2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty Pickup Truck  

Key Features:

  • You work, you get paid. So when your truck is in the shop getting upfitted for changes in seasonal work, you're left holding the bag. Not anymore. The Super Duty® offers the class-exclusive Live-Drive Power Takeoff provision.* Because it is integrated into the transmission's design, upfitting your truck at the shop happens a lot faster and with fewer headaches. The Live-Drive Power Takeoff utilizes an output gear linked directly to the engine crankshaft to power upfits anytime the engine is running, whether you're in motion or at a stop — and lets you use applications like salt spreaders, highway tree-trimming equipment and more. And with the segment-exclusive split-shaft capability, multiple applications can be operated at the same time.

    *Requires 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel and compatible aftermarket power takeoff unit. Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR.

  • Best-in-class torque and horsepower.* Plus best-in-class fuel efficiency** to go with all that power. B20-capability. Clean and quiet operation. That's the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel, designed by Ford engineers to deliver powerful and dependable service for hundreds of thousands of miles. Run hot, run cold. Pull more. Haul more. Work more.

    *Power ratings: 800 lb.-ft. of torque; 400 horsepower. Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR.
    **Based on Ford drive-cycle tests of comparably equipped 2011 Ford and 2010/2011 competitive models. Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR.

  • The instrument cluster features a driver-configurable LCD Productivity Screen where you'll see more than you might have expected. Fuel economy. Towing information. Off-road data. Plus plenty of additional vehicle information. And it's all easy to navigate on the screen or with steering wheel switches that help you keep your eyes on the road while toggling through the content on the screen. It's standard in Lariat and King Ranch® and available in XLT.

  • The class-exclusive integrated tailgate* step makes it easier to access that payload. This step stows inside the tailgate, can be easily accessed when needed and includes a flip-up grab bar. Also, it has a 350-lb. load capacity so even the big guys don't have to sweat it.

    *Class is Full-Size Pickups over 8,500 lbs. GVWR.

  • When going downhill you need the Hill Descent Control, included on single rear-wheel pickups with the available FX4 Off-Road Package. To activate it, push the Hill Descent Control button, press the brake once to set the desired speed and hold the steering wheel. Then the system applies brake pressure as needed to descend grades at a controlled speed.

  • Super Duty® offers today's easy-to-use voice-controlled technologies. Take the available Ford SYNC®, for instance. Just say the word and SYNC®* lets you control your Bluetooth®-enabled ** cell phone and your MP3 player. With the new AppLink feature you can access mobile apps on select smartphone brands via voice control. Your voice also controls the wide array of available features for travel, directions and information.

    *Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control. Only use mobile phones and other devices, even with voice commands, when it is safe to do so.
