The Ford F-600 Super Duty chassis cab was named Work Truck's Medium-Duty Truck of the Year for 2021.
Selected from a field of 14 tough contenders, Work Truck readers selected the Ford F-600 Super Duty chassis cab as the truck that best fit their fleet requirements, including application effectiveness, durability, quality, servicing, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.
“We’re honored that fleet customers chose the new F-600 Super Duty chassis cab as Work Truck magazine’s 2021 Medium Duty Truck of the year. We developed the unique F-600 in response to customer needs for a truck with Class 6 capability in a more manageable Class 5 package," said Nathan Oscarson, Ford commercial truck brand manager. "F-600 is slotted between our F-550 Super Duty and F-650 Medium Duty trucks, which I’m proud to say, were the winners of this award in 2019 and 2020. F-600 has the familiar size, interior and controls of an F-550, but can manage larger upfits, carry more equipment and tow heavier loads than any other Super Duty chassis cab its size."
The award was announced at The Work Truck Show 2021 on March 8.
"Ford’s F-600 is an adaptable truck that earned its place as the 2021 Medium-Duty Truck of the Year. As always, this award is fully fleet-focused, with our Work Truck readers naming Ford No. 1 once again in 2021," said Lauren Fletcher, executive editor of Work Truck magazine.
This is the eighth time Ford has been honored with Work Truck's Medium-Duty Truck of the Year Award.
"Thank you to the hard-working men and women who voted for F-600, which is Built for America at Ohio Assembly Plant,” Oscarson added.
