CFT8000

This Ford medium/heavy-duty nameplate belonged to the Cargo-family cab-over truck line used for vocational hauling, chassis-cab, and other commercial applications. It appears in Ford heavy-truck parts and service references as far back as the 1988 model year and continues through the 1997 model year, making it a late-era example of Ford’s North American Cargo series. In Ford’s own heavy-truck documentation, it is listed alongside related Cargo variants such as the CF8000, reflecting the line’s role as a work-oriented platform rather than a consumer truck. The model was part of Ford’s broader effort to cover medium-duty and heavier commercial buyers with configurable straight-truck and chassis-cab combinations. By the end of the 1990s, Ford’s heavy-truck offerings in North America moved away from the Cargo badge, and this nameplate does not appear as a later revival.
