2009 Ford F-450 Super Duty Owners Manual - Halo ladies and gentleman, welcome to Owners Manual blog. You are now reading the info about 2009 Ford F-450 Super Duty Here, we provide to you the link to download or buying this car's manual book. But in this case, we strongly recommend you to read the review first.
For 2009, the Ford F-450 Super Duty can now be had in Harley-Davidson and Cabela's FX4 special edition trims. There's additional standard equipment available in every trim level, while the Tough Bed heavy-duty bedliner, Sync and Sirius Travel Link are offered on the F-450 for the first time. Also new this year is a collection of "Work Solutions" options (such as an in-dash computer with Internet access and a large lockable compartment between the cab and bed) that are meant for those who work out of their trucks.
The 2009 Ford F-450 Super Duty is available only in a crew-cab body style with a long 8-foot bed. All F-450s come with a dual-rear-wheel setup, which allows more weight to be carried in the bed while providing greater towing stability.
The only available F-450 engine is a 6.4-liter turbodiesel V8 engine that pumps out 350 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is optional. There is also a choice of either two- or four-wheel drive. Properly equipped, the F-450 Super Duty can haul 6,000 pounds in its bed or tow up to 24,500 pounds (with a fifth-wheel hitch).
A rugged, industrial theme marks the revised cabin, and materials quality is generally good. Chrome accents surround the gauges and air vents, while the new center stack puts controls in easier reach. Dual door pockets and a massive center console bin address our previous gripes about inadequate storage. In fact, the console bin is now big enough to accommodate a laptop and/or hanging files. Folding the rear seats up reveals a flip-out utility tray that keeps the load floor flat. The arrival of Sirius Travel Link and the Sync stereo and cell phone interface gives the F-450 a high-tech leg up on competing heavy-duty trucks.
For such a large vehicle, the 2009 Ford F-450 is relatively easy to handle, thanks in part to a turning circle that's smaller than that of the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Still, parking and maneuvering in traffic are tough, as its front end is considerably wider than that of its already-gigantic siblings, not to mention the dually rear end. An unladen F-450 has a stiff ride, the downside of a chassis with such prolific towing and hauling capacities.
