Ford is known for its brawn and reliability, and the 2026 Ford F-550 adds even more utility to the mix! We have shuttle van versions of this model available at Midwest Transit Equipment, so check out our customer testimonials to see why you should visit our dealership.
Engineering
Let’s begin under the hood of the 2026 Ford F-550. Thanks to the standard 6.8L V10 engine at its heart, you will have no trouble passing slower traffic on I-90. It generates up to 385 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft. of torque and provides you with a 9,240-lb. payload rating1. You will have the option to spring for an optional 6.7L V8 Power Stroke® Diesel engine to get an alternative fuel system with 330 horsepower and 750 lb.-ft. of torque. When properly equipped with this motor, the Ford F-550 is able to achieve a 12,730-lb. maximum payload capacity1, which is plenty to transport many passengers and their luggage. Additionally, a standard 10-speed automatic transmission makes this vehicle smooth to pilot across Chicago.
Interior
If you need a vehicle with plenty of room for passengers and cargo, the 2026 Ford F-550 is going to be right up your alley. It has space for 24, 29, or 34 passengers, depending on the version you choose, and each person will have a great deal of area to stretch out. This model comes with standard durable vinyl upholstery, while higher trim levels upgrade this to leatherette or leather in order to pamper all of your guests. When you are heading to 31st Street Beach, turn on the available dual-zone automatic climate control system to split the front row into two separate temperature areas. That way, you won’t have to debate about the heating or cooling! Use the standard 4.2-inch Productivity Screen to see all the important vehicle information along the way.
Exterior
The exterior of the 2026 Ford F-550 has many convenient features that make it even more enticing to business owners and travel enthusiasts alike. It has bus-style doors that swing open for maximum accessibility. In addition to this, it boasts rear egress windows that can be easily exited in case of an emergency. Since this is a shuttle bus, it is essential that it keeps the passengers inside comfortable, which is why solar-resistant windows are included. To ensure that you can see what lies around the vehicle with ease, you can spring for the optional heated power side mirrors. Come see why this shuttle is so popular at Midwest Transit Equipment at our nearby dealership.
