Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 We have gone to the 450 after running 350 for many years. A very noticeable difference in the ride, with the 450 being superior. Turning radius is much wider. The 6.0 engine is performing well at this time. , Director Seminole EMS Seminole, TX. 79360 (432)758-8816 (432)758-6533 fax Re: Need help been watching this sting and am interested in the difference in the F350 and the F450 as we are looking to purchase this year...thanks to all for in put Ted s, BBA, EMT-B Director, Hardeman County EMS PO Box 30 Quanah, Texas 79252 Fax: Re: Need help > > Louise: > > If you want a Ford chassis, its going to have a 6.0L.
