What kind of F450 is that? Seems like an odd GVWR.
The 2008-2010’s were 14,500. The ~ 2014-2016’s were 14,000. The 2011-2013’s appeared to be rebadged F350’s, and I didn’t pay much attention to them. Not sure what the 2017 and up GVWR’s are like.
Just curious.

Yea I would like to see a pic of the door sticker, I wonder if its one of the f450's ordered without the 19.5's?
I went to portscanner’s website listed in his profile (www.beaglenews.com) and I see a couple of pictures of a White 2017 or newer Superduty. If it’s an F450, it does in fact have eight-lug wheels on it, so I would say those are not 19.5’s.
I’m disappointed to see that Ford is once again selling these dumbed down F450 pickups. Maybe not as bad as those abominations they were selling in 2011-2013, as it appears that portscanner’s at least still has the wide-track front axle (front wheel well extensions look wide). But for cripes sake, they shave about 700 lbs off the gross weight by going with an aluminum body, then throw away the opportunity to have an impressive payload by going small on the running gear. No offense intended to the truck’s owner.
