The 2024 Ford F-450 SD. The name screams BIG. That’s because it is Ford’s largest passenger truck size. For 47 years, the F-series trucks have been North America’s Truck of the Year. J.D. Power also recognized the 2024 Super Duty trucks as the #1 heavy-duty truck for long-term reliability.

Dominating the Toughest Jobs: The 2024 Ford F-450 SD

The Toughest Jobs

The F-450 SD was built to handle a goose-neck camper or livestock trailer loaded with the kids’ prized horses. The specially designed trailer navigation system will configure the best route to the campground or horse show, avoiding low bridges or tight turns. It can also pull the company yacht out of the marina at the end of the season with several towing features, including Hill Start Assist, Trailer Sway Control, and Trailer Brake Control.

Home builders need the ability to handle a lot of equipment and sometimes assistants. The F-450 SD has the chops to seat six adults while towing a trailer of construction tools and materials.

The Toughest Truck

When you need big things moved, the F-450 SD has the power to do it. Its 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine produces 475 horsepower and 1050 lbs.-ft. of torque. It has a TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission with four drive modes. It’s available with a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain. It has power hydraulic steering, ABS, heavy-duty gas shock absorbers, an extended axle Wide Track front suspension with stabilizer bar, and a solid rear axle.

It has trailer tow mirrors with heated glass and 19.5-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires. The cab is available in regular, which seats three people, or in Super Cab and Crew Cab, which seats six people.

The Toughest Customers
