Well here is a new Ford Truck you have never heard of
It also has a 12.7 litre Diesel all Ford engine Looks like it has borrowed from a Volvo Cabover in the design. Can you guess who makes it?

Do not know about a specific name . It has a 500hp Ecotorq engine. Give you a clue the Transit Connect is built there.
It is a Ford H62X Cargo.
Looks nice, and I miss seeing the old heavy duty cabovers like the Ford W9000. However, they don't make much sense here when a conventional cab achieves much better fuel economy due to being more aerodynamic. Luckily, our roads and infrastructure are big enough for conventional trucks while most of the roads in other country's are not. Hence the reason for cabovers in other country's.
No it is not a Ford Cargo. Convential Trucks are dying here. Size of the roads has noting yo fo ehy
I didn't say it was a Ford Cargo. I said it was a Ford H62X Cargo which is the name of it from the people I know and I asked at Ford. You just said that you didn't know the specific name in the post I quoted, but now you are telling me what it isn't? :h
Yes, infrastructure size such as roadways and ferry's has a lot to do with why Europe(where this Ford truck was built for) predominately uses cab overs. North America's larger infrastructure and the need for more aerodynamic trucks is a major reason why we use conventional cabs.
