The F-450 Super Duty is the newest addition to Ford’s F-Series Super Duty line of heavy-duty pickups that also includes the F-250 Super Duty and the F-350 Super Duty. With towing capacity of more than 24,000 pounds and a maximum payload of 6,000 pounds, the F-450 Super Duty is built on its own unique chassis that incorporates a new rear leaf-spring suspension and the radius arm front suspension from the F-450 chassis cab. According to Ford, the F-450 Super Duty offers the tightest turning radius in its class to improve maneuverability when towing. The entire Super Duty line was updated for 2008 with a bold new exterior design and a new interior design.
