More and more operators are appreciating the time and money-saving benefits of the 13 Series cab. And more and more drivers are discovering that driving a Ford commercial can be as untiring and pleasant as driving their own car.
To take the operator's point of view first : time off the road is money lost. So vehicle servicing must be quick and efficient. This applies both to major overhauls and routine maintenance.
The D Series cab can be tilted in less than half a minute and provides unrivalled access to the engine and ancillaries.
And for the driver, the Custom Cab, standard on the D1000, has seats that are deep and correctly shaped. All controls are light and positive, and in the right place. There is full walk-through access. Instruments are comprehensive and properly laid out. Heating and ventilation work efficiently to provide just the right cab climate all year round. Vision is first-class.
The Custom Cab looks after the driver; the driver, in turn, looks after his vehicle—he's proud of it; your investment is safeguarded.
Like every Ford, the D1000 has comfort and safety as standard equipment. It pays—in every way.
Unrivalled specification choice
Ford volume-produces 'custom-b,I:it' trucks and tippers. With the idest range of permutations for both powertrain and load-carrying components, Ford will provide the right vehicle for your job—whatever it may be. No other manufacturer can come within a mile of Ford for sheer value.
