What is the 2020 Ford F-450 DRW XL?
The F-450 DWR XL is a heavy-duty pickup truck. In terms of towing, it’s the most capable of Ford’s Super Duty line of heavy-duty trucks.
This full-size heavy-duty truck is available with either a regular, one-row cabin or a two-row crew cabin. Shoppers can choose the cabin that meets their passenger-hauling needs. Both cabins feature an 8.2-foot bed and a dual rear-wheel axle.
Every F-450 XL comes with a hefty turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel V8 engine that helps you move outsized trailers with 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. The truck’s 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels (or all four wheels if you add four-wheel drive).
Just how much can the F-450 tow? Equipped for gooseneck towing, this Super Duty truck can transport up to 37,000 pounds’ worth of trailer. When it comes to towing conventional trailers, this Ford truck maxes out at 24,200 pounds.
What are dual rear wheels? How do dual rear wheels work?
Also known as a dually or DRW, trucks with dual rear wheels have a total of four wheels on the rear axle. In other words, there are two wheels on each side of the truck where there would normally be one.
Why the extra wheels? Compared to trucks with only four wheels, your 2020 Ford F-450 DRW XL offers extra safety when towing heavy loads. The truck’s dual rear wheels help distribute your trailer’s weight more evenly, creating extra stability as you travel.
What comfort and convenience features come with the 2020 Ford F-450 DRW XL?
The XL is the entry-level F-450 trim level, and that means it gives you the best price on this heavy-duty pickup truck. In spite of its lightweight price tag, though, you get a lot for your money. For example, every XL helps you navigate with a standard rearview camera and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Sync Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to link your favorite device to the standard infotainment system.
The standard FordPass Connect technology allows you to access your XL via smartphone app, with features like remote start or door locking. The FordPass Connect app also helps you locate your truck or keep track of scheduled maintenance visits. You also get a Wi-Fi connection, which can connect up to 10 devices to the internet.
Why choose the 2020 Ford F-450 DRW XL?
Get this heavy-duty truck because you’re in need of a massive, tow-friendly workhorse. As the most capable model in Ford’s Super Duty lineup, the F-450 is ideal for those who need a truck that can tow more than lesser trucks can handle. Choosing the model with dual rear wheels will give you extra stability, increasing safety when you’re moving serious weight.
