According to Ben Poore, marketing manager for Ford's truck division, "The Super Duty customer isn't the guy who buys a pickup because it's cool to have a pickup. These guys are working with this truck. They're hauling and towing, often earning their living with these trucks, and their truck has to be as reliable and dependable as they are."Speaking specifically of the most robust F-450 model, Super Duty's chief engineer, Pete Reyes, adds, "The increased towing and cargo hauling capability, the engine enhancements and all the refinements make the F-450 absolutely the most capable pickup truck we've ever built – period. And that is exactly what our customers are asking for."
