Interesting. In a way, it really doesn't matter as most people buying these trucks have no business and never will tow that much weight. They just like to be able to say they tow more than the next guy. For the ones that need it, let the battle begin.
What I don't understand is how is it "legal" to claim those ratings when they were achieved by a truck that you can't buy(remove the seats, no spare tire, no radio, etc)?
Ford shaved 154 pounds from the weight of the F-450, he said, by removing items that have the possibility of being deleted from a vehicle order. Among the items removed were the spare tire, tire jack, radio and center console.
I thought the 450 ran 19.5" tires putting it in the "commercial" medium truck category.
Interesting response so far. I believe if this was about a different manufacturer we would be seeing more responses, like what we do in the other threads.
