AN INTELLIGENT COMBINATION.
F-450/F-550 Super Duty Chassis Cabs combine large performance numbers — a maximum 5th-wheel trailer weight
of 24,800 lbs.
*
and a maximum conventional trailer weight of 16,000 lbs.
*
— with an efficient, unified system that
maximizes its towing potential. An available first-in-class, fully integrated Trailer Brake Controller offers unprecedented
factory-installed towing control. The available TorqShift
TM
automatic transmission with tow/haul mode helps keep
work moving smoothly, uphill or down. New steering gears generate a 24% increase in turning torque. Increased
wheel cuts and a wider axle produce a tighter turning diameter. And 30% stiffer calipers, thicker rotors with
4-wheel disc brakes offer more stopping power. Use your strength wisely. Use Super Duty Chassis Cab.

models allow the doors to open

available transmission features exceptional durability
