The Ford F-450 is Ford's newly redesigned Super Duty full-sized truck. It appropriately mixes innovation, comfort, and style into a vehicle that competes with impressive torque rating, tow capacity, and payload.
The Ford F-450 is a full-size and fully capable vehicle, equipped for heavy loads, many passengers, and amenity-lovers. The full-sized truck comes powered with a twin-turbo 6.4-liter Power Stroke diesel creating 350 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. It has a 12,000 pound towing capacity or 6000 pound payload rating. Power is delivered through a heavy-duty TorqShift five-speed automatic transmission with Tow/Haul mode. Other available engines include 362 horsepower 6.8-liter Triton gas V-10 that also uses the new-design five-speed TorqShift transmission or a 300 horsepower 5.4-liter Triton gas V-8. The vehicle is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive. The F-450 bridges the gap to civil vehicles with many refinements, such as a supplemental heating for fast interior warm-ups on cold days, heated seats, DVD navigation, power sliding rear window, and a folding tailgate step.
Almost everything about the truck is great. Ordered with all options except navigation......Opted for manual shift 4 wheel drive.....Kingranch option. I had zero problems so far..... and I highly recommend this truck.

This truck rides excellent, interior is beautiful and comfortable. The sound system is top notch. Fuel economy not worse than I was expecting or prepared to handle. Bottom line, I love this truck.

The interior and dash are great and the exterior has the real truck look! King Ranch package, the looks, the pickup an power, the load capacity, the ride compared to the old bumpy trucks, cab heater and navigation are sweet too.

Its a dream to drive truck with great acceleration. Overall fit and finish - excellent. Rides amazingly well even without load. Super-quiet, comfortable interior. Complicated, but very capable nav system.
