Ford – other models: the collective page of trucks from several national companies, from the British Cargo and German D-series to American ranges such as the B-Series and Econoline, 30 to 368 kW, four- to ten-cylinders of 2.4 to 14 litres

This page gathers the Ford trucks the register could not assign to a named range – an international mix from the British Cargo range through the German D-series from Cologne to American ranges such as the B-Series school-bus chassis and Econoline vans. Ford built commercial vehicles through several independent national companies, each with its own type logic: the German D-series (such as the D1211, D1618) gave the payload class in the first digits and the engine power in the last, the British Cargo range replaced it from 1981, while the North American ranges followed their own designations; a consistent scheme across all continents cannot be read from the register.

The register lists here 126 versions with 30 to 368 kW from four- to ten-cylinders of 2,400 to 14,000 cm³, unladen weights from 1,890 to 12,087 kg and lengths from 4,130 to 11,650 mm; gross weights from 12,020 to 36,077 kg are recorded for 35 models, and fuel for 14 models, split evenly between diesel and petrol.

The range from light vans to heavy long-haul tractor units shows that Ford long offered a complete commercial-vehicle programme through separate national companies, before the heavy ranges developed independently in Europe with the sale of the truck division to Iveco in 1986 and in Turkey with Ford Otosan.

On a used vehicle, different points count depending on the range: on the D and Cargo trucks, rust condition of frame and cab plus clutch and gearbox; on the American ranges, engine condition and body rust; generally, parts availability, which for the European ranges runs through the Ford and Iveco networks, and for the American models usually only through specialist dealers.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
