The Ford Super Duty (also known as the Ford F-Series Super Duty) is a series of heavy-duty pickup trucks produced by the Ford Motor Company since the 1999 model year. Slotted above the consumer-oriented Ford F-150, the Super Duty trucks are an expansion of the Ford F-Series range, from F-250 to the F-600. The F-250 through F-450 are offered as pickup trucks, while the F-350 through F-600 are offered as chassis cabs.

Rather than adapting the lighter-duty F-150 truck for heavier use, Super Duty trucks have been designed as a dedicated variant of the Ford F-Series. The heavier-duty chassis components allow for heavier payloads and towing capabilities. With a GVWR over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg), Super Duty pickups are Class 2 and 3 trucks, while chassis-cab trucks are offered in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 6. The model line also offers Ford Power Stroke V8 diesel engines as an option.

Ford also offers a medium-duty version of the F-Series (F-650 and F-750), which is sometimes branded as the Super Duty, but is another chassis variant. The Super Duty pickup truck also served as the basis for the Ford Excursion full-sized SUV.

The Super Duty trucks and chassis-cabs are assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky, and at Ohio Assembly in Avon Lake, Ohio. Prior to 2016, medium-duty trucks were assembled in Mexico under the Blue Diamond Truck joint venture with Navistar International.

Common 2019 Ford F-450 sd problems

The 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty, a full-size heavy-duty pickup, is known for its power and capabilities. However, some common problems have been reported by owners of this vehicle.

One of the most significant issues is a faulty transmission, as reported by a 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty XL owner. This owner experienced a breakdown of their truck only 40 days after purchasing it, due to a faulty transmission. After extensive research, it was found that this issue is quite common, and Ford is even facing arbitration due to it. Despite this, the company continues to sell these trucks to the public without addressing the problem.

Another issue reported by a 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty Platinum owner is the rough ride of the vehicle. This owner mentioned that the truck rides pretty rough, and every little bump and crack on the road can be felt. This can be a significant issue for those who use their trucks for long-distance travel or for hauling heavy loads.

The 2020 Ford F-450 Super Duty models are equipped with a turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel V8 engine that puts out an impressive 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. This issue can be quite concerning for owners, as it can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Another problem reported by a 2019 Ford F-250 XL 6.2-L V8 owner is the failure of the rear passenger's side door. This owner mentioned that the door would not open, and when they took it to the dealer, they wanted $650.00 to fix it. This issue can be quite inconvenient for owners, as it can limit access to the vehicle's cabin.

Lastly, a common issue reported by many Ford F-450 owners is the "Death Wobble". This issue is related to a solid front axle when the steering wheel shakes violently due to an imbalance in the suspension system. This can be quite dangerous, especially when driving at high speeds, and can cause accidents.

In conclusion, while the 2019 Ford F-450 Super Duty is a powerful and capable vehicle, it is not without its issues. Common problems reported by owners include a faulty transmission, rough ride, engine issues, door failure, and the "Death Wobble." These issues can be quite concerning for owners and can lead to significant expenses if not addressed promptly.

VIN: 1FT8W4DTXKE
Components: SERVICE BRAKES
Summary: COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH ONLY 830 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. ON JULY 19, 2019 WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ON E. CAUSEWAY APPROACH IN MANDEVILLE, LA. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP FOR A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SLOWING ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME AT THE INTERSECTION. I RAPIDLY DOWN SHIFTED THROUGH THE GEARS TO REDUCE SPEED AND ALSO APPLIED THE PARKING BRAKE TO HELP REDUCE SPEED. WHILE THE VEHICLE DID SLOW DOWN IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING THE TRAFFIC AHEAD, SO I VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT AND MISSED THE OTHER CARS. AFTER SLOWING TO A ROLL I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE I GATHERED MY THOUGHTS I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE MAIN ROADWAY AND CONTACT FORD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. TWO AND A HALF HOURS LATER A TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT ONE WEEK EARLIER. WHILE WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK I INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID SPRAYED IN THE ENGINE BAY BY THE MASTER CYLINDER AND RUNNING DOWN THE FRAME AND POOLING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE FLARE NUTS AT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD BEEN GALLED UP AND ALMOST ROUNDED AS IF A WRENCH HAD BEEN SLIPPING OFF DURING ASSEMBLY. THESE GALLED UP FLARE NUTS WERE ON THE LINES THAT APPEARED TO BE LOSING BRAKE FLUID.*DT *DT*JB CONSUMER STATED HE RECIEVED TRUCK BACK FROM DEALERSHIP. ISSUE ON FORD'S END DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. LOOKS LIKE THE FACTORY HAS MISALIGNED ONE OF THE HARD BRAKE LINES AT THE MASTER CYLINDER. WHEN THEY TIGHTENED THE FLARE NUT THEY STRIPPED IT OUT IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HOUSING. THE LINE HAD ENOUGH FASTENING TENSION TO HOLD THE FLARE MATING SURFACES TOGETHER. APPARENTLY WHEN I APPLIED HARD BRAKING PRESSURE THE IMPROPERLY INSTALLED NUT ALLOWED THE BRAKE LINE TO SLIP BACK AND LOSE FLUID & PRESSURE CONTAINMENT. BRAKES WERE FINE.*JB
