And with a variety of trims and an impressive catalog of available upgrades, the Ford Super Duty can be whatever your job requires. From a powerful, low-cost tower and hauler, a long-distance journeyman, or a mobile office, there’s nothing a Super Duty can’t do for you.
Key Takeaways:
- The Super Duty, Ford’s heavy-duty range (including both the F-250 and F-350), enters the 2026 model year as powerfully as it entered the last.
- The Super Duty can tow up to 40,000lbs.
- Best-in-class technology, including automatic trailer reverse assist.
- Starts at $47,870.
What is a Ford Super Duty?
The Super Duty lineup covers Ford’s heavy haulers in the F-250, F-350, and F-450. All of these monstrously capable trucks fit perfectly on any worksite or for pedestrian-heavy-hauling needs. The Super Duty lineup does not include the F-150 (itself another capable truck).
The higher number of trucks represents greater capability, while lower models are more budget-friendly and have a greater assortment of trims, technologies, and options to choose from. For trailer towing and typical worksite tasks, look no further than the F-250, which has the widest assortment of features and choices. But should you need more, the Super Duty lineup has power in spades.
Is Ford changing the Super Duty in 2026?
The Super Duty lineup will be getting minor tweaks heading into the 2026 model year. The relevant ones include a new 6.5ft bed configuration and the diesel Powerstroke engine being available on the Tremor, Ford’s principal off-roading trim. Other than that, the lineup remains largely unchanged for the 2026 model year.
How much horsepower does the 2026 Super Duty have?
Super Duty horsepower available varies by engine. The list is as follows:
- 400-hp 6.8-liter V-8 with 445lb-ft of torque.
- 430-hp 7.3-liter V-8 with 485lb-ft of torque.
- 475-hp 6.7 liter diesel V-8 with 1050lb-ft of torque.
- 500-hp 6.7-liter diesel V-8 with 1200lb-ft of torque.
All of these engines are powerful and capable of typical worksite needs, but the diesel V-8 (in its high output or low output tunings) remains the jewel of the Super Duty’s crown, allowing the towing capacity to balloon to a massive and unmatched 40,000lbs. Other engines offer more reliability and a better mix between performance and fuel efficiency. Diesel-using Super Duty trucks will be equipped with DEF systems per EPA regulations.
How many miles can a Ford Super Duty last?
Work-grade Ford trucks have always had a reputation for reliability, especially in their older 7.3L diesel and current 6.7L diesel Powerstroke engines. In 2023, the Ford F-350 was determined to be the most likely vehicle to survive 250,000 miles. Many owners report even higher odometer numbers with proper maintenance.
While numbers for the 2026 model year aren’t available yet, there’s no reason to think that the truck would be any less reliable than it was known for in the past.
Is the Ford Super Duty a good truck?
No truck outmatches the versatility and capability of a Ford Super Duty. But the Super Duty is not just a workhorse; F-250 and F-350 models have extremely customizable interiors, much like the bestselling Ford F-150. While this may seem unnecessary, many of these interior creature comforts are still built around getting work done.
For example, the Interior Work Surface allows the center console to fold into a flat desk; the front seats fold all the way down into a bed configuration, allowing better sleep on long-haul drives, and many more.
Is the 2026 Ford Super Duty a Good Work Truck?
Ford Super Duty lineup trucks are built from the ground up for work. From best-in-class towing to deeply impressive reliability, a Ford Super Duty fits perfectly on any worksite and does any task. But that doesn’t mean it’s a simple-minded brute — Ford trucks can be outfitted with an enormous array of interior features that could make even premium cars blush.
But no matter how you configure it, the Ford Super Duty will get the job done.
