Overview
Full-size trucks may be the most popular vehicles sold in the U.S., but even those accomplished pickups have limitations. For example, a properly equipped Ford F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds. But what happens when you need to tow heavier trailers? That's when you step up to the heavy-duty truck class, and you can't do much better than the burly 2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty.
In fifth-wheel trailer configurations, the F-450 can tow up to 37,000 pounds (about as heavy as a loaded school bus), thanks to a potent turbodiesel engine that cranks out a jaw-dropping 1,050 lb-ft of torque. But in addition to having the muscle of a serious work truck, the F-450 also has the smarts and refinement to appeal to a wider audience. At the high end of the lineup, you can get a positively luxurious truck with amenities we're used to seeing from BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
For 2022, the higher-trimmed F-450 models gain the new Sync 4 infotainment system along with a striking 12-inch touchscreen. Besides giving the cabin a modern, tech-forward appearance, it includes over-the-air updates and an upgraded voice activation system capable of recognizing natural speech.
Even without the new infotainment upgrade, the 2022 F-450 is a solid alternative to the equally capable Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD and Ram 3500. The F-450 is a bit more expensive than those rivals, but we're confident demanding truck buyers will find the added cost worth it.
Which F-450 Super Duty does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the XLT trim if you're seeking a work-focused heavy-duty truck. The inclusion of an upgraded infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with the Co-Pilot360 suite of safety features, give it a considerable edge over the base XL model. For those who want a luxurious family tow vehicle, the Lariat and Platinum trims are worth consideration.
Ford F-450 Super Duty models

A 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard, and four-wheel drive (4WD) is optional.
