2009 Ford Low Cab Forward

The 2009 Ford Low Cab Forward (LCF) is a medium-duty cabover truck that signifies Ford’s return to the cabover segment in North America after a lengthy hiatus, having been developed in partnership with Navistar International. Equipped with a 4.5L V6 Power Stroke Diesel engine (Navistar VT275), it produces robust performance and pairs with a 5-speed TorqShift transmission that features a Tow/Haul mode and optional PTO capability. The LCF is versatile and available in various configurations, including dump trucks, fire trucks, tow trucks, box trucks, crane/bucket trucks, flat beds, and stake bodies, allowing it to meet diverse vocational needs. Its cabover design is characterized by a distinctive grille, differentiating it from its International CF/CityStar counterpart. The vehicle was produced in General Escobedo, Mexico, and aimed to compete against models like the Isuzu NPR and its rebadged Chevrolet/GMC variants, showcasing its utility and adaptability in the medium-duty truck market.
