subject: Check Out the Power Available in the Ford F-450 [print this page] Big, beefy and boasting power unlike any other vehicle, it almost seems odd that the F-450 lineup is available to everyday truck buyers. Truth is, it wasn't that long ago when it wasn't. Until the 2008 model year, Ford only sold its F-450 lineup to commercial and institutional buyers to be used as tow trucks, ambulances and moving trucks. Since then, the engines offered haven't changed much, only some of the amenities have improve to meet the demands of today's demanding driver. But power? No, the F-450 hasn't seen much need to add to that. Then again, how much more power do you really need or want to drive the office and back?
