Heavy-Duty Cabin Amenities
The Ford F-550 is like a ball of clay in your hands-using a wide variety of aftermarket accessories that can be affixed to the chassis, you can get anything done. However, comfort plays a huge factor in efficiency and concentration.
The F-550 offer three spacious cab options, ranging from a 3-seater Regular Cab to an ultra-spacious SuperCab with more than 43 inches of legroom for everyone on board. Fit your whole crew comfortably plus all their gear, thanks to the innovative available rear under-seat storage compartments.
Keep morale high on any job in the rain or snow with optional heated front and rear seats in the Crew Cab option as well as front-seat ventilation for those sweltering summer days. Meanwhile, the available SYNC® 3 infotainment system can provide entertainment, connectivity, and directions with just the sound of your voice.
High-Power Ford F-550 Productivity
