Ford Motor Co. has made IMT aware that Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is to be standard on all 2023
F650/750 models. This feature prohibits the modification of wheelbase or suspension components on these

be ordered to delete ESC.
IMT’s position as it relates to 2023 F650/750 chassis will be as follows:
1) All F650/750 chassis sent to IMT for upfitting of any body type should have ESC deleted by
specifying option 18A.
2) Any chassis received without option 18A selected and has ESC installed will be subject to
the following:
a) IMT will not alter the wheelbase.
b) IMT will not perform unit leveling.

ISSUE / DESCRIPTION:
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is now STANDARD for 2023MY F650/750 Vehicles
ESC Delete, Order Guide Sales Code 18A, should be selected for chassis where the vehicle vertical center of gravity (CG) is
not known at the time of order OR for other anticipated modifications (such as wheelbase length modifications,
aftermarket 4x4 conversions, rear suspension revisions, etc.) If the wheelbase is going to be modified post manufacture, then ESC Delete must be ordered.
Note that ESC Delete is not available on vehicles ordered with Tractor Package or on vehicles ordered with optional Driver
Assisted Technology (DAT) packages.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is designed to help drivers maintain control of their vehicle. ESC helps preventing
vehicle skids or lateral slides by applying the brakes to one or more of the wheels individually and, if necessary, decreases
engine power.
Vehicles ordered with air brakes in addition to the standard ESC require that the Ford dealer select the expected vertical
CG of the completed vehicle with customer payload. The following vertical CG range options are available:
Ford dealers should be working with upfitters to assist them with the determination of the optimal vertical CG
range option of the completed vehicle.
Alternatives for determining vertical CG are discussed in the Body Builder Layout Book (BBLB) “General” section. The
BBLB can be accessed at www.fordbbas.com under PUBLICATIONS. For F650/750, the vertical CG of the chassis as
built by Ford should be assumed as the top of frame siderail height from ground at the longitudinal midpoint of the vehicle.
Note: THERE ARE NO PROVISIONS TO REVISE THE ESC MODULE CALIBRATION
ONCE VEHICLES HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY FORD.
