Ford is now releasing the specs for the recently unveiled all-new F-Series Super Duty lineup. The lineup will offer up to an available 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque, 40,000 pounds maximum towing and 8,000 pounds of maximum payload.
“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.”
Towing Capability
Ford says the 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.

One available feature is called Onboard Scales which can measure a payload that is the equivalent of up to 100 eighty-pound bags of cement. In terms of design, Ford says 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.
Other features include an industry-first available Tailgate Down Camera and Tailgate Down Reverse Park Aid, and optional 2.0-kilowatt Pro Power Onboard to extend Super Duty capability with five times more exportable power than anyone else in the segment.
