G M C! I can walk away from a 450......with me pulling more weight. But......my truck is far from stock. If you roll up on me towing...you will get your feelings hurt.

Now the F450 is a diff. animal. more heavy duty than the 350, has a different driving experience, feels more laden by the weight and actually has 325hp vs 350 and 625 TQ vs 650..why Ford does that..I dont know..but you feel the hp loss, especially in a heavier truck...This is a purpose built truck............Guys, get your reflash.

Hey guys.....I've had both Chevys and Fords over the years, and I am currently planning on selling my '05 Chevy Duramax Dually LT, aftermarket chrome (alum) rims with only 6,500 miles....what do you think I should get $ wise.
I am looking at the new Ford F350 Super Duty and I am really impressed! They feel alot more like a truck...which I like.

If you reflash do you need to do anything special for inspections/ warranty work? Also what Brand does everyone recommend. I have a 08 F350 DRW with the 6.4 and the 4.10 axle.

Just go to the dealer and get the flash from the manufacture..first..you will see an improvement in mileage and slight acceleration. Guage what you are getting now and after the reflash..mine was almost a gain of 2 mpg. Jeff
