2019 Ford F-450

The 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty Lariat represents one of the most formidable combinations of diesel power, heavy-duty capability, luxury, and road presence in Fords Super Duty lineup. This particular F-450 has traveled just 59,456 miles since new and makes an immediate statement in Race Red, complemented by a customized black-and-red leather interior with carbon-fiber trim accents. From its color-matched exterior treatment to its imposing dual-rear-wheel stance, this is an F-450 with unmistakable presence.

At its heart is Fords legendary 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbocharged diesel V8, rated for 2019 at an immense 450 horsepower and 935 lb-ft of torque. Peak torque arrives at only 1,800 rpm, giving the Power Stroke the tremendous low-rpm muscle expected of Fords flagship heavy-duty pickup. Power is routed through Fords heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission, while four-wheel drive adds another dimension of capability. The F-450s heavy-duty engineering also includes its wide-track front axle, a design that provides an impressively tight turning capability for a truck of this size.

The numbers behind the F-450 are equally remarkable. Ford engineered the 2019 F-450 pickup around a 14,000-pound GVWR, and properly configured F-450s were rated for as much as 21,000 pounds of conventional towing. Fords Crew Cab 4x4 configuration could achieve a maximum 32,500-pound gooseneck trailer rating when properly equipped. These are extraordinary figures that demonstrate exactly why the F-450 occupies such a specialized position within the Super Duty family.

This example builds upon that tremendous factory foundation with a commanding customized appearance. The Race Red paint is carried into the color-matched grille and headlight housings, while smoked taillights and badging create a dramatic contrast. Aftermarket black wheels wrapped in aggressive all-terrain/mud tires further transform its stance. A drop hitch adds to the purposeful rear profile, while a tonneau cover provides a clean finishing touch to the F-450s full-length cargo bed.

Inside, the Lariat combines serious truck capability with an environment designed for long-distance comfort. This example features striking custom black-and-red leather seating and carbon-fiber trim accents, giving the cabin an appearance far removed from an ordinary work truck. The power-adjustable front seats are both heated and ventilated, allowing occupants to tailor their seating environment throughout the year. Dual-zone automatic climate control adds further convenience.

Technology is equally well represented. The center infotainment display provides AM/FM audio, Bluetooth connectivity and navigation, while Fords SYNC 3 architecture gives the Super Duty a modern, intuitive interface. The Lariat also brought a more upscale level of equipment to Fords largest pickup, making the F-450 as suitable for covering substantial highway mileage as it is for handling demanding towing duties.

The 2019 model year was also the final year before the major 2020 Super Duty powertrain revisions, leaving the 2019 with the potent 450-hp/935-lb-ft Power Stroke and six-speed TorqShift combination.

With just 59,456 miles, four-wheel drive, dual rear wheels, enormous Power Stroke torque and a carefully selected collection of custom exterior and interior touches, this Race Red 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty Lariat delivers the kind of specification, capability and visual impact that makes Fords flagship heavy-duty pickup so distinctive.
