This beast is something special. “What a workhorse,” says Motor Trend. Its name – stamped front and center. And Super Duty only gets tougher from there. This year, a new F-450 Regular Cab 4x2 hits the ground towing a best-in-class 35,000 lbs. blacked-out exterior trim and black-painted aluminum wheels.

Inside, a new specially tuned, 1,000-watt B&O PLAY™ Premium Audio System by HARMAN4 gets the cabin rocking like never before. While a new FordPass

THE DNA OF

Built Ford Tough®is more than just a brutal testing regimen. It’s a battle cry. One filled with honor, courage and determination to never rest – until the job’s done right. With over 12 million cumulative miles of customer-equivalent testing logged, the all-new 2017 and successive 2019 Super Duty earned their Blue Ovals. Being tortured in the lab. On the proving grounds. And working in the real world. By running up and down steep grades. With maximum trailer weights. Then up and down again. In subzero cold. And in stifling heat. With more trucks on the road with 250,000 miles than any other brand, there’s nothing tougher than Ford F-Series.

All Super Duty pickups have 6 airbags, including the side-curtain airbags of the Safety Canopy®System. Crew Cab models also offer class- exclusive inflatable rear safety belts enhance occupant protection.

We virtually test Super Duty components in the lab, then punish vehicles at the proving grounds towing dynamometer sleds. Then on public roads and highways at temperatures from

20° to 120°F. We also put prototype models in the hands of people like you, working in some of the most demanding industries. We conduct thermal shocks that swing ambient temperature 250°F in under 2 minutes, as well as powertrain tests that replicate going up a 6% grade over 500 miles. Super Duty also endures 4-post frame -twists, gravel, water, salt brine and mud baths. We’re talking about extreme conditions – far beyond what you would likely encounter. All so that you can be confident that Super Duty is engineered to handle your toughest jobs. And more.

NO RED RUST. THAT’S OUTSIDE-THE-BOX THINKING. And just one amazing benefit of the first-and-only body and cargo box in its class made from high-strength, military-grade, aluminum alloys. It’s also more dingresistant than the previous-generation Super Duty. And by saving up to 350 lbs. of weight, it allowed us to upgrade essential components – frame, axles, leaf springs, transfer case, driveline and trailer hitches.

UP TO 24 TIMES STIFFER THAN THE PREVIOUS GENER ATION. Thanks to a fully boxed ladder frame made with high-strength steel and through-welded, closed-section crossmembers. The result? The best ride and steering of any Super Duty ever.

EXTREME DURABILITY AND CORROSION PROTECTION results from an e-coat paint process that electrostatically bonds a protective barrier to the frame.

Among heav y-duty trucks, torque is king. And Super Duty boasts more than anyone else in the kingdom. Its B20-capable 6.7L Power Stroke®V8 Turbo Diesel both lead their categories in torque delivery. A rugged TorqShif t®6-speed SelectShift®automatic transmission that’s just as hard working is paired with them. Its progressive range select mode lets you narrow the available gear range in difficult road/load conditions, while tow/haul mode reduces frequent gear shifting on uphill grades and allows engine braking to help maintain vehicle speed while descending.

Plus, a live- drive power takeoff (PTO) provision anytime, providing stationary and mobile-mode PTO capability. Both engines and the transmission are designed, engineered and built by Ford, so each Built Ford Tough®powertrain works seamlessly with chassis components and vehicle calibrations.

Its class-leading torque output speaks volumes to the workers who rely on it daily. “That is closing in on 18-wheeler levels of twist,” says AutoWee k. Twin-pilot injection delivers smooth, quiet acceleration. Excellent throttle response is delivered in part by a high-pressure, common rail fuel injection system. The fuel pump develops up to 29,000 psi operating pressure, and piezo -controlled fuel injectors provide precise injection. Robust high-altitude performance comes courtesy of the high airflow supplied by the diesel’s variable-geometry turbocharger. Tuned specifically for this application, the turbocharger forces air into the cylinders to deliver maximum power quickly. A driver-controlled engine exhaust brake with on, off and auto settings allow the use of engine braking to help slow down and control vehicle speed. Large fuel tanks – up to 48 gallons maximum

Strength and integrity of the diesel is maintained by a masterful mix of component materials. Compacted graphite iron (CGI) imparts strength and durability to the deep-skirt engine block, while reducing weight.

A stiff SOHC valvetrain with roller-rocker shafts enables an intake - and exhaustport layout that optimizes airflow, helping the E85 -capable 6.2L V8 engine produce plenty of torque down low. Dual-equal variable cam timing phases the intake- and exhaust-valve opening and closing events simultaneously to optimize low-end torque and peak horsepower. By supplying working power throughout the rpm range, the 6.2L V8 delivers an exceptional combination of driveability, hauling and towing performance.

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG)/PROPANE CAPABILITY. A CNG/Propane Gaseous Engine Prep Package readies Super Duty gas models to be upfit for compressed natural gas (CNG) or propane autogas. Providing flexibility and extended range, trucks upfit to a bi-fuel system have the ability to switch between CNG or propane and gasoline and include tanks for each type of fuel. By doing so, you may even qualify for state incentives related to alternative fuel use. Visit www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/laws for details.
