Model Preview
As the big sibling to the rest of Ford’s F-truck lineup, the F-450 is back again for the 2022 model year and ready to work. With an MSRP that ranges from $54,370 all the way up to $95,260 depending on which trim and features consumers pick, this large pickup carries over with no significant changes.
While the F-150 has more trims than the rest of its siblings, the F-450 is similar to the F-250 and F-350 and is available in six trims: the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. Depending on the configuration, the F-450 can come in a Regular Cab, Super Cab, or Crew Cab layout with up to four doors, and have a truck bed that is either 6.75 feet or eight feet in length.
The interior is made available with some nicer touches such as leather-trimmed front passenger seats with heating and ventilation, two-toned accent colored molding and paint, and a leather-trimmed front seatbelt with Active Motion. On the more tech side of the cabin, the F-450 offers FordPass Connect, an eight-inch LCD screen, a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system with subwoofer, and SYNC 3 or 4 with voice recognition depending on the trim.
As for the powertrain, the F-450 is equipped with a 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbodiesel engine with TorqShift and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Not to let safety be forgotten, Ford also includes safety features like AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Blind Spot Information System, cross-traffic alerts, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, adaptive steering, pre-collision assist, trailer tow and a trailer tow camera system, and power-deployable running boards.
This massive truck can find competition in the likes of the Ram 3500 and GMC Sierra 3500HD.
