The F-650 Ford in general is available as diesel or gasoline fueled, with a six-speed automatic (diesel) or a five to seven speed manual (gasoline), though there is an option to convert to a propane or condensed natural gas engine should the business or driver wish to make the change. The truck is sold as a 2-door, 2 + 2, or 4-door vehicle, with a wheelbase of 134-281 inches. The second generation of the F-650, which became available in 2014, comes with a larger grille and headlights, leftovers from the remains of the Econoline van line.
What was once a join venture between Ford and Navistar International (their joint operation was called the Blue Diamond Truck Company, LLC) with a plant in Mexico became a Ford project completely in 2014, after Econoline production ended. A new plant was opened up in Ohio to continue making the F-650, and by the looks of things it isn’t going anywhere soon, especially since it has been Ford’s best-selling truck for forty years (and best-selling vehicle overall for the last thirty-five years).
