2019 Ford F-450 Limited towing a 41,000lbs combined load

2019 Ford F-450 Limited towing a 41,000lbs combined load
Got caught with a very heavy load of wet sloppy dirt today. Was much heavier than expected. The gross combined weight of the truck and trailer was 19,100kg or just over 41,000lbs. To be honest, I was very surprised it was that heavy as the truck didn’t let on that it was hauling that much weight. It handled the load admirably. Very confidence inspiring!

I love the look of the wide track front axle and those wheels. Awesome look that comes straight out of the factory from Ford.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Thanks! I agree. The most impressive thing about the wide track axle is the unbelievable turning radius. It’s over 6’ tighter than the same truck but an F-350 with the standard D60 axle.

[@MonsterTruckingCo.]

Wish it was a true f450 and not a sales pitch. The 450 has a lower payload than the f350, so I’m not sure why ford don’t bump this up to 15k gvwr? 15k gvwr is the highest gvwr allowed for personal insurance. The gvwr doesn’t really matter for someone using this for commercial use since you need commercial insurance anyhow. If they would have given it a 15k gvwr, this would have given it the payload it lost with the 19.5” wheels, wide track, reinforced frame, etc. etc. making it better than the f350.

Your getting close to the load I haul with the 550. Man your need to make a video towing comparing your 6.0 to this one.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

I am planing on doing that!! What’s your gross combined weight when you’re hauling your KX080?

[@workplaytv]

Gravy Train Outdoors somewhere in the 41-42,000 range

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

workplaytv that’s pretty much the same then lol. 42115lbs on that load when you convert kg to lbs. I gotta say though. The truck didn’t really let on that it was pulling that heavy of a load. I am definitely impressed with it! I have to pick your brain on that KX080 of yours one day. I’m looking at getting a machine in that class. Either the bobcat or the kubota most likely?

[@workplaytv]

Gravy Train Outdoors Yeah that’s a heavy load. What was your total in KGs again? So you were hauling like 30k? Yeah man no problem. I’d go Kubota all day. No issues at all. Just keep the fuel filters changed.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

workplaytv that’s good to know! The total was 19,100kg on that load

[@czar2074]

How much does a trailer like that go for?

[@jeffclark4008]

Great video. I definitely would love to see a video of your 2007 pulling that same load. I've got the same combination of trucks (2019 F450, 2004 F350 SRW, 2006 F350 SRW, 2004 F350 dually, 2007 F350 SRW). I think the issue with the 6.0 trucks is the chassis, it's not in the same league, but yeah, those modified 6.0's pour it on. I think Ford's tuning on the 6.7 motors is set up to protect the motor. They control the power very well.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Jeff Clark I would agree, the new chassis on the 2017+ trucks is noticeably stiffer and the truck handles the load better because of it. Ford has definitely got these motors tuned with durability in mind. The 6.7 in the F650/750 has a B10 rating of 500,000 miles which is crazy. I will definitely make a video of the 6.0 in the near future pulling the gooseneck.

Gravy Train Outdoors ok cool. My bumper pull is 14x7. 2 7000 axles

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Yes, it’s a 21k trailer. I might end up ordering a 30k dump. I’m finding the tri axle a bit awkward in the tighter residential areas I work in. I wish I had ordered a tandem dually dump trailer with 15k axles. I also found out that the rear spring hanger was welding 3/4” too far back which has caused the leaf springs to pop out of the rear equalizer bars :/

Ive had my 19' ram 4500 up to 46,000 hauling hay on a 40 foot gooseneck, it pulled it but on the hwy going about 100kph it was starting to get a little warm.

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

They definitely seem to notice the extra weight when it comes to running cool. I’ve had a few loads of spoil that have pushed me over 51,000lbs and the truck itself handles it as well as 43,500lbs but I’ve noticed that engine and tranny temps certainly creep up a lot faster once your up over the max GCVW. I’m licensed for 19,950kg and 90% of the miles on the truck have been pulling those kinds of weights so I’ve got a good baseline for operating temps. I would definitely say cooling capacity is the main limiting factor when it comes to the GCVW of these trucks! I was originally going to buy a 5500 but the dealership wasn’t very motivated. Down the road I’d like to get one and put a 10-11’ deck on it

Don't sell yourself short. 19,100 x 2.2046 = 42,108 lbs!

I've been wanting to do water meth injection. What was up with all the vehicles parked on the right?

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

If you’re towing I would recommend the water meth injection but for sure. I don’t use it empty much at all. I have pretty big nozzles for the water meth so it will over quench the combustion if the EGT’s aren’t high enough. You can tune the system with smaller nozzles and run it all the time as well. I didn’t that for a little bit and got a 3-4mpg jump in mileage but it drank the juice pretty quick. I have no idea about the parked vehicles. So many people just park wherever around here. I had to run up over the curb the other day on one of the side roads because people had parked on both side of the road completely blocking it for large vehicles

[@24k_purplelove52]

@@gravytrainoutdoors that's true the f150 10 speed is a more lighter duty, now I'm not sure about that new engine the powerboost, because that engine make more hp and torque and better mpg then the 3.5l ecoboost but the 3.5l EcoBoost is the best in class towing engine reaching 14000 pounds, the powerboost doesent reach that.

[@RinKKinG]

Do you prefer to buy or lease?

[@gravytrainoutdoors]

Shane McFerran it makes more sense to lease in most cases. People get hung up on the miles per year that you are allowed but if the lease is structured correctly then the residual at the end will be less than what the vehicle is worth and you can just buy it out at the end and get around any lease return agreements.
