Wright Township recently took possession of a new 2024 Ford F550 super duty dump truck.

The truck was purchased from Coccia Ford and upfitted by Powell Trucks at a cost of $120,465. The township used its state Liquid Fuels funds to pay for the vehicle.

The truck is outfitted with LED lights, a Western plow that can be extended from 8 to 11 feet as needed. It has a hydraulic tailgate spreader customized with three chutes to allow more efficient handling of materials such as de-icer, salt, sand, topsoil, rock or other materials.
