Based on the all-new 2016 Ford F-650/F-750, the bold
dump truck is painted signature TONKA yellow with a custom blackout nostril
grille and fully functional dump body from Truck Tech Engineers. The F-750
TONKA is ready to move dirt at job sites, create new playgrounds and fuel the
imaginations of kids of all ages.
The mighty Ford F-750 TONKA truck – which will be on
display at major work truck, commercial and vocational trade shows through the
end of the year – is a collaboration between Ford and Funrise Toy Corporation,
TONKA manufacturer of TONKA branded products under license from Hasbro®.
The Ford F-750 TONKA’s exterior styling commands
attention on the road and at the job site with Built Ford Tough looks that also
help deliver upgraded functionality. The custom grille framed by hallmark Ford
nostrils helps improve airflow for optimal cooling performance.
Sharp fenders, rugged headlamps and F-650/F-750
badges embossed in the “Bold Leadership” font are new for all 2016 F-650/F-750
trucks. Available PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors feature large standard
mirrors and spotter mirrors and segment-exclusive power telescoping and folding
design. The area behind the cab was redesigned to more easily accommodate
custom work bodies, such as for tow trucks, dump trucks and ambulances.
The mighty Ford F-750 TONKA carries Ford’s most
capable gross vehicle weight rating of 33,000 pounds on a 158-inch wheelbase.
Its Truck Tech Engineers dump body can haul up to 17,000 pounds to support the
construction needs of almost any imagination.
The F-750 TONKA is powered by the Ford-built and
proven 6.7-liter Power Stroke® V8 diesel paired with a commercial-grade
six-speed TorqShift® HD automatic transmission. The available power takeoff
provision that runs the dump body can power other accessories in the field,
including a crane or other vocational equipment.
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 will now be available for both F-650 and F-750 models with
the TorqShift HD six-speed automatic transmission. The 6.8-liter V10 engine can
be factory-prepped for converting to compressed natural gas or liquid propane
gas as cost-effective alternatives to gasoline.
