    Ford Trucks Tractor Series

    Ford Trucks Tractor Series TRUCKS Sharing the load It’s the way of the world... Wherever we travel, we long for those we leave behind. A burden shared is a burden halved. And that’s why we’re here: to share the load. To love takes strength. But it takes greater strength to leave the ones you love behind. The long journey may be fuelled with diesel, but it’s the little photo on the dashboard and our cherished memories that keep us going. We know how long the road can seem... How quickly seasons change and how children grow taller with every passing day. We transport tons of grain for the sake of a simple loaf shared among friends and loved ones. They say in business, “Your word is your bond”. When measured on a scale, what has greater weight than a promise? And when people have put their faith in you, who do you turn to? We will get there whichever way the road turns. We may carry a load, but we deliver a promise. Perhaps one day machines will carry our burdens as well as our load. But until then, we’re the ones on this road. Join us. We’re moving forward... They say “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together...” Sharing the load... 2 3 Ford Trucks Tractor Series: Moving forward with every new feature It’s no easy feat to carry the load across long distances on international and intercity roads. It’s hard to beat the fierce competition and even harder to find a powerful companion that will share your load… Ford Trucks Tractor Series offers high performance with low fuel consumption, thanks to the powerful Ecotorq engine.
