Have you seen these high payload pickups before…

These trucks make sense, but I’ve never seen one before. Have you seen them?

These are amazing trucks – they have the highest payload, best towing capacity, and great turning radius!

This one (FX4 diesel) doesn’t have all those features. A 2WD 450 can tow 40K and has a good turning radius with the wider front axle, and a 2WD 6.8 gas can carry 8K payload. It’s still a great truck, though.

But 450’s and 550’s aren’t common for regular people to buy, more for specific needs.

Farmers prefer 450’s.

Who buys a dually as a regular person? These are work trucks. Maybe the XL’s are for someone with a camper, but that’s rare and usually for specific purposes.

Don’t 550s have the best turning radius?

450/550 chassis also have the wide axle. But a 450 pickup (basically a beefed-up 350) has the shortest wheelbase.

I think they have to make at least one or two of these to back up their marketing claims.

Up to 40,000 towing*.

I see 450s like that often!

The yard truck of pickups.

Tow truck spec with a bed.

People I know have a gooseneck installed, buy a 28’ Wilson stock trailer, and haul cattle to market until they retire.

They can write off all their equipment because of farming and pay few taxes on the land, then they end up in a nursing home on Medicaid… America

Then their kids sell their farms to others because the grandkids are too busy on this forum to farm anymore. /s

Best way to do it, or else the nursing home drains the farm dry.

The best payload is a standard cab.
