RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Grech Motors is now offering a 2017 Ford F-550 luxury bus with its new GM33 model.
Equipped with either a 6.7-liter V8 turbo diesel engine or 6.8-liter V-10 gasoline engine, the new F-550 GM33 minicoach can seat up to 27 passengers as a shuttle with rear luggage.
The vehicle’s new front cab features a sleeker, aerodynamic profile and redesigned grill.
Ford’s new F-550 chassis features a fully boxed under-cab and C-channel aft-of-cab frame made of 95 percent high-strength steel with up to 10 crossmembers (8 through-welded). Torsional rigidity is eight times greater than the previous design.
Connected to this new frame is a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloy body, which is lighter than the steel previously used yet is immensely strong. It’s also more dent-and ding-resistant and not subject to red rust corrosion. This complements Grech Motors’ riveted, aircraft-grade aluminum skin.
In addition to its stronger body and frame, the 2017 Ford F-550 chassis also features larger and heftier suspension, brakes, driveline, transfer case and axles.
