The F-450 is for those who tow their world behind them and want to do it in style.
Platinum trim luxury · Massive towing capacity
Fuel economy guzzler · Bumpy ride when empty
The 2026 Ford F-450 is a behemoth built for those with serious towing and hauling needs. Its Platinum trim wraps you in luxurious comfort, making long hauls feel like a first-class flight. What surprised us most was how well-appointed the cabin felt—more like a luxury SUV than a workhorse truck. However, the ride can get bumpy when the truck is unladen, and the fuel economy is predictably abysmal. This truck isn't for the everyday commuter; it's for the rancher, the builder, the person who needs to move mountains and wants to do it with a touch of luxury.
Our pick: Platinum ($80,000)
vs. Ram 3500: The Ford F-450 outmuscles the Ram 3500 in towing capacity, but the Ram offers a smoother ride.
