Finally bit the bullet and traded my 2009 for this 2014 F450. I haven't gotten to pull the Toy Hauler with it yet but, should have it set up and ready to go soon!

I finally have 1200 miles on it so I am ready to start towing with it. Just need the Voltage back from the dealer with a fixed slide so we can hit the road.

Man that's quite an upgrade! Not just the F450 but going from the 6.4L Navistar to the 6.7L Ford diesel. Here's wishing you many years and miles of happy towing with it! Beautiful truck!

That is a sweet truck!!! Congrats!!!

What kind of pin weight are you running?

In my old 99 F350 Dually with a golf cart in the bed and about 1000 lbs on the hitch and other misc junk in the bed I couldn't get the truck to squat, I only had about 1/8th inch rise in the front fenders with that load.

I do love how a Dually looks. Very nice truck!!!

Thanks!

I am not sure because I haven't hit a scale yet.I assume close to 3000 lbs as I could put a golf cart and misc. stuff(1200lbs or so) in my F250 and my boat behind with a hitch weight of about 500lbs and it would squat less than the TH made it squat.

Question on trim levels:

Is the King Ranch the top or is the Platinum, or are they both the highest trim level?

Nice truck.


They are both about the same. I wanted a solid color truck this time and you can't get that with the King Ranch. I also wanted something completely new(different interior colors) so I opted away from the king ranch package this go round.

Awesome truck. I wish the platinum would have been available in a SC truck, or I could have fit a CC in my garage.

Enjoy and many pleasurable miles.

Pull? You mean you're not just going to throw it in the back and carry it? 😄


I wish...the Voltage still squats the truck pretty good. In this picture, I raised the landing gear just enough to get all of the weight on the hitch.

Here is the 450


This was the 250 before bags.
