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.”
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.
Other features include available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist which steers the truck to align the hitch ball to the receiver, optional Smart Hitch to help customers distribute trailer weight properly and a 360-Degree Trailer Camera Package that provides a birds-eye view of the truck, cargo box and trailer. There is also an available full-color head-up display with turn-by-turn Trailer Navigation that customizes your route to make it easier to drive with a trailer.
There are four engine options:
Every engine is paired to a 10-speed transmission with 4x4 standard on XLT and above.

Ford says the Super Duty offers the best maximum payload rating available at 8,000 pounds. 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.
The Super Duty is the first pickup in the U.S. with embedded 5G capability. Standard FordPass Connect embedded 5G modem enables Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices. It will also be able to receive Ford Power-Up software.
Additionally Ford says its new suite of cloud-based services will adds productivity both on and off the job site via software and data tools like Ford Pro Telematics and Super Duty’s new Vehicle Security Package.
The 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty will be built at Ford's Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville and its Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. Order books are open now with the first deliveries planned for early 2023. Pricing currently starts at $43,970 MSRP, plus $1,795 for destination and delivery.
