The Ford Rhein (type G398TS) is a truck model that Ford Germany manufactured together with its smaller sister model Ford Ruhr between 1948 and 1951.

The new truck came as the successor to the Ford V8-51 and offered only a few changes to it such as larger headlights. It had a V8 gasoline engine with 3924 cc displacement, which initially produced 90 PS (66 kW) and was increased by 5 PS to 95 PS (70 kW) from 1949. The engine power was passed on to the rear wheels via a four or five-speed gearbox. An all-wheel drive system by Marmon-Herrington was also available on request. After a thorough modernization in 1951, the Rhein/Ruhr range was renamed Ford FK, followed by a four-digit code indicating its weight rating.
