THE 2017 FORD RAMP TRUCK
The purpose-built race car transporter occupies a specialized and increasingly valued corner of the collector vehicle market, combining practical utility with an intimate connection to the motorsport events and collections it has served. Ford's Super Duty platform — in F-350, F-450, F-550, and F-650 configurations — has long been the chassis of choice for professional-grade ramp truck builds, offering the payload capacity, towing ratings, and mechanical durability demanded by regular competition use. The 2017 model year Super Duty represented a significant generational update, introducing an aluminum-alloy cab structure for reduced weight and improved corrosion resistance, alongside revised powertrain options including the 6.7 litre Power Stroke turbodiesel V8. A well-specified and properly maintained ramp truck represents a genuinely useful acquisition for any collector or competitor with cars to move, and examples with documented motorsport provenance command particular interest.
THE CAR OFFERED
This 2017 Ford is sure to be a reliable stablemate to any collection of cars. Finished in a striking red, this ramp truck benefits from never having lived a hard commercial life and presents as such. Having been custom built by its present owner, a long wheelbase, V-10 gas and extended cab F-650 was purchased from a dealer in New Hampshire, before being sent to Hodges Custom Haulers in Benton KY. A builder of ramp trucks since the 1960's, and still in business and providing customer support today. Ramp trucks have considerable redeeming qualities as they do not need the same level of servicing and complicated operation of a hydraulic "roll back" style truck. With a winch and led work lights there isn't much this truck can't haul. With a scant 23,700 miles, this truck is ready for years and years of service yet.
