Would you like a truck with a load capacity substantially but not excessively large to use alternate roads and city? I have here an alternative maneuverable, versatile, comfortable, reliable and it can also carry up to 17 tons. No one is unknown immemorial Ford is the leader in manufacturing and sales of commercial vehicles in the domestic market and although many people still link the image of the brand to products such as the F-600 or F-750, is currently Cargo line, developed in Brazil and is offered in four versions, including 1721 of intermediate type. There are smaller alternatives, distinctly urban, such as 815, or clearly superior alternatives and framed within the heavy transport itself, but for now let’s talk about this particular.
Ford Cargo 1721 - load capacity
The 1721-as suggested by the symbol identifying, offers a GVW of 17mil kilos payload and load conditions (considering the weight of the body and platform) can be estimated at about 8mil kilos, or what is equal we can consider you for their size and the natural successor of the famous F-750 was carrying seven tons and a half.
On his famous predecessor, the 1721 offers the advantage of a diesel engine, in this case, it has a turbocharger with intercooler included and a power of 215hp (now you know what it means 21 in the acronym), which for a vehicle of this features is a lot. In addition, it reaches only 2200rpm, so it can be inferred that this engine, manufactured by Cummins, is low friction and therefore of much greater durability than a petrol equivalent. More amazing still is that the pair -636.5 LBSP-is significant, but it reaches only 1600rpm. This number for the normal driver does not mean much, but every expert knows that starting from a set idle speed from 850 to 1000RPM, to reach the point of maximum torque at just 1600rpm means that even at full load only a very slight pressure is sufficient the gas for our truck starts to move. None of tread depth and flicking the shifter with clutch successive activations literally destroy mechanics. Put first clutch, slowly press the accelerator and the 1721 starts up without effort, gradually asking other gear ratios until you set a cruising speed which you move.
Obviously, to keep the engine in the range ideal in terms of power and torque, will require different gear ratios if you do not want to abuse the car, especially when riding in a country like ours, with a terrain so full of details. Six speeds ensure keep the engine system, no matter how quickly the flat sections alternate, the ups and the downs and winding paths with rafts or change of grade. Eaton, a specialist in clutches immemorial, has developed a hydraulic type of gentle handling, which makes a thing of the past to have a left foot iron. You can choose to keep the engine throttle based regimen or using the clutch many times as desired, without fatigue and without impairing its durability.
Another advantage of the Cummins turbodiesel engine that takes the Cargo 1721 is offering its full capacity at such low RPM, resulting in low fuel consumption (275 liters tank offers a range greater than 500km in normal conditions) and, above all , low noise and vibration.
Regardless of the mild character of the engine, one of the great hallmarks of this range is the Ford truck cab, developed in Brazil (where it is still much of the road is packed dirt or asphalt very rough) to absorb vibration levels always generates a diesel engine (even if it is so well insulated and so firmly mounted on the chassis like this one), noise and smoke. Ford certainly has imposed a way of making cabs in trucks and industrial concerns in Office 1721 that is in the form of a spacious body, easily accessible through large doors, very bright with good height on the floor, well equipped and modern appearance, which we dare to compare with the huge and impressive long-haul trucks that travel the roads of Europe. Obviously there are standard items such as belts and safety glass or air conditioning and a well equipped instrument panel and also the seats are anatomically designed, with good support and cushioning correct hardness to ensure comfort on long trips. Except for the coating of the seats and certain details, the interior trim is dark plastic by good visual quality and overall fit of the cabin is quite remarkable.
Usually no one buys a truckload of seven tons of capacity to move around the city and the Cargo has its natural habitat in the long transfers between cities, where it behaves smoothly and solvency. However if required to do some work in town or go a urban stretch to reach the end of our journey between two cities, it is good to know that we have here a truck handy, with a turning radius quite reasonable. The old F750 made its driver suffered a long nose that required to reduce the size of the cargo or, if that was not the solution to unnecessarily extend the length of the vehicle. In the case of 1721 there is even the option of choosing between two chassis sizes, almost 6mts or 8.3mts, the first case for heavy loads but low volume and industrial machinery may be, or when making trips into town or more intricate way, while the second case is special for those carrying heavy but very bulky (eg plastic, or removal) and / or required to meet special applications. In both cases the suspension on both axes is rigid type with telescopic shock absorbers and springs.
In general, Ford Cargo serves white, black and indigo blue, but if you’re willing to place an order and wait a little, you could get the unit painted in bright red or in a striking dark green. In any case we are confident that, regardless of color, here are specific enough to make a good investment and also part of Ford’s leadership in the area of commercial vehicles due to a large dealer network and competent to Throughout the country, which is always an extra warranty.
