The new GM33’s modern design is complemented by the 2017 F-550’s new front cab, which features a sleek, aerodynamic profile and redesigned grill. Furthermore, Ford’s new 2017 F-550 chassis features an all-new, 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 supplements Grech Motors’ riveted, aircraft-grade aluminum skin.
In addition to its stronger body and frame, the 2017 Ford F-550 chassis also features a suspension, brakes, driveline, transfer case, and axles that are larger and heftier for greater strength and capability. The components of the four-wheel anti-lock brakes feature the largest rotors in class, which increases longevity and maximizes stopping power.

Each Best-Run Company is featured in SmartCEO’s 100-page Best-Run Book, a collection of the Baltimore-Washington Region’s best business stories. This valuable, one-of-a-kind guide serves as a platform to tell the stories of those companies who model excellence and as a resource for growing companies and aspiring leaders regardless of company size or industry.
A best-run company must exhibit the highest standards of nine critical aspects: process, vision, customers, culture, leadership, communication, growth, brand, and talent. These firms—generating in excess of $2.76B in collective annual revenue and employing more than 20,000 people—are leaders in their industries, have overcome significant challenges, and have created lasting value in their communities. They span many industries that are succeeding in the Baltimore-Washington region— from IT and government contracting, to staffing and public relations. They exemplify leadership, strategic vision, and character.
"For more than 15 years, SmartCEO’s mission has been to share inspirational stories about the region’s top companies. The Best-Run Book is a shining example of how companies like Reston Limousine and their leadership teams are able to become industry leaders, overcome significant challenges, and create lasting value in their communities,” said Craig Burris, founder and CEO of SmartCEO. "The Best-Run Book is a one-of-a-kind resource that not only honors those included for modeling excellence but also affords growing companies and aspiring leaders the opportunity to glean advice that could change the way they approach one or many aspects of their own business. It’s no question that Reston Limousine and its fellow Best-Run Companies have achieved something truly remarkable."
