Ford Super Duty trucks are legendary for their durability and reliability. The F450 is a top seller year after year. These trucks are used all over the world on countless jobs each day.

Ford offers several power train options on F450 and Super Duty models to meet the requirements of any job. Two gas versions are available, a 5.4 liter 3 valve SOHC rated at 300 horsepower, and a 6.8 liter 10 cylinder 3 Valve SOHC rated at 362 horsepower. Both engines feature sequential electronic fuel injection. Both have aluminum cylinder heads and cast iron blocks.

The diesel Super Duty is a 6.4 liter Power Stroke 4 valve workhorse that has 350 horsepower and 650 foot pounds of torque. It has cast iron cylinder heads and block. It is inter-cooled and has dual sequential turbochargers. It features gear driven timing and is available with dual alternators for heavy duty lighting applications.

Ford Super Duty trucks are available with either a 6 speed manual transmissions or the Torqshift 5 speed automatic overdrive. The 5.4 liter engine can be matched to a 3.73 or 4.10 rear axle ratio. The 6.8 liter is available with a 4.10 or 4.30 rear axle ratio. The diesel version comes with 4 choices, 3.73, 4.10, 4.30, or 4.88. The Torqshift feature a selectable tow/haul mode that compensates for altitude, grade and load.

An innovative feature available on these trucks is a reverse camera system. A camera mounted in the tailgate handle is monitored in the interior rear view mirror. This is an invaluable aid when backing up, and especially useful when hooking up to a trailer.

Ford Super Duty trucks, including the popular F450 continue to be industry leaders with new options and innovations added each year. The slogan “built Ford tough” is even more true today.
