Furthermore, Ford announced an F-450 Crew Cab dual-rear-wheel pickup to the Super Duty lineup, which offers a 34,000-pound of gooseneck towing capacity, which is a 1,500-pound improvement for the new 4×2 model.
Upgrades to the 2018 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke include redesigned cylinder heads for added strength under higher payloads, plus optimized fuel and turbo boost calibrations to take advantage of the increased cylinder head capacity for increased horsepower and torque.
