Ford F-350:

• F-350 competes against NPR
  
• Only 2 wheelbase choices on F-350 regular cab
  
• 11,500-13,000 lb. GVWR on WB F-350
  
• 5.4L V8 gas standard, 6.8L V-10 gas optional
  
• 6.4L diesel engine available
  
• Available with regular cab, extended cab or crew cab
  
• New Ford Work Solutions connectivity features
  
• No tilt cab -- difficult engine accessibility

NPR Advantages:

• More available wheelbases to meet customer needs (109, 132.5, 150 and 176 in. vs. 138, 158 and 176 in.)
  
• Maximum effective CA of 147 in vs. 118 in. CA for F-Series. N-Series can accommodate bodies to 20 ft. in length vs a maximum 16 ft. on F-Series
  
• Built from the ground up as a commercial vehicle for a long life (F-350 is derived from a pickup)
  
• Higher GVWR helps meet commercial needs (12,000 lb. vs. 11,500 lb..)
  
• Reverse Elliot I-Beam front axle is strong durable (Twin-I-Beam used on F-350 varies camber with load, contributing to tire wear)
  
• Higher front axle capacity (6830 lb. vs. 5250 lb.) stands up to rugged commercial use
  
• Greater payload capacity because of lighter truck weight. NPR diesel weighs approximately 1000 lb. less than comparable F-350
  
• Tilt cab allows easy engine access (limited engine access on F-350 Super Duty with very high reach-over to engine area)
  
• Tighter turning diameter (curb-to-curb) for comparable cab-to-axle ratio (33.5 ft./109.0 in. WB vs. 56.2 ft./165.0 in. WB ) dramatically improves maneuverability
  16-inch truck tires are less expensive to replace and more readily available than 17-inch LT tires on Ford
  
• Wider door opening for easy entry and exit (85 degree vs. 60 degree)
  
• Durable tricot breathable woven seat material is comfortable and long lasting (solid vinyl on F-350 Super Duty)
  
• Standard tilt and telescopic steering column contributes to driver comfort (optional tilt steering wheel on F-350)
  
• Grab handle to assist entry and exit contributes to safety on the job (not available on F-Series)
  6-speed automatic (with diesel) vs. 5-speed helps improve performance and efficiency
  
• Longer scheduled maintenance intervals helps reduce downtime and service costs (every 10,000 mi. vs. every 5,000 mi.)
  
• Standard fold-down center seat includes convenient work area on NPR; base seat on F-350 is non-folding bench
  
• Higher frame yield strength contributes to durability (44,000 psi vs. 36,000 psi)
  
• Standard diesel exhaust brake contributes to brake life and braking performance. Not available on F-350
  
• Greater visibility with larger windshield, larger side windows, larger side mirrors and lower dash to improve vision. Front sight line of 8.6 ft. for NPR vs. 23.8 ft. for F-350
  
• Wide, self-cleaning step on NPR vs. optional running boards on F-350
  
• Standard daytime running lamps vs. optional
  Battery box on frame rails of NPR helps extend battery life by removing batteries from hot under-hood area
  
• Easier serviceability with in-cab fluid checks vs. Ford's under-hood fluid-checks
