Attributes
About
This vehicle is a Heavy Duty (High Capacity) short wheel base single cab F-150 XLT FX-4 with a 300A Snow Plow Package. Originally rated from the factory for 6400 lbs (2903 kg) due to the factory tires, it has since been upgraded and reregistered for 7866 lbs (3568 kg) and has a combined axle capacity of 9100 lbs. This is a very rare build spec similar in size to a 4-Door Jeep with three times the towing capacity and 2.5 times the payload. This truck was built for world travel, leveled with 35" tires. It has a super quiet cab with dual pane acoustic glass all around with insulated rubber floors, and a separate stand-up camper system so it is amazingly quiet when driving. Ideal for North and South America as the flex fuel programming allows for simple use of E-85 ethanol fuel as low as 0.45€/L in some areas of the USA and similar pricing for straight ethanol or alcohol in Brazil and some other countries. It can also be upgraded to run on propane or LPG.
