2012 Ford F450 Super Duty Crew Cab Consumer Reviews

I purchased my Ford F450 new in 2013 to pull my very heavy 5th wheel. I was looking at stopping power more than JUST pulling power. With my 5th wheel pushing 21K pounds I wanted something that would do both while pulling my RV across country and I wanted to do it in comfort. I got exactly what I wished for in this incredible Truck that I have now owned for 10 years now. I only have just over 100K miles on this beautiful truck but have had mostly care free maintenance out of this vehicle. The only major repairs I had to do was to the fuel rail when I got water in my fuel because I didn't KNOW there was a fuel drain cock on the fuel tank. So if you let your truck set INSIDE like I do with mine for over a month then just check the fuel for water. Takes about 1 minute. This truck drives and handles like a champ. It is smooth riding with or without a load for such a super duty truck and the turn radius on this truck is just incredible. There is power to spare and the tow package on this truck is just the bomb. The only thing ford did wrong on this truck is that pitiful 38 gallon fuel tank. COME ONE FORD what was you thinking? Hope this review helps with future ford super duty owners.

This is a great truck serviced as recommended from the start. I purchased it new from Spradley Barr Ford in Ft Collins, Colorado

Very comfortable long haul work horse. Excellent OEM engine breaking capability for those steep downhill grades. Plenty of legroom, front and rear seats, for those 6'+ people!

My F 450 does a great job towing my 12000 lb boat and is a very comfortable ride. It has power to spare and is really an enjoyable truck.

*Traded a 2006 F350 6.0 with 110,000 miles and 11 years on this excellent truck. *Not one problem from day one on this 2016 F450 Platinum. The truck is so amazing. *It is exciting to own and drive. *The F450 feels like a locomotive to a Ford Ranger as compared to a 2016 F450 and a 2006 F350. *You can really tell, see and feel you're in a much heavy duty unit. *This truck is built tough. *It has 10 lug axles that can pull a house. 225/70/19.5 14 ply tires *I'm getting about 18 mpg unloaded at about 55-60 mph highway. 14-15 mpg highway at 75 mph. *It rides very nice at 80 mph on I-80. *I put 1,200 lbs in the back and barely noticed. *I really like the heated steering wheel when it is only 10 degrees, and this unit has quick cabin heating. *I've never heard of a vehicle putting out warm air when the engine is cold. *The fronts seats are air conditioned for summer and the rear seats are heated for Winter. *Oh, and I have to tell you, this truck has unmatched audio sound quality. I could keep going on and on about this truck. My wife calls this new truck Hercules Pros: Everything Cons: None

Not one thing has gone wrong since purchase. Diesel engine is a work horse...and very quite. Accelerates up the Grapevine pulling an 18,000 pound 5th Wheel like nothing. Also, the "jake" brake system works like a charm. Have so many people just walking up to me saying "great looking truck" it's almost embarrassing. The only complaint is that it is not a real comfortable truck to drive around town and into parking lots. But after all, it is a dually.

nothing beats the black house

Love this truck, it is awesome !!
