It was a Lariat and diesel of course, but goddamn, an F-450 is basically an F-350 with bigger springs and gears. Anything else that would make it so expensive?

Ain't no way a Lariat was $120k. Think your friend is fricking with you

Biggest (and best) delta between an F-350 and F-450 is the 450's widetrack front end. That makes the 450's turning radius way less than a 350's. A lot less.

bigger wheels and tires, front axle is wider than a 350 and they only come with 4.10 gears I believe. This isn't a ride around town daily driver. The only people that buy them are the people that need them to pull campers, goosenecks, etc. i don't think that has changed. They ride like army tanks with no load.
