The F450 pickup also makes a good “Haul Master” if you ignore the 14K GVWR, which I do.
I don’t see the 4.30 axle as much of a negative. I’d prefer a 4.10, but my mileage still averages 10.6, and I can cruise at 65-70 all day, and pass everything uphill on the steepest grades.
BTW, the rear axle ratio is another thing I don’t like (or DIDN’T like) about the chassis cabs. If you wanted the gas engine, 4.88 was your only rear axle option. I haven’t looked at them in a few years so things could have changed, but as long as Ford is building an F450 pickup, that’s what I want.
