Arriving early next year, the redesigned pickup truck has an 8000-pound payload and up to 40,000-pound tow rating.
All the above engines are paired with 10-speed automatics, with 4x2 powertrains in the lower trim levels and 4x4s standard on XLT trim levels and above.
As for that 40,000-pound max trailer rating, it’s only available on a gooseneck-rigged F-450 Reg Cab paired with the 6.7-liter HO diesel and the “Max Tow Package.” Ford points out, “Max towing” varies based on cargo, vehicle configuration, accessories, and number of passengers. Still, 40,000 pounds—that's more than 10 Ford Mustangs!
There’s even something called Trailer Navigation that identifies the best real-time drive route to take based on trailer size. The Ford Pro Upfit Integration System makes adding and operating special work equipment such as lights, cranes, or snowplows “easier than ever,” Ford promises. Added tech features include a 2.0-kilowatt Pro Power Onboard setup that can power up a worksite as well as an embedded 5G modem with WiFi for up to 10 devices.
