The upcoming 2021 Ford F-650 is a supreme leader of the medium-duty segment. Ford’s commercial trucks are providing incredible profit in last couple of years. Whatsoever, Blue Oval manufacturer is one of a few automakers that offers Series 6 and Series 7. Chevrolet is following the same path and for that reason the competition is more serious.
For that reason, Ford is willing to provide further updates to its F-650 truck. The 2021 F-650 will offer both gasoline and diesel engines, amazing towing capacity and a lot more. As for the design, we can expect a couple of refreshments. Even the interior could benefit from latest technology updates.

However, towing capacity and payload rating are not available yet. From what we know, new F-650 will use a 10-speed automatic transmission.
2021 F-650 Diesel
Of course, if you want better tow rating and more torque, you’ll go for diesel. Luckily, the forthcoming 2021 Ford F-650 offers one.

However, diesel is well-known dues its tradition and long presence on the markets. Base variant can tow up to 22,000 pounds. If you go for mid-range output, then your truck will be able to tow 37,000 pounds. That is better capacity than Ford had with the V10 Triton engine. The previous V10 Triton could tow 33,000 pounds.
