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel offers 330 horsepower and
950 lb-ft of torque for some of the hardest jobs. A Power
Take-Off (PTO) Provision is standard across the engine lineup,
letting an aftermarket pump, compressor or accessory draw power
directly from the crankshaft whether the truck is in motion or
stopped; diesel configurations add split-shaft capability so
multiple accessories can run at once while stopped.
Choose E-Transit for local routes where charging fits your
operation.
The E-Transit Cargo Van is ready to work, powered by a fully
electric powertrain and an 89 kWh battery, and offered in two
vehicle lengths and three different roof heights. The E-Transit
Chassis Cab model is tough, flexible and powerful without
compromise: integrating the battery underneath the body frees up
room to configure the upfit, and the chassis cab offers a
maximum payload of 3,960 lbs.
Buy E-Transit if:
Your routes are local and predictable.
You can charge overnight at a depot or business.
Lower per-mile operating cost matters to your fleet.
Choose gas Transit if:
Your routes cover longer or unpredictable distances.
Certain Super Duty configurations offer factory-available prep
packages that reduce upfit time for specialized fleets.

PTO provision

configurations add split-shaft capability for multiple accessories
at once.
Do not choose an upfit before verifying GVWR and payload.
The biggest difference between F-250, F-350 and F-450 is max payload
and towing capacity. Capability depends on engine, gearbox,
suspension, brakes, frame strength and axle ratio, and the added
weight of any upfit body or equipment reduces usable payload.
Best practice: tell Riverhead Ford about your
intended upfit, equipment weight and duty cycle, then verify the
exact chassis by VIN and payload label before purchase.
Safety and confidence
What affects your real commercial capacity?
Upfit weight: flatbeds, dump bodies, service
bodies and equipment all subtract from usable payload.
GVWR and GCWR: gross vehicle and combined weight
ratings set the ceiling for payload and towing together.
Configuration: engine, axle ratio, drivetrain,
cab, wheelbase, trim and packages can change the rating.
Duty cycle: daily mileage, idling time and route
type affect the right powertrain choice.
Certification: emergency, ambulance and
gaseous-fuel upfits may require specific factory prep packages.

North Fork
Ford work trucks for Long Island business
A local fleet page shouldn't sound like a national brochure. The
right Ford commercial vehicle in Riverhead depends on your routes,
your upfit and how your crews actually work across the North Fork,

inventory should be considered when tools, upfits, plows, service
bodies or payload are central.

and the surrounding towns, with E-Transit fitting predictable,
chargeable routes best.

Suffolk County public works and utility crews can outfit Super
Duty and F-600 Chassis Cab platforms with flatbeds, dump bodies
and service bodies.
North Fork agriculture

Transit vs Super Duty
Transit is the better starting point for enclosed cargo, passenger
seating and mobile-workshop needs. Super Duty is better for towing
trailers and hauling heavy payload in an open bed.
Choose Transit for cargo, crew and delivery work.
Choose Super Duty for towing and payload.
F-250 vs F-350 vs F-450
The biggest difference between these Super Duty models is max
payload and towing capacity. All three share similar trim levels
and equipment; the right one depends on how much you tow and haul.
F-250 for lighter-duty daily towing.
F-350 for the widest available towing and payload range.
F-450 for heavier payload-focused work.
Super Duty vs F-600 Chassis Cab

Cab exists to carry a flatbed, dump body or service body that
exceeds standard pickup payload.
Choose Super Duty for towing and general work-truck duty.
Choose F-600 Chassis Cab for the heaviest upfits.
Gas, diesel, electric or gaseous fuel?
Gas Super Duty models suit lighter-duty and budget-focused fleets.
Diesel adds torque for heavy towing. E-Transit fits local,
chargeable routes. CNG/propane prep supports fleets pursuing
alternative fuels.
Choose diesel for heavy towing and payload.
Choose electric for local, predictable routes.
