Ford Patents Bolt-On Third Axle for F-150 to Boost Payload Capacity
-
Ford has patented a bolt-on third axle for the F-150 to increase payload capacity
-
The extra axle could be made electric to provide extra torque when carrying heavy loads
-
This would allow customers to convert their trucks to 6-wheeled models at the dealer
-
The patent filing says this would be cheaper than Ford's previous Heavy Payload Package
-
Body modifications like new wheel arches may be needed to accommodate the extra axle
