Ford F-450 and 550 Commercial Service

Conventional Towing Capacity

The F-450 Chassis Cab can tow up to 17,500 pounds conventionally, while the F-550 can tow up to 18,500 pounds with a standard hitch. With the 6.7-liter diesel engine, you can tow a trailer weight of up to 24,100 pounds with either model. With all of the towing that these vehicles can do for you, it will put a lot of strain on the vehicle. Keeping up with regular maintenance like oil changes, alignments, and tire services will go a long way in keeping the flow of your business efficient.

F-450 and F-550 Oil Change Services

Because the Ford F-450 and F-550 are heavy-duty work trucks, the engines within them are much larger than the average vehicle. The increased size not only produces more power, but also requires more engine oil to ensure proper lubrication. Depending on whether your vehicle has a gasoline or diesel engine will determine the type of oil that’s required during oil change service. Avoid the hassle, and let the Ford professionals at Tindol Ford in Gastonia, NC take care of your truck’s oil changes for you.

Transmission Services

With the amount of hauling and towing that these trucks are capable of comes the additional burden that’s placed on the transmission. Ensure that your truck’s transmission continues to operate smoothly with regular transmission inspections and transmission fluid exchanges. During these routine services, our Ford technicians will check for leaks or other minor damage that could potentially ruin your F-450 or F-550’s transmission if left unrepaired for too long.

Wheel Alignment & Tire Services

While the F-450 and F-550 were designed to handle the toughest of jobs, they still need routine maintenance, such as wheel alignments from time to time. Tough jobs bring with it the increased likelihood of hitting potholes more frequently and other forces that can throw your truck’s wheels out of alignment. Correct any veering you are experiencing while driving with F-450 and F-550 wheel alignment service at Tindol Ford. We’ll use the latest technology and techniques from Ford to straighten your truck out, so you can have more control during your workday.
