What an IDDIOT the guy writing that article. "The wheels are especially cool, as they’re 19.5-inches — the same as a semi-truck’s. With the F-450 Super Duty Platinum, Ford is banking on size mattering."
What is really sad about the 450 is it's 9,100# rear axle weight rating compared to the RAM's 9,750# someone correct me if that is not correct.
If I towed my MobileSuites with the F450 my rear axle would be over the 9,100# rating at 9,580#.
The reality is the F450 should be able to handle MUCH more weight than that.
The F450 and RAM 3500 are both SAE J2807 rated to do what they claim unlike the F350.
Fact is the RAM is a 4500 in 3500 clothing.
