2019 Ford F-450 Superduty Overview
The 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty remained a dominant force in the heavy-duty truck segment, offering best-in-class towing, advanced safety features, and a high-strength aluminum body. As part of the fifth-generation Super Duty (2017-Present), the F-450 continued to push the limits of durability and power, solidifying its reputation as the most capable factory-built heavy-duty pickup truck.
For 2019, Ford made refinements to the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, increasing durability and keeping its impressive 450 HP and 935 lb-ft torque rating. The maximum 5th-wheel/gooseneck towing capacity remained at 35,000 lbs, and the Platinum and King Ranch trims continued to offer luxury-focused buyers a premium experience.
With industry-leading towing, high-end technology features, and rugged dependability, the 2019 F-450 Super Duty was a top choice for serious haulers, fleet operators, and luxury-heavy-duty truck buyers. Here at Hillbilly Auto we see a good amount of them come through.

Jack’s been wrenching since before he could spell “carburetor,” back when his science fair project was keeping a ’79 C10 on the road with nothing but snow in the bed and pure stubbornness. He’s swapped rancid Hyundais for pocket change, sent trucks flying off-road like they were auditioning for a Dukes of Hazzard reboot, and once thawed a diesel tank with plywood, lighter fluid, and what he swears was “innovative engineering.” These days, Jack channels that same hillbilly wizardry into Hillbilly Auto Supply, your one-stop shop for quality used Ford Super Duty truck parts. If it’s built Ford tough, Jack will make it tougher so your Powerstroke rig continues to haul freedom down the highway.
