2013 Ford F-53 Stripped Chassis

The 2013 Ford F-53 Stripped Chassis is designed primarily for Class A motorhomes, offering a robust platform suitable for various gas-powered recreational vehicles. It is typically equipped with a 6.8-liter V10 engine, although engine options might vary. The Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings (GVWR) range from 16,000 to 26,000 pounds, depending on the specific configuration. The chassis is available in multiple wheelbase options, including 208.3, 228.3, 242.3, and 252.3 inches. Constructed with a ladder-type, single-channel frame, it utilizes 36,000 psi steel for lower GVWR models and 50,000 psi steel for higher ratings, ensuring strength and durability. The suspension features parabolic leaf springs combined with variable-rate springs to enhance ride quality. Power steering operates with an 18.4:1 gear ratio, while dual piston pin slider calipers with a hydro-boost system (or hydro-max for heavier models) ensure effective braking performance.
