Unmatched Powertrain Options
At the heart of the 2026 Super Duty are four robust engine choices, each paired with a smooth and reliable 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. Ford’s commitment to best-in-class performance shines through with these powertrains, designed to handle everything from daily commutes to hauling heavy equipment.
- 6.8-liter V8 Gasoline Engine: This base engine delivers a solid 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. It’s a great option for those who need dependable power without stepping into diesel territory.
- 7.3-liter V8 Gasoline Engine: Nicknamed the “Godzilla,” this gas engine pumps out 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque, leading its class for gasoline-powered heavy-duty trucks. It’s perfect for those who want strong performance with the simplicity of gas.
- 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel (Standard Output): Producing 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque, this diesel engine is a workhorse for serious towing and long-haul efficiency.
- 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel (High Output): The king of the lineup, this beast cranks out 500 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 1,200 lb-ft of torque, making it the undisputed leader in its class for diesel power.
These engines ensure the Super Duty can handle any task, whether it’s towing a gooseneck trailer weighing up to 40,000 pounds, a fifth-wheel trailer up to 35,000 pounds, or a conventional trailer up to 30,000 pounds. With a maximum payload capacity of 8,000 pounds, the Super Duty is engineered to carry the heaviest loads with ease.
New Packages for Every Need

Ford has listened to its customers and rolled out new packages for 2026 that make the Super Duty more versatile and user-friendly. These additions cater to those who demand both functionality and a touch of style.
- Lariat Premium Package: Available on the Lariat Crew Cab 4x4 with the 7.3-liter V8, this package bundles popular features into one convenient option. It includes Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0, a suite of advanced safety and driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. You also get platform running boards for easy access, power-sliding rear glass with defrost and privacy glass, and towing tech like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, Pro Trailer Backup Assist, and Trailer Reverse Guidance. This package is a game-changer for those who tow frequently, making the process smoother and less stressful.
- STX Appearance Package for F-350 Dually: Responding to customer feedback, Ford has extended the STX Appearance Package to dual-rear-wheel (DRW) F-350 models. This package adds a rugged yet refined look with body-color bumpers, a painted grille, distinctive STX badging, fog lamps, and polished forged aluminum wheels (17-inch for F-350 DRW, 19.5-inch for F-450). Inside, you’ll find cloth seating and full carpeting, giving the cabin a premium feel without sacrificing durability.
- Tremor Off-Road Package with Diesel Power: For those who venture off the beaten path, the Tremor Off-Road Package now pairs with the standard-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel. This combo brings 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque to the trail, along with 35-inch all-terrain tires, an off-road tuned suspension with 1.7-inch twin-tube dampers, and 10.5 inches of ground clearance. Whether you’re navigating rocky trails or muddy job sites, the Tremor is built to conquer tough terrain.
Another customer-driven update is the return of the SuperCab with a 6¾-foot bed, a configuration that strikes a balance between maneuverability and cargo space. This option is ideal for those who need a versatile truck for both urban and rural tasks.
Tech That Works as Hard as You Do

The 2026 Super Duty isn’t just about brute strength—it’s packed with technology that makes work easier and safer. Ford has introduced features that cater to both individual owners and fleet managers, ensuring the truck is as smart as it is tough.
- Ford Connectivity Package: This package now offers a seven-year one-time purchase option, giving owners access to cellular connectivity, a Wi-Fi hotspot, connected navigation, streaming, voice assistant, and entertainment features. For fleet operators, Ford includes this package free for the first year, providing tools like Ford Pro Telematics Essentials for vehicle health insights, dealer scheduling, and maintenance tracking. This is a big win for businesses looking to keep their fleets running smoothly.
- Pro Trailer Hitch Assist: Hooking up a trailer is often a two-person job, but Ford’s class-exclusive Pro Trailer Hitch Assist makes it a breeze for one person. Using cameras and sensors, the system guides you to the trailer hitch with precision, displayed on the center screen for easy alignment.
- Onboard Scales and Smart Hitch: These features help you balance loads and ensure you’re within safe towing limits. Onboard scales measure payload weight, while Smart Hitch calculates tongue weight, making it easier to distribute loads correctly.
- Pro Power Onboard: With up to 2 kW of exportable power, the Super Duty can serve as a mobile generator, powering tools and equipment on remote job sites. This feature is a lifesaver for contractors who need reliable power wherever they go.
Tire pressure monitoring is now standard across all Super Duty models, including the F-550 chassis cab, adding an extra layer of safety and convenience for maintaining optimal performance.
Style That Stands Out

Ford knows that a truck isn’t just a tool—it’s a statement. The 2026 Super Duty gets a visual refresh with new exterior colors and dealer-installed options that let owners personalize their ride. New color choices include Argon Blue Metallic and Marsh Gray Metallic for all buyers, plus Iconic Silver Metallic for fleet customers. These shades add a modern edge to the truck’s muscular design, which features a military-grade aluminum body on a high-strength steel frame for durability and weight savings.
For those who want to take customization further, Ford offers new dealer-installed options:
- Black or chrome tubular running boards for a sleek look and easy cab access.
- Hard or soft roll-up truck bed covers from RealTruck Advantage for secure, weather-resistant storage.
- Tailgate lettering in matte black or carbon fiber for a bold, custom touch.
- An illuminated front emblem to make your Super Duty stand out at night.
- A Kicker subwoofer to crank up the audio experience on long drives.
The exterior design is both functional and aggressive, with a wide mesh-style grille, chiseled hood, and full LED lighting with signature C-clamp daytime running lights. Flared fenders and sculpted body panels enhance aerodynamics while giving the truck a commanding presence.
Built for the Toughest Jobs
Ford proudly builds every 2026 Super Duty in the U.S. at its Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant, with thousands of United Auto Workers (UAW) members behind the production. For over 25 years, the Super Duty has been the backbone of industries like construction, mining, forestry, utilities, and emergency services. Ford reports that 96% of Super Duty owners use their trucks for towing, and the 2026 model is engineered to excel in this area with best-in-class ratings across the board.
The truck’s high-strength steel frame and military-grade aluminum body provide the durability needed for demanding tasks, while features like Trailer Sway Control automatically adjust brakes and engine power to keep heavy loads stable. Whether you’re hauling lumber, towing heavy equipment, or pulling a trailer for a weekend getaway, the Super Duty is built to get the job done.
Award-Winning Legacy
The Super Duty’s reputation for excellence is backed by a string of accolades. The 2025 F-250 and F-350 earned Vincentric Best Value in America awards, with the F-250 winning for the seventh time and the F-350 for the tenth. J.D. Power ranked the Super Duty number one in driver satisfaction among heavy-duty trucks, and the 2024 model was named North American Truck of the Year. These awards highlight Ford’s commitment to building a truck that delivers on performance, reliability, and value.
Why the 2026 Super Duty Stands Out
While the 2026 Ford Super Duty isn’t a complete redesign, it’s clear Ford has its finger on the pulse of what truck owners want. The new packages, like the Lariat Premium and STX Appearance, add value and style without breaking the bank. The return of the 6¾-foot bed SuperCab and the diesel-powered Tremor package show Ford’s dedication to meeting customer needs. Add in cutting-edge tech like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and the Ford Connectivity Package, and you’ve got a truck that’s as smart as it is strong.
For those who need a truck that can handle massive loads, navigate tough terrain, or simply make the workday more comfortable, the 2026 Super Duty delivers. With production expanding to a new facility in Oakville, Ontario, Ford is gearing up to meet growing demand, ensuring more buyers can get behind the wheel of this powerhouse. Whether you’re a contractor, a fleet manager, or someone who just loves the open road, the 2026 Ford Super Duty is built to exceed expectations.
