Performance Enhancements and Advanced Towing 

---

To meet every driver’s power needs, Super Duty offers three engine options:

• A 6.8-liter V-8 engine that delivers 400 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. Available on the base XL trim.
• A more powerful 7.3-liter V-8 engine, which produces 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque, is available on the XLT and standard on higher trims. 
• For ultimate power, choose the Power Stroke diesel 6.7-liter V-8. This diesel engine comes in two versions: a low-output option produces 475 horsepower and 1050 lb-ft of torque, and a high-output version boasting 500 horsepower and 1200 lb-ft of torque. 

Each configuration is paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission, and you can choose between single- and dual-rear-wheel axles for your F-250, F-350, or F-450.

When it comes to hauling, the Super Duty is a true workhorse. It boasts a maximum payload capacity of 8,000 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 40,000 pounds using a gooseneck hitch, 35,000 pounds with a fifth-wheel setup, and 30,000 pounds with a conventional hitch. 

To help manage these substantial loads, Ford has added a suite of trailering-assist features. These include onboard scales with Smart Hitch, which provides real-time cargo weight estimates and guidance on trailer tongue-weight distribution. Additionally, Trailer Navigation provides optimized travel routes based on trailer dimensions and weight, ensuring a safer drive.

Packages Built For Business 

The new Lariat Premium Package, now available on Lariat Crew Cab 4x4s with the 7.3L V8, conveniently bundles popular options such as Ford Co-Pilot360® 2.0, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™, and Trailer Reverse Guidance, making it great for contractors overseeing multiple job sites.

If you’re looking for a professional aesthetic, the STX Appearance Package is now offered on dual rear wheel (DRW) models, expanding beyond single rear wheel options. Its bold styling, including body-color bumpers and polished aluminum wheels, helps businesses maintain a polished image, whether delivering materials or managing fleet vehicles.

The Tremor Off-Road Package is now compatible with the standard output 6.7L Power Stroke® Diesel, making it perfect for off-grid projects.

Customization for Every Job

Super Duty trucks make every job and journey easier with convenience features like:

• Get peace of mind with enhanced storage and security. Hard or soft roll-up truck bed covers provide secure, weather-resistant storage.
• Kicker subwoofers and illuminated front emblems elevate style and comfort on long drives.
