When we think of trucks, we think of Ford. With best-in-class horsepower, GCWR, payload, and the best 5th-wheel and conventional towing in its class, the Ford F-450 Super Duty is a truck that gets the job done.
Basics of the F-450
The F-450 boasts an incredible maximum gooseneck towing capacity of 37,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 7,850 pounds. The truck comes standard with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 Turbo Diesel. The diesel engine is required to achieve the maximum towing capacity and features 1,050 pound-feet of torque. The other engines are a 6.2- liter V-8 gas and a 7.3- liter V-8 gas.
The F-450’s trim levels are XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Most models have additional cosmetic options, wheel designs, and engine choices.
New and Unique Features
The F-450 increased its infotainment display to 12 inches and featured the all-new SYNC 4 on upper trim models.

The technology helps you keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel while you drive.
Bluetooth audio is integrated into the SYNC system and lets you wirelessly control your entertainment from your smartphone with voice commands. Incoming text messages can be read aloud to you, and 911 Assist can call for help in an emergency if you can’t.
