The 2019 Ford F-450 represents the pinnacle of the non-commercial fleet. The big dog of the Super Duty lineup, the 2019 Ford F-450 is one of the most capable non-commercial vehicles that money can buy. It is built for extreme towing and hauling, but it also has an expansive interior and modern technology features. If you need maximum capability, it is pretty much in a class of its own. The F-450 offers a maximum conventional tow capacity of 21,000 pounds or up to 34,000 pounds with a gooseneck hitch. With a gross vehicle weight rating as high as 14,000 pounds, the Super Duty can certainly transport whatever needs to be hauled. Hook up your trailer and load up all your heaviest gear and you will still have a vehicle that will pamper you on the longest of road trips. You might not expect it from such a massive vehicle, but the F-450 is available with many technology and safety features The midrange Lariat adds leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with a center console, power-adjustable pedals, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear-seat center armrest and an 8-inch center touchscreen Platinum models, like this truck, add adaptive steering, a built-in tailgate step, a blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert, multicontour front seats, a leather- and wood-trimmed heated steering wheel, and LED headlights, fog lights and taillights automatic high beams, automatic wipers, LED box lighting, unique fender badges, keyless ignition and entry, remote start, a remote-operated tailgate release, upgraded leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, driver-seat memory settings, an easy entry-and-exit driver's seat, a power tilt-and-telescoping and heated steering wheel, and a navigation system.
