2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty 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.
