non-commercial truck I've ever driven. This is the 2026 F-450 Super Duty Crew Cab Platinum. It has a 6.7 L high output V8 diesel engine.
It's a Power Stroke. It makes 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. it, and then take this thing for a drive and give you guys some driving and give you guys some driving impressions on the road.
let's get that out of the way first. This will tow up to 30,000 lb. 30,000 lb with a hitch or 40,000 lb with a gooseneck. Pretty wild stuff. Interior
gooseneck. Pretty wild stuff. Interior is super luxurious, very well appointed. is super luxurious, very well appointed. This costs, as tested, about $117,000. You've got around $19,000 worth of options on this F-450. Starting price is
options on this F-450. Starting price is about 95, 96 grand. So, not cheap, but if you don't want to make any compromises in terms of capability, and you still want a luxurious barge to drive around,
this F-450 is kind of the king of the hill. This has all the capability of a commercial truck, but with lots of luxuries and amenities inside. We have a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated seats, SYNC 4 with a massive
infotainment screen, two high, four high, and four low, a bunch of different high, and four low, a bunch of different drive modes, normal, slippery, off-road, tow/haul, and eco. Let's hop outside
>> [music] >> and show you this ruby red exterior. and this has 19 and 1/2-in style commercial wheels. We're on a set of
commercial wheels. We're on a set of Continental tires, 225 70R 19 and 1/2 with the duallys. Looks proper.
176-in wheelbase, and anywhere between 5,300 to 6,500 lb of payload.

accessory points. Bed lighting.
A ruler, a step, a handle, all good things in your F-450.
Just give that a little bump and it'll automatically lift up. Look at the size of this hitch. Everything in this feels overbuilt, understressed. The suspension unladen is super stiff.
Very, very firm, but that's why it can handle all that payload and all that towing capability. How long this thing is. It's a massive.

There it is. It is just all torque. Super smooth, incredibly powerful. A lot of power going to those four rear tires.
gallon on the highway, maybe a little bit lower than that in mixed driving. Towing, probably into the single digits depending on what you're pulling.
The plan this week was originally to have this tow the Miata and the BMW M2 everything together with a gooseneck trailer or even a hitch connection in That's on us. But, it could have done it no problem.
What a beast. Let's show you guys what the back seat looks like. You've got your diesel and DEF right there. Little step.
because they didn't like the way they looked. I mean, I guess it's useful. Let's show you the back seat on the Let's show you the back seat on the other side.

this back piece. They kind of feel like it, too. swankier of an interior, but this Platinum is definitely no
but this Platinum is definitely no slouch.
All right, let's hop in. All the controls in here are pretty basic. You've seen them before. We have a B&O sound system. Let's go drive this thing and see what it's like on the road.
One of the biggest wins with the F-450 versus the F-350 is a tighter turning Let's go show that to you over there in that parking lot.
maneuverability here is actually fantastic. That's exactly what you want if you're hauling a big, heavy, long load.
spot. Look at that. That is amazing. Look at that. That is amazing. Just incredible turning radius here. Just basically rotating on that rear wheel.
if you're driving around on smooth roads, this drives awesome. If you're on any type of bumpy pavement without anything in the bed or connected it's going to be pretty stiff. We'll show you some of that ride quality on
But, the stiffness in the suspension is load. And that's what this thing is all about.
towing eight cars, eight cars, you can do it all.
There's substitute towfer in the Denali, also a diesel.
Ah! 1,200 lb ft of torque is plenty.

mirrors don't obstruct your side view too much. Of course you can extend them out for even better visibility. Look at that. Or bring them back in.
the upper mirror is just low enough that you can see over it. I haven't had any hamper visibility with this thing in traffic this week.
that had tow mirrors and you just couldn't see anything out of those couldn't see anything out of those trucks. It was almost dangerous. This is a really nice tow mirror set up here in this F450.
It's super linear. Very easy to modulate.

store, it's got fantastic visibility. That rear end isn't as wide as you think it is going around corners.
immediately, and I'm not really used to driving trucks of this big.
Show you guys passing power here. Doesn't even need a downshift. if this thing would even be breaking much of a sweat. I read somewhere that
the ratings are actually a little bit underrated here on this F-450 just to kind of get below certain commercial thresholds and limits. If there's any new vehicle on the road today that's over built,

This tilting telescoping steering wheel is super easy to operate. Seats, same This does the same thing that my Raptor does. It prompts you to keep your hands on the steering wheel even though you're applying a little bit of input. It's a

I've really enjoyed driving this thing this week. It's been fun. It's always little bit different on the channel. Hopefully enjoyed this video. We'll see Hopefully enjoyed this video. We'll see you guys in the next one. Take it easy.
Here's your key. You got a remote start. Pop a tailgate.
And raise the tailgate. Nice handles here and steps. Need to back up a little bit. Don't know if I fit everything in one frame here.
