What’s new for the 2026 Ford Super Duty?

The 2026 Super Duty builds on a simplified offering strategy while extending its long-established reputation for power, durability, and advanced technology. The headline changes:

• SuperCab 148" Wheelbase now available on XL — previously not offered at the base trim, this gives XL buyers a cab option between the Regular Cab and the Crew Cab
• 4x2 standard on XLT and Lariat — these trims now ship as 4x2 by default with 4x4 as the option (previously the inverse for some configurations)
• LT 275/65Rx18E BSW A/S tires standard on XLT and Lariat
• Engine availability cleanup — the 6.8L gas V8 is now standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat. On King Ranch and higher trims, the 7.3L gas V8 becomes the standard engine. The 6.7L Power Stroke diesel remains an option for all trims.
• Three new paint colors — Argon Blue Metallic (E9), Iconic Silver Metallic (JS, fleet only), and Marsh Gray (T9, available on Lariat and King Ranch with two-tone)

• SecuriCode Wireless Keyless Entry Keypad — now optional on XL as a Dealer-Installed Option (DIO)
• STX Appearance Package now available on F-350 DRW — with updated package content
• XLT Premium Package no longer requires the Black Appearance Package — gives XLT buyers more flexibility
• Lariat Premium Package (96W) — new package for 2026
• Tremor Off-Road Package — refreshed for 2026, with Lane Departure Warning removed from the included content
• Ford Co-Pilot360® Technology and 360-Degree Cameras — now available together across all trims

• Ford Connectivity Package — 1-year included standard, 7-year One-Time Purchase optional (94D)

For 2026, no major mechanical changes — the four V8 engines, 10-speed automatic transmissions, frame, and core architecture carry forward from the previous model year.

What engines and transmissions are offered?

Four V8 engines are available across the 2026 Super Duty lineup. All four pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission — gas engines use the TorqShift®-G version, diesel engines use the heavier-duty TorqShift® version designed for higher torque loads.

6.8L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas. 405 horsepower / 445 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel. Standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat F-250/F-350. Optional engine on those trims if you don’t need the additional power. Paired with TorqShift-G ten-speed automatic with Selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, Tow/Haul. The right engine for buyers who tow under about 12,000 lbs and don’t want to pay for diesel.

7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas (“Godzilla”). 430 horsepower / 485 lb-ft of torque on regular fuel. Optional on XL, XLT, and Lariat. Standard on King Ranch and Platinum. Best-in-class gas engine power output. Paired with the TorqShift-G ten-speed automatic. The Godzilla nickname comes from the engine’s exceptional performance for a naturally aspirated V8 — this is the right engine for buyers who want gas operation but tow heavier loads (15,000-19,000 lbs gas tow rating, depending on configuration).

6.7L 4 Valve OHV Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel B20. 475 horsepower / 1,050 lb-ft of torque (peak torque at 1,600 RPM). Optional on all retail F-250/F-350 trims. Standard on F-450. B20 designation means the engine can run on biodiesel blends up to 20%. Includes manual push-button engine-exhaust braking. Paired with the heavy-duty TorqShift ten-speed automatic with Selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, Tow/Haul, Trail (4x2), Off-Road (4x4). Operator Commanded Regeneration (OCR) for DPF management. The right engine for buyers who tow regularly above 15,000 lbs or run high mileage.

6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel B20. 500 horsepower / 1,200 lb-ft of torque. Optional on all retail F-250/F-350 trims (when configuration allows). Best-in-class diesel power output. Paired with TorqShift ten-speed automatic. The maximum-capability engine — the right choice for buyers approaching the upper end of the Super Duty’s tow ratings (over 20,000 lbs) or running professional-grade towing duty.

Engine choice quick reference:

• Towing under 12,000 lbs — 6.8L gas is plenty
• Towing 12,000-18,000 lbs — 7.3L gas (Godzilla) or 6.7L diesel
• Towing 18,000-22,000 lbs — 6.7L Power Stroke diesel
• Towing 22,000+ lbs or maximum capability — 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke

For the complete engines breakdown — including each engine’s specs and use case, the gas vs. diesel decision framework, transmission differences, and which engine fits which buyer — see our 2026 Ford Super Duty engines guide.

Towing and payload capability

The Super Duty’s towing and payload capabilities are the headline reason most buyers choose it over an F-150. The exact ratings depend on the specific configuration — F-250 vs F-350 SRW vs F-350 DRW vs F-450, engine choice, axle ratio, cab style, bed length, and packages.

Maximum capability headlines (when properly equipped):

• F-250 — up to 23,000 lbs maximum towing (gooseneck/fifth-wheel, HO diesel); up to about 18,000 lbs conventional bumper-pull; max payload around 4,200 lbs
• F-350 SRW — similar to F-250 with stronger axle and frame ratings
• F-350 DRW — up to 38,000 lbs maximum gooseneck towing (HO diesel); max payload up to 8,000 lbs (gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package on Regular Cab 4x2 DRW)
• F-450 — up to 40,000 lbs maximum gooseneck towing (HO diesel; F-450 XL Regular Cab 4x2 DRW with High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow Package)
