Tradie Setup on the Ford Super Duty: Everything You Need to Know
Your Super Duty Works Hard. Your Tray Should Too. Tat's Why We Build It Your Way.
Built for the Super Duty: From the Ground Up
At Buffalo, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Every tray is engineered for the vehicle it’s going onto and the Super Duty is no exception. We use 10mm structural plate underneath, keyed and welded together for maximum rigidity. For the Super Duty, we’ve gone a step further with additional reinforcement to handle that 1.8-tonne payload properly.
The Tradie Setup: What’s on This Build
This is an extra cab Super Duty with a full custom tray. It’s the kind of rig a working tradie, fitter, or civil contractor would run: Practical, tough, and laid out so everything has a place.

YOUR TRAY. YOUR WAY. BUFFALO BUILT.
Why the Super Duty is the go-to for serious tradies
The Ford Super Duty’s 1,800kg payload is over 500kg more than its closest competitor. That’s why we’ve invested in building our mounting and tray system specifically around this platform. A vehicle with this capability deserves a tray that can actually take advantage of it.
CNC Drawn & Cut In-House
Every build drawn by our draftsman and cut to your exact vehicle specs.
Lifetime Structural Warranty
All welds and fabrication covered for the life of the build.
60% Lighter Than Steel
More payload. Less weight. Same toughness. That’s the Buffalo alloy difference.
Your Tray, Your Way
The build you’ve seen here is one version of what’s possible on a Super Duty. Maybe you need a diesel tank, a water tank, dog crates, or a completely different storage layout for the farm or mine site. That’s the point. we build the tray you require, not the one that’s easiest for us to make.
Wrap your build up the right way — see it in action.
