Bedliners aren't standard on any ford trucks, they are optional on literally all no matter what configuration you get. This may be seen as a good thing because some customers may not want a bedliner.
I am a jeep wrangler guy and when I see what you can get for 100k I don’t understand why the new wranglers are SOOOOOOO EXPENSIVE! Bring back tj prices
That thing is a BEAST!! The carmello interior is beautiful, though I'm always torn between that and the King Ranch when I think about which I'd choose...you know, if I won the lottery and could afford one of these. The F450 has the same tow and payload ratings as the F350, but with SIGNIFICANTLY heavier duty running gear. And that wider front axle makes the thing turn a lot sharper than you'd expect from a dually. Probably the biggest drawback with choosing the F450 vs the F350 is that insurance companies tend to jack the premiums on the F450 because they think it's a commercial truck. Regardless, I would love to own one of these. I've heard those commercial tires ride like they're made of rocks, though, so I'd probably switch them out ASAP.
Just picked mine up yesterday afternoon 200 kms on the clock working her today can’t wait to see what she can do. At 146k Cad I hope it exceeds expectations just like everything else with it has so far!
The tire width is 225, not 275. Those Continental tires are $500 each. Very nice truck, but it would be nice if the spotter mirrors were power as they are on a RAM heavy duty pickup.
Very nice truck but I don't like the front end at all...a matter of taste I suppose. I also don't like the MSRP, but then I have a 2022 F350 Lariat ultimate and paid $73k.
These are awesome trucks for towing! Have a number of them within my company. However, FORD as well as ALL manufacturers had better work hard at getting pricing back to 2019 levels or they will pay a tremendous cost. They are doing the right thing in ditching EV's which has cost them and Shareholders BILLIONS! QUALITY is also paramount: shameful that Ford's CEO openly admitted that he dropped the ball on not demanding QUALITY in everything Ford does.
@lordrayden3045 Agreed. There's only so much dino juice out there. OEM's need to approach it differently as do the EPA and states. We need EV's, we need to keep pushing their development, and to keep using gas and diesel as well in the meantime. And EV's will help ease the demand on the fossil fuels at the pump.@@lordrayden3045
beautiful truck. I ordered a 2023 F450 platinum sept of 2022. i changed that ordered sept 2023 for the 2024 model year. Still waiting on the build date.
I am in same boat. Ordered '23 in Nov 2022, changed to 24 day the 24's opened, 7/17/23. Its my belief that the bedliner and massage seats are the holdup. Also the low % of builds per week.
@@justinstewart9840 I found one in Ohio. Antimatter blue, platinum with the HO 6.7. Made the deal on June 26. The first tow was the first week I had it.
@@fuffthebucks7266I have a friend that is a contract auto carrier that holds 5 cars. He has a 2023. Of course he gets to run it through his business. He does ok for himself but it's a tough job.
I guess this kinda makes sense for this truck because if your pulling 25k pounds you'll probably be traveling a good ways so you probably want a nice interior but year still overkill.
u got a work truck like this I'm sure tour company bring in a 100k a month ppl don't realize how much tradesman make I'm a hvac tech for the last 15 yrs made 64k my first yr and just started my company with my two partners after a few contracts and business is gd I would without a doubt spend 100k on this truck or the ford lighting in a heartbeat lol buts that's just me just dropping my two cents know disrespect just shooting the shit lol hey friend
Any idea as to why Ford would take so long to build a F-450 Limited mine has been on order since last June 11 months now no building in sight no one seems to be able to explain this to me
Ben, I really like your videos but you NEVER do a true test drive. Going around the block doesn't count. Would like to see you do true test drives where you take it on the highway. I was really wanting to see your thoughts on this trucks driving characteristics at highway speeds. This goes for other many videos you post. Around the corner isnt worth calling a "test drive."
What would you expect? These are often customer orders, if it was yours, would you want some YT junkie taking it for a spin down the highway, testing the haul ass ratio, etc?! I'd be pretty pissed off myself.
I have one ordered, it’d agitate me to even see my 1 yr wait being driven by anyone other than Ford Tech. It’s already purchased and wouldn’t be there if not ordered for most Dealerships.
Shocked that it’s only 100k. I was expecting at least 110-115k. Still extremely expensive but you’re getting a lot for this package
With the cost of half tons, I was expecting it to be a lot more as well.
Only 😂😂😂
Well it's not the limited to that's why
@@zillamill ford discontinued the limited package for this year so that’s the top package
I would rather buy this versus suvs and cars in this price range. Then again, I do have a cdl with haz, tanker, and doubles endorsements.
Absolutely the B-E-S-T car reviews on the inter web are Ben Hardy reviews! No BS, all descriptions & facts... Thank you Ben for making these!
How the hell is a bed liner not standard on something like this?
You are right with that price should be completely every where you look!

Congrats bro. Hope it lasts forever
This is so muscular and a great for towing BIG MACHINE and RVS
I would like one of these and a 40 ft. 5th wheel, please.
Expensive, but when you consider what the truck can do and how well appointed it is I can see where such a purchase could be legitimately justified.
It’s HUGE! It’s really loaded, too. The attention to details are amazing.
The tire width is 225, not 275. Those Continental tires are $500 each.
Very nice truck, but it would be nice if the spotter mirrors were power as they are on a RAM heavy duty pickup.
surprised these trucks don't have that work table center console and the f150's do
I went to auto show in Toronto and asked the lady there pound feet of torque and she was confused 😂
What an excellent city truck
Very nice truck but I don't like the front end at all...a matter of taste I suppose. I also don't like the MSRP, but then I have a 2022 F350 Lariat ultimate and paid $73k.
Good working towing anything fantastic ford

Black maverick on the left
Actually there are a ton of mavericks on the lot
I wish they offered that interior color combo on the F-350 Limited. I can't stand the light interior offered.
Then just don’t get the limited trim?
@@3katdSo basically I'm suppose to have fewer features and spend less money? Great strategy by Ford..SMH
@@weirdshibainu limited and platinum have the same features available.
How many batteries does it use? Standard, AGM?

Problem is ford was stupid about it

100k for a work truck??? lol
The reason why it's expensive is because it can haul over 30000 pounds and it is muscular
lol this is either for rich people or contractors who can write off the expenses

Thank you for not putting 'Affordable' in this vids title!
225/70/19.5 is the correct tire size
Not bad for what it ! Drive fir three hours and you will know how stiff suspension is

Sorry....not for a 100k+........
Cybertruck ALL THE WAY!
Make sure you fly your pride flag while driving that cyber thing
@@ricklopez8431
LOL
Interior color kind of ugly. All black leather would be much nicer.
Looks very cheap
Looks like the rear end is higher and the front is lowered am I wrong it does not look level from the rear and front from the side profile
That's because when you add a 20k lb trailer, it'll sit level.
@@AmJaxineer didn't know that thanks for the info
@@texandy89He’s correct. Thats the heavy duty suspension back there. They also ride a lot more comfortably under load.
@@texandy89every single truck ever is built like that
