The F450 pickup suits me to a “T”, and as long as it has higher rated axles, bigger brakes, a tighter turning radius, and 19.5’s that aren’t available on the F350, that’s the truck I want.

While I'm sure it's not a popular choice (biggest truck you can get with a pickup bed and a gasser), it would seem to be easy to offer, since both engines are available in literally every other configuration of F series Super Duty. I'm surprised the 450 pickup doesn't offer it. (They didn't in 2021 models anyway).

They are sharp looking trucks though! Super Duty’s always have been.

Rams with the dead foot sticking out each side? Oh wait that's a mirror.

Worst mirrors I have ever had , and they continue with them . Wouldn't be the end of the world if they would copy the ford mirrors .

Maybe I'm just easier to please, but I've driven all of the big 3, pulling trailers since the 80s and starting in the 2000s with the SuperDutys, Dodge moose antlers and GMs in 06 when they got the "Ford Style" extendable mirrors and have found them all to be just fine. I'll give the nod a bit to the Ford/GM styles, but the fact that the Ram mirrors fold in and become become less obtrusive when performing soccer dad duties is also a convenience.
Basically all of them since they finally did away with the old tripod, bolt to the door, towing mirrors are great.

Although I'd guess if the Ram mirrors were as bad or unpopular as a few folks like to profess, Ram would have changed them up rather than continuing with the same concept from 20 years ago. But they're probably trying to please the majority, not the minority. Sell more trucks that way....

Just go to the dark side.

I got close enough to grab a Ram by the horns and take it for a spin and a quote this time.

Any indication that the 7.3L is going to be an option in the F450 pickup? That’s what I’m waiting to hear.

You can get the 7.3 in an F450 chassis cab.

When Ford upgraded their gas engine and transmission to the 7.3 with 10 spd I jumped all over it.

Love my “Antlers” mirrors. I even bought an OE set for my 01 Sport.

Because your time was so important you still spent the time to look through it?

Welcome to GOM.net (that's grumpy ole men...)

If you must know, my truck is now ten years old and I might replace it. Doing a little bit of research could be helpful, but there is no way of knowing what is in a video till you watch the useless thing.

A bit of maturity might come with age, deal with it.

Do you think if people didn’t care about fluff they would pay cash for their vehicles? Seems most people borrow money to buy vehicles but I’m gonna guess that those who pay cash might be more likely to buy the top of the line models.

Just my experience, buying a number of new trucks, having paid cash for all, but other than one GM that was fully loaded, I have never moved above the Ford XLT pkg. I could purchase a Platinum, if I wanted, but have no need of the added fluff. That's just me though, I know others love all the gadgets/fluff.

My previous truck was the Ford XLT Superduty 7.3, to date best truck I have had, minus the power . :B
