All-New Ford F-Series Super Duty Takes Heavy Duty Triple Crown with Best-In-Class Towing, Payload and Power

DEARBORN, Mich., Oct. 27, 2022 – The all-new 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty offers best in class performance right where customers need it with 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque*** available, 40,000 pounds maximum towing*, and 8,000 pounds of maximum payload**. That high level of capability coupled with ingenious new confidence-inspiring technology helps customers haul more** and tow more* than any other heavy-duty pickup truck while a new suite of cloud-based services adds productivity both on and off the jobsite.

“The all-new 2023 Super Duty is designed and engineered for America’s builders. Our job is to help make our customers’ work feel easy, and this truck nails that commitment,” said Andrew Kernahan, Super Duty chief program engineer. “The combination of purpose-built construction, powerful engines, 10-speed transmissions and new technology means our customers can work, tow and haul with absolute confidence.”

Tow Heavy, Tow Confidently

Heavy-duty pickup owners use their truck for towing, so Super Duty offers the best maximum tow rating for all types of trailering: conventional (including pintle), fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers. At a maximum of 40,000 pounds gooseneck towing, that’s half the combined weight of a semi-tractor and a fully loaded trailer.

Super Duty is also packed with innovations to increase towing confidence even in the toughest conditions. Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist steers the truck to align the hitch ball to the receiver, optional Smart Hitch helps customers distribute trailer weight properly and 360-Degree Trailer Camera Package provides a birds-eye view of the truck, cargo box and trailer. An available full-color head-up display††† helps keep eyes on the road and shows turn-by-turn Trailer Navigation that customizes your route to make it easier to drive with a trailer.

Unmatched Power 

Steep grades and heavy loads feel easier with four engines including the all-new 6.8-liter gas, upgraded 7.3-liter gas V8, 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8, and new high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 producing class-leading 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque and 500 horsepower. Every engine is paired to a 10-speed transmission with 4×4 standard on XLT and above.

Engine Horsepower Torque (lb.-ft.)
6.8-liter V8 gas 405 445
7.3-liter V8 gas 430 (best in class)**** 485 (best in class)****
6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel 475 1,050
High Output 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel 500 (best in class)*** 1,200 (best in class)***

Huge Payload and Class-Exclusive Productivity

Super Duty pickup offers the best maximum payload rating available at 8,000 pounds**. Available Onboard Scales can measure a payload that is the equivalent of up to 100 eighty-pound bags of cement. But the business end of the pickup is more than just hauling, it’s designed for productivity with standard bed side and rear bumper corner steps and an available tailgate step that’s three inches lower than before.

Technology to make work easier is back there too, like industry-first available Tailgate Down Camera†††† and Tailgate Down Reverse Park Aid††, and optional 2.0-kilowatt Pro Power Onboard™ to extend Super Duty capability1 with five times more exportable power than anyone else in the segment.

Standard FordPass Connect™ embedded 5G modem enables Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices at home or on the jobsite. The most connected F-Series Super Duty will receive Ford Power-Up software updates so the vehicle can get better over time.

High-speed connectivity also enables important software and data tools like Ford Pro Telematics and Super Duty’s new Vehicle Security Package. Together these digital subscriptions and the growing Ford Pro™ ecosystem of software and services – such as VIIZR, an all-in-one job management platform – can help small to medium businesses manage downtime and productivity.
