Whether you need a reliable tow truck or a commercial vehicle, the 2024 Ford F-550 SD is a great option for Maryland businesses seeking a heavy-duty chassis cab. This rugged model is compatible with a wide range of upfits and is capable of handling whatever the road is throwing at it.

2024 Ford F-550SD Powertrains

Part of Ford’s SuperDuty lineup, the 2024 Ford F-550 SD comes standard with the same powertrain seen in other Ford SD trucks, a 7.3L PFI V8 engine paired with a TorqShift 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that delivers 335 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque. This engine provides plenty of power for most purposes, while the automatic transmission with overdrive and selectable drive modes enhances performance based on the road conditions.

Those who need a higher towing capacity can customize the model with the available 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine. This powertrain has a net output of 330 horsepower and 950 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 34,500 lbs. Depending on the cab and wheelbase configuration, this truck can handle payloads of up to 12,600 lbs.

Versatile Cab and Wheelbase Options

The 2024 Ford F-550 SD is designed to accommodate crews of all sizes and can be had in three available cab styles. The Regular Cab is perfect for most commercial purposes and comes standard with comfortable seating for three. The SuperCab and Crew Cab styles can be had with seating for up to six and are a better option for larger crews or those who need an in-cabin storage area behind the front seats.

In addition to the various cab styles, different wheelbase options make it easy to customize the truck with the desired upfits. Lengths vary from 145 to 205 inches.

Easy Upfit Integration

From tow trucks to delivery vans, the 2024 Ford F-550 SD is compatible with a wide range of upfits that are very easy to integrate thanks to the available Ford Pro Vehicle Integration System 2.0. This hardware interface allows you to connect the upfit to the chassis cab’s electrical architecture through a single entry point for seamless control via the vehicle’s SYNC center touchscreen.

Comfort and Convenience Features

The 2024 Ford F-550 SD comes with all the comfort and convenience features we have come to expect from Ford’s trucks, including soft-to-the-touch and easy-to-clean seating surfaces, automatic climate control, and a digital productivity screen that includes a trip computer and other useful instruments. The SYNC 4 center touchscreen provides access to various vehicle and upfit functions in addition to connectivity and entertainment.

Onboard Wi-Fi hotspot capability comes standard, while optional upgrades include exciting features like a 110V household-style dash-mounted outlet, a rearview camera, and an interior work surface.
