Numbers rarely prove your ally - revealing an ever-shrinking bank account, an ever-rising budget, and a waistline that seems to expand with each day. With the release of the 2017 F-450 Super Duty, however, you may find yourself swayed by mathematics. Ford has fused this pick-up with class-defining capabilities, and it will soon dominate the sales charts.
Car and Driver reports that the 2017 F-450 is a heavy-duty beast. Boasting both a 32-valve diesel V8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission, this platform roars down every road - with its direct-injection, turbocharged intercooling system ensuring maximum performance. It delivers incredible power, accommodating every conventional towing (21,000 pounds) and fifth-wheel trailering (31,100 pounds) need; and it also generates surprising deftness:
0 to 60: 8 Seconds.
0 to 80: 13.9 Seconds.
Rolling Start (5 to 60): 8.6 Seconds.
Top Gear (30 to 50): 4.2 Seconds.
The F-450 Super Duty proves nimble on the highway, shouldering every load with ease. This makes it ideal for drivers in search of an everyday performer - one that can transition from work to play.
Numbers never lie… and this Ford truck impresses with every mile.
