The F-150 May Get All the Sales Love, But the Super Duty Trucks Are the Ones Putting in Serious Work Day In and Day Out
For 2023, the Ford F-series super duty family has entered a new generation, one that is focused on capability and fresh technology to help people tow haul and handle anything thrown at these tough trucks. For a lot of the industrial world, the Super Duty trucks are the truck of choice, with Ford having a market share over 50 percent in this segment. The Super Duty trucks have been the workhorses in industries such as mining, utility construction, and emergency response.
The new generation of Super Duty trucks is designed to make the work day go smoother for those who use them. From improved engine options to more tech features, these trucks are designed to handle any situation that comes their way. The standard engine is a new 6.8-liter gas V8, which Ford says has been designed with more low-end torque in mind. This will make starting on steep grades or merging onto highways much easier. Next up is "Godzilla," the mighty 7.3-liter gas V8 that currently produces up to 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. However, Ford says that these numbers should increase with improved air intake and tuning.
In addition to the engine options, there are also diesel options available. The standard 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 has been updated to run on longer intervals between oil changes, making it a more efficient choice for those who use their trucks frequently. There is also a new high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel that gets a different turbocharger, upgraded exhaust manifolds, and revised engine tuning. This diesel engine is designed to deliver the best horsepower and torque in the segment, with each engine paired with Ford's 10-speed automatic gearbox.
Every chassis cab model comes equipped with a power takeoff kit, which means these trucks are already ready to handle all sorts of heavy-duty equipment. If you want four-wheel drive, it is standard on XLT Trims and above. The goal of the Super Duty truck is to make it as vital as possible to the business world, and Ford has taken this a step further by introducing the Ford Pro upfit integration system.
This system works with aftermarket equipment providers to deliver an integrated experience for truck owners or operators. With the extra gear these trucks need, can be controlled or displayed internally on the truck's display screens. The trucks are also smart enough to adapt to installed equipment, so it operates as safely as possible. When it comes to safety, the newest Super Duty trucks feature on-board scales with the Smart Hitch system. This allows users to see how much weight they're hauling and how well that weight is distributed on the tongue.
There is also a 360-degree trailer camera system available, which provides blind spot information for fifth-wheel and gooseneck towing situations. An additional camera works when the tailgate is down, providing an added layer of safety for users. Another feature of the Super Duty trucks is a trailer navigation system that's smart enough to keep users away from low bridges with weight restrictions or tight turns.
Ford also has the 2023 Super Duty setup to have 5G embedded data capability, so you can use your truck as a fast Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices. Finally, for when work turns to play, the Tremor package is returning for F-250 and F-350 trucks. This package is designed for single rear-wheel models with four-wheel drive, adding 35-inch tires, vent tubes in the axles, skid plates, a Dana front axle with a limited slip diff, 18-inch wheels, Trail control, and Trail turn assist.
Ford is clearly focusing on those who put in hard work with their trucks, which is what the Super Duty is all about. Now it seems like the truck is better than ever, with more capabilities and features to make your life easier. However, the press release for the horsepower specs was not available at this time, so it will be announced when the truck gets closer to its launch date in early 2023. Stay tuned for more specs and numbers down the road.
