Ford Chassis Cab Trucks Richmond, KY
Built to Carry Whatever Your Business Bolts On

Browse our current Ford work trucks for sale online, then stop by to see them in person.
V8 Muscle That Earns Its Keep
Every Super Duty Chassis Cab runs on a V8. The 7.3L gas engine keeps upfront costs in check. For heavy trailers and big payloads, the available 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel is the one to pick. Both engines send power through a TorqShift 10-speed automatic with selectable drive modes, including a tow/haul mode that holds gears longer on long climbs and steady pulls up I-75.
Capability climbs as you move up the lineup. Properly equipped, the F-350 tows up to 17,500 lbs conventionally, while the F-550 reaches 19,500 lbs with the High-Capacity Trailer Tow Package. The F-600 sits at the top with a 20,000-lb conventional rating, up to 34,700 lbs on a gooseneck hitch, and a gross combined weight rating of 43,500 lbs with the diesel. That leaves room for a loaded truck and a heavy equipment trailer behind it.
Ford Chassis Cab Trucks in Richmond, KY, That Crews Can Count On
The F-350, F-450, and F-550 come in Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab body styles, so you can haul a two-person team or a full crew to the job site. The F-350 offers single or dual rear wheels, and the heavier models ride on duals. Wheelbases run from 145.3 to 205.3 inches across the lineup, giving you room to pair the frame with anything from a compact service body to a long flatbed.
The Ford F-600 is the heavy hitter of the family. It comes as a Regular Cab with dual rear wheels and a maximum GVWR of up to 22,000 lbs, which puts it in Class 6 territory while keeping the familiar Super Duty cab and controls. Larger 19.5-inch wheels and tires carry higher weight ratings, and an available live-drive power takeoff can power hydraulic equipment such as dump hoists and cranes.
Here's how the four models line up on Ford's published maximum ratings.
| Model | Cab Styles | Rear Wheels | Wheelbases | Max Conventional Towing | Max Gooseneck Towing | Max GCWR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-350 | Regular, SuperCab, Crew Cab | Single or Dual | 145.3 to 179.8 in. | 17,500 lbs | 26,600 lbs | 34,500 lbs |
| F-450 | Regular, SuperCab, Crew Cab | Dual | 145.3 to 205.3 in. | 17,500 lbs | 30,300 lbs | 39,000 lbs |
| F-550 | Regular, SuperCab, Crew Cab | Dual | 145.3 to 205.3 in. | 19,500 lbs | 34,300 lbs | 43,000 lbs |
| F-600 | Regular Cab | Dual | 145.3 to 205.3 in. | 20,000 lbs | 34,700 lbs | 43,500 lbs |
Maximum ratings require the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel and a properly equipped truck. Top F-450 and F-550 figures also require the High-Capacity Trailer Tow Package.
Tech and Safety for Long Workdays
SYNC 4 puts maps, calls, and audio on a clear center touchscreen, and for 2027, Ford adds a Platinum trim on the F-350, F-450, and F-550 with leather-trimmed seating for owners who spend all day behind the wheel. Upfitters will appreciate the six overhead upfitter switches that wire directly to lights, beacons, and equipment. A dash-mounted 400-watt outlet comes standard, and Pro Power Onboard, with 2kW of output, is available to run tools and chargers right from the truck.
Towing tech helps keep heavy loads in line. An integrated trailer brake controller is included on XLT and higher trims, and trailer sway control watches for side-to-side movement. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is available on XLT and up, while AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, hill start assist, four-wheel disc brakes, and side-curtain airbags add another layer of protection for you and your crew.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a chassis cab and a pickup truck?
A chassis cab leaves the factory with a cab and a bare frame behind it, rather than a pickup bed.

Gates Ford Lincoln can help you choose the wheelbase and rear-wheel setup that best suits the body you have in mind.
