1.7 Vehicle Duty Cycle Guidelines
NOTE: For further information contact your
National Sales Company representative, or local
Ford dealer.
It is necessary to take into account the customer
usage profile and the anticipated vehicle duty
cycles of the modified vehicle in order to choose
the appropriate specification of the base vehicle.
It is necessary to select the appropriate drive,
engine, gear ratio, gross vehicle mass, gross train
mass, axle plates and payloads of the base vehicle
to match the customer requirements.
Where possible make sure that the base vehicle
is ordered with any necessary plant fit options.
A high numeric gear ratio is recommended for
vehicles with customer requirements for:
• High payload
• Trailer tow
• Frequent stop-and-go cycles
• High altitude and gradients
• Terrain conditions such as found on building
and construction sites
1.7.1 Vehicle Ride and Handling
Attributes
CAUTION: Do not exceed the axle plate,
gross vehicle mass, trailer plate and gross
trailer mass limits.
Conversions to the base vehicle that change the
center of gravity may affect the ride and handling
attributes.
NOTE: All vehicles should be evaluated for safe
operation prior to sale.
