The Ford F-350 Platinum imported from the United States combines V8 Power Stroke, 24-inch tires, 3 tons in the bed, and 18 tons of towing with luxury finish, dual wheels, and an estimated price of around R$ 1.5 million, according to the video analyzed in Brazil.
The Ford F-350 Platinum Super Duty appeared in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, as a truck imported from the United States with V8 Power Stroke, 24-inch tires, and size above the Brazilian standard. Imported by WBC Trade for a client heading to Mato Grosso, the pickup was shown in detail in an automotive video.
According to a video published by the BF///MS channel on YouTube, the model attracted attention for its size, dually configuration, 3-ton bed capacity, and the promise of 18 tons of towing with a fifth wheel. According to the presenter, the unit is rare in Brazil, came prepared from the United States, and may cost around R$ 1.5 million to arrive in the country.
Rare truck in Brazil impresses with its size
The first reaction to the Ford F-350 is caused by its scale. The truck is large enough to be compared to a luxury truck, especially for combining a spacious cabin, extensive bed, dual rear wheels, and size above the standard of pickups officially sold in Brazil.

In the video, the presenter measures the side in steps to try to convey the vehicle’s dimension. The sensation is that the truck occupies its own visual space, far from the size of a common medium pickup or even large models already known by the Brazilian public.
V8 Power Stroke engine delivers truck strength
Under the hood, the unit shown features the 6.7 V8 Power Stroke diesel engine. According to the data mentioned in the video, this configuration can deliver 507 horsepower and 166 kgfm of torque, numbers that help explain why the pickup is treated as a heavy-duty work tool.
In practice, the V8 Power Stroke is the core of the pickup’s proposal because it combines high power, strong torque, and a vocation for heavy use. The V8 Power Stroke also helps differentiate the truck from common pickups officially sold in Brazil.
The comparison made in the video is direct: pickups of this size can surpass in power several trucks sold in Brazil. The Ford F-350 does not rely solely on a robust appearance; the mechanical set was designed for load, towing, and intense use.
Load capacity reaches 3 tons in the bed
One of the strongest points of the Ford F-350 is its work capacity. According to the presentation, the truck can carry more than 3 tons in the body, maintaining the heavy vehicle proposal even in a luxurious version.
The Ford F-350 with 3 tons in the bed shows why the model is treated as a heavy-duty work tool. Even with Platinum trim, the 3 tons in the bed maintain the vehicle’s proposal for real load.
This combination helps explain the contrast that draws attention: on the outside, it seems prepared for rough service; on the inside, it offers high-standard finishing. The pickup does not try to be just comfortable or just functional, but to unite both extremes in a single vehicle.
Towing can reach 18 tons with fifth wheel
The truck’s power becomes even more evident when it comes to towing. With a conventional hitch, the cited capacity is 10,000 kg. With a fifth wheel or gooseneck system, the number rises to up to 18,000 kg.
The 18 tons of towing with a fifth wheel place the truck in a category far above most pickups known in Brazil. This 18-ton towing capacity reinforces the contrast between internal luxury and brute strength.
This type of capacity places the Ford F-350 in another league within the pickup universe. It was not designed just to carry luggage or tackle dirt roads, but to tow trailers, heavy loads, and structures that require high torque.
Platinum version combines heavy work and luxury
Despite its power, the unit shown is a Platinum, one of the most luxurious versions of the Super Duty line. The interior features seats with sophisticated finishes, refined stitching patterns, a large dashboard, multimedia center, panoramic sunroof, and details that bring the cabin closer to a living room on wheels.
The video also shows an electric running board, premium sound, wireless charger, outlets, USB ports, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping system. The contrast between brute strength and internal comfort is one of the truck’s biggest attractions.
24-inch tires and suspension enhance American look
The Ford F-350 unit did not arrive in Brazil in a simple configuration. According to the presenter, it was already prepared from the United States, with large tires, 24-inch wheels, suspension with Fox shocks, and external details darkened or in the body color.
The 24-inch tires help create the extreme appearance of the unit shown in the video. Besides the body size, the 24-inch tires enhance the feeling that the truck belongs to a visual category uncommon on Brazilian streets.
This preparation reinforces the visual style associated with customized American trucks. The 37-inch tires, body width, and presence of dual rear wheels create an even more extreme appearance, made to stand out on any street or road.
Interior has plenty of space and towing features
In the cabin, the rear space also draws attention. The flat floor allows for better internal use, while the seats can be folded to expand the use of the space. The presenter even compares the space to a living room, reinforcing the unusual size of the pickup.
Another highlight is the system aimed at trailer maneuvers. The feature allows for more intuitive control of the trailer’s direction, making maneuvers that normally require practice easier. In a vehicle capable of pulling enormous loads, this type of technology makes a difference in real use.
Imported price places the pickup in a restricted range
The estimated cost to bring a pickup like this to Brazil was mentioned around R$ 1.5 million. This price includes the rarity of the model, independent importation, the Platinum configuration, and the visual package already prepared in the United States.
Therefore, the Ford F-350 shown in the video does not fit into the common pickup market. It appears more as an object of desire, an extreme tool, and a symbol of exclusivity for a very specific audience willing to pay for size, strength, and rarity.
Rarity increases the impact of the F-350 in Brazil
According to the presenter, units of this generation of the F-Series line are rare in the country, especially among F-350 and F-450 versions. Independent importation makes each unit more uncommon, especially when it arrives with complete preparation and personalized visuals.
This rarity helps explain why the model arouses so much curiosity. In a country accustomed to large pickups, but not to super pickups of this size circulating frequently, the F-350 seems almost like an apparition.
Do you think a pickup of this size makes sense in Brazil, or is it more a symbol of luxury and exclusivity than a real necessity? Leave your opinion in the comments.
