Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2018 F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis.
The 2018 Ford F-59 Commercial Stripped Chassis is evaluated within a model complaint history covering 2011 through 2026, a long-term span that reached a documented high of five complaints for the 2020 model year and a low of one for 2014. Because those extremes belong to other years, the 2018 model sits in the midstream of that reliability record, neither marking the generation’s peak complaint period nor its quietest documented point. That placement gives researchers a baseline reference removed from both ends of the observed range, situating it squarely inside the model’s established historical profile without touching its documented highs or lows.
0–60 mph, quarter-mile, horsepower and torque from independent road tests.
