The Ford LCF is a medium-duty cabover truck, marketed by Ford Motor Company from 2006 to 2009. Produced in a joint venture with Navistar International, the LCF were manufactured in the same facility in General Escobedo, Mexico that produced the Ford F-650/750 Super Duty conventionals; the first cab-over vehicle sold by Ford since the sale of the US rights to the Ford Cargo design to Freightliner in 1996, they competed against the Isuzu NPR and its rebadged Chevrolet/GMC variants. Sold in various wheelbases, it has been used in various configurations, including dump trucks, fire trucks, tow trucks, box trucks, crane/bucket trucks, flat beds and stake bodies; the chassis was based on existing F-Series architecture. The cab was derived from the Japanese Mazda Titan introduced in 2000. Standard features included a painted grille. Styled similar to the Super Duty trucks, the grille of the LCF differed from its International counterpart, which featured vertical bars; the LCF and CF were fitted with a single powertrain: a 4.5L V6 version of the 6.0L PowerStroke/VT365.
