08 f-450

[fullthrottle1000]

Seeing quite a few of these trucks now with low km.Seem to be fairly well priced.Should I get one to replace my 06 f-350 daily driver.

Are you overloaded now? Do you need the increased weight hauling and towing capacity of the F-450? If yes, then trade for the F-450. If not, why do you want an F-450?

My 06 is a srw and has a 8 inch lift its usless basically.I am going to buy a camper for this summer so I wanted a f450 also then a can pull any of the trailers we have around the farm.It will be used empty and not hauling anything 95 percent of the time.

An F-450 pickup is what you need to haul a 11.5' slide-in truck camper with slides. You'll have weight capacity for about 5,500 pounds, and it's easy to load up an 11.5' camper to overload even an F-450. (That's why they make F-550s. )

As for as towing farm trailers, That puppy will tow a wet and loaded trailer grossing up to around 24,000 pounds without being overloaded, so it's really good for that.

It will be used empty and not hauling anything 95 percent of the time.

But as a commuter car, it stinks!

how much is in your budget?

I drive mine everyday - 140 miles round trip. Truck saved my life last spring

Now I am thinking a will wait for the 2011.The smaller wheels will open up choice for tires etc.Hopefully they will still have the tighter turning radius and other benifits that I like with the current 450's.Its a tough decision but because like I said there is good buys on new used.

tighter turning radius and other benifits that I like with the current 450's I would say no it will have the same as the 350's.

the 2011 is ugly.

you have to go to options to get what is now std.

GVWR is identical
