What is the rear axle rating of the Ford f600?

The rear axle rating of the Ford F600 is 17,000 pounds. This heavy-duty truck is designed for commercial and industrial applications that require a robust and reliable rear axle to handle heavy loads.


Understanding the Ford F600 Rear Axle


The Ford F600 is a medium-duty truck that sits between the lighter-duty F-150 and the heavier-duty F-750 in Ford's commercial vehicle lineup. The rear axle is a critical component that determines the truck's payload capacity and towing capabilities.


The rear axle rating of 17,000 pounds means that the rear axle is designed to safely support up to 17,000 pounds of weight, including the weight of the truck itself, the cargo or equipment being transported, and any trailer or trailer load. This high rear axle rating makes the F600 well-suited for a variety of commercial applications, such as:



  • Hauling heavy equipment or materials

  • Towing large trailers or fifth-wheel RVs

  • Serving as a work truck for construction, landscaping, or other industrial jobs

  • Transporting goods and supplies for businesses


The robust rear axle, combined with the truck's other heavy-duty components, such as the frame, suspension, and engine, make the Ford F600 a reliable and capable choice for commercial and industrial users who need a truck that can handle demanding loads and tasks.
