Nice truck thanks for sharing.

Why an F450?
Because the neighbor has an F350!

I have nearly 3,000 miles on mine. I've enjoyed this truck better than any I've ever bought. Very quiet, tremendous power and rides very smooth for a high capacity pickup. Ford has underrated the GVWR of this truck by a bunch considering how beefed up the axles and steering components are.
Thanks for the pics. The size of those brakes in a 19.5 wheel. Wow.

I didn't realize they use the same style (2 big leafs) in the F450 as they do in the F250. Which is why it has to ride so well. Will be interested when you folk load them up whether they sag as much, or if the overload spring really helps there.

OK! We towed our fifth wheel today...Awesome torque! Especially noticeable when entering a highway get's this trailer to 65 right now...Fuel mileage as not as good as my tuned 350 on same trip 10 mpg on 350 vs 9.2 on 450...The 450 was even smoother while towing, and a lot more stable...No sag at all...Also like the fact that the bed sits lower naturally than the 350, less angle on the trailer.

Over all very, very pleased...Real nice vehicle.
