Ford vs. Competition

Ford got out of the class-8 truck business around 1997 when they sold their heavy-truck division to Daimler AG Truck Group (Freightliner, Western Star), which was re-named Sterling Trucks (subsequently shut down in 2010).

Ford still offers their class-6 and class-7 trucks (F-650, F-750).

 

Ford keeps making class 8 trucks in Turkey, named ord Cargo.

 

Ford just sucks!

 

Yep, Ford Cargo is concidered the cheapest trucktor on EU market. It is not very popular, but I can see it on European roads.

But how many Fords in Turkey!

 

worst truck ever

euro 3 version with 350hp tractor cost 65000€ without tax for that money you can get axor CF iveco and premium far better trucks

i know one driver that drive one of very few in my country he says that this is worst piece of crap only ford and turks can make such bad thing

he told that he must use both hand for gearshifting , that both differential bushings are leaking

that electric retarder is useful only on first hill

that they changed clutch 2times

and it has only 120 000km


edit: and they also build them in brazil

but many of people from my country including me would rather drive 30year old decent european truck than this

another edit: euro 5 should cost 5000€ more

now you can get pretty good equiped premium for 64500€

including euro5+eev 460hp

automated gearbox

freezer

some better package of equipment

cooled box in dashboard

two fuel tanks

 

People can say what they want. If you want a big quiet cab and very comfortable truck. SERLINGS are very nice. just dont have the pete name.
