Considering picking up a new truck? Shawn Stumpf Sarasota discusses his experience with the Ford F450 and also covers some things you should consider while truck shopping.
The Ford F Series is the most popular pickup truck in the United States, and for good reason. Ford F Series trucks have received praise from reviewers and consumers alike over the years. If you’re considering a new truck, you should take some time and make sure you select the vehicle that’s right for you. Shawn Stumpf Sarasota is going to share his experience with the Ford F450 and also offer some insights for people who are truck shopping.
“Right off the bat, I’d like to say that I’ve had an excellent experience with my Ford F450,” Shawn Stumpf Sarasota says. “Trucks are extremely popular down here in Sarasota, and you’ll see some truly excellent vehicles on the road, but I’ll take my F450 over anything.”
The F450 is a true heavy-duty truck, capable of towing more than 20,000 pounds. F450s are dually trucks, meaning you’’ll find four tires in the back rather than the usual two tires. These extra tires help when it comes to hauling heavy things, such as a boat or trailer.
If you’re shopping for trucks and have looked at Ford’s lineup, you’ve probably noticed that you have a number of numbered options, including the F150, F250, F350, and F450. Higher numbers generally correlate with more towing power and functionality. You’ll also find Ford F550s and F650s, although these are commercial trucks rather than everyday passenger vehicles.
“I tow a lot of heavy stuff and needed a heavy-duty work truck,” Shawn Stumpf Sarasota says. “Before buying a truck, the first question you should ask is what truck do I really need? An F450 is quite a bit more expensive than your typical F150 or F250. If you don’t need the extra towing capacity or other features, you might be better off with a less costly model.”
The starting price for an F450 typically starts north of $50,000, while you can find some Ford F150 models retailing for less than $30,000. Of course, once you start adding options, vehicle prices can quickly climb. That said, it’s wise to consider your needs and to buy a truck that fits those needs.
Shawn Stumpf Talks Driver Safety
Vehicle safety has improved greatly over the years. The Ford trucks on the market today are by and large much safer than their counterparts from say 40 years ago. These days, Ford F Series trucks come equipped with advanced safety features.
“The new Ford trucks feature blind spot warnings, cameras for backing up, lane stay warnings, and more,” Shawn Stumpf Sarasota says. “There are, quite frankly, a lot of bad drivers here in Sarasota and elsewhere too. I highly recommend making sure you can handle your vehicle, and also to get the latest safety features as they may protect you, your family, and those around you.”
