When your day involves heavy loads, tight timelines, and equipment that can’t afford to sit still, the 2011 Ford F-450 Super Duty XLT is the kind of truck that earns its keep. Built for construction, contracting, and farm work, this Super Duty brings serious pulling power with the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel, rated at 400 horsepower and 800 lb-ft of torque—the kind of torque that makes uphill pulls, loaded merges, and jobsite starts feel controlled instead of strained. Matched with the TorqShift® 6-speed automatic, it’s designed to stay in the right gear under load and keep the truck working efficiently when you’re towing or hauling day after day.
Where the F-450 really separates itself is in how it handles big trailers. Ford didn’t just build a truck with impressive numbers—they built one with confidence tools that help you feel in control. Standard Trailer Sway Control is designed to help keep trailers predictable in wind and traffic, and the integrated diesel exhaust braking helps you manage descents without riding your brakes—especially useful when you’re hauling equipment, livestock, hay, or a loaded flatbed. And when properly equipped, the F-450 backs up its reputation with headline capabilities that are easy to market and easy to understand: up to 24,400 lbs of 5th-wheel towing and up to 17,500 lbs conventional towing—the kind of capacity contractors and farmers look for when stepping up to a true heavy-duty platform.
