2025 Ford F-450 Super Duty Regular Cab

The latest light-duty pickups are impressively capable for towing and hauling. But there are still situations where only a monster heavy-duty truck will do, and that's where the 2025 Ford F-450 Super Duty comes in. The F-450 is up to the task with a maximum rating of 40,000 pounds with a fifth-wheel setup. We're guessing few owners need this much capability — that's half as much as what a commercial semi truck can haul — but if nothing else, it's good for bragging rights. The F-450 also works out great for less strenuous tasks. It boasts a roomy cabin and plenty of helpful technology features.

There's no doubt the F-450 has the muscle to tow huge loads, but it also has smart technology to make transport safer and easier. With the availability of the Onboard Scales system, you don't have to worry about overloading the bed with payload. An onscreen readout measures how much weight your payload is. Meanwhile, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Backup Assist eliminate the most stressful parts of towing: lining up the hitch and backing a trailer into a spot. Once underway, the F-450 can help you out with trailer coverage for the blind-spot warning system and a smart navigation system that will help you avoid routes where you may exceed size limitations.

Ford's F-450 Super Duty is for niche buyers with exceptional recreational or commercial hauling needs. If your needs are slightly less exceptional, consider getting the slightly less expensive (and more comfortable) F-350 Super Duty. Other options include the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, GMC Sierra 3500HD and Ram 3500.

The 2025 F-450 Super Duty is offered in six trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Unlike the variety of its F-250 and F-350 counterparts, the F-450 is available only with a dual-rear axle and an 8-foot bed. It is also not available with the extended SuperCab. The XL and XLT trims offer regular-cab and crew-cab (SuperCrew) configurations, while Lariat trims and above only come as a crew cab. The regular cabs seat three across the standard front bench seat, while the crew cabs get six-passenger seating. An available front center console lowers capacity to five.
