Totally new when first introduced back in 2008, and since heavily revised, the new F-450 is the biggest, most capable truck you can buy from Ford without resorting to visiting Ford's Commercial Trucks dealer.

Slotted above Ford's F-150, F-250 and F-350 pickups, the F-450 is fitted with a new in-house diesel that better matches the extreme duty payload and towing capabilities of the F-450.

The F-450 pickup rides on its own unique chassis, not shared with the lesser Super Duties. It also incorporates a new rear leaf-spring suspension while using the radius arm front suspension from the F-450 chassis cab, which Ford says makes for the tightest turning radius in its class, improving maneuverability especially when towing. Serious towing seems to be this truck's mission in life and reason for being.

In the F-450, you only get Ford's all-new twin-turbo 6.7 liter Scorpion diesel engine. This new engine is billed as the most powerful Ford pickup diesel motor ever, producing an almost unbelievable 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque with a single turbocharger, an improvement of 50 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing model - despite switching from two to one turbocharger.

The F-450 has a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of 13,050 lbs and a payload of 4,920 lbs and towing capacity of 24,400 lbs, the last with a fifth-wheel hitch and proper equipment.

Just three trim levels of the F-450 exist: the XL, the XLT and the Lariat.

The F-450 comes as a Crew Cab only, with a standard front bench, meaning it can carry six. Opting for two front buckets decreases that count to five. Buyers get an 8-foot long box and the only big option is four-wheel drive. Dual Rear Wheels are standard on all F-450s and each of the six shiny rims are 19.5 inches in diameter.

Key Competitors
Though brand loyal buyers of heavy-duty, full-size pickups seldom cross-shop their preferred vehicle with its competitors, those looking at the F-450 can nonetheless compare the big truck with the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD/GMC Sierra 3500HD twins and the Ram 3500.
