We love trucks, you love trucks, Ford loves trucks so much they barely sell cars here anymore. This is the Super Duty. That means it’s anything from the F-250 to the F-600. These are the big chonks and I’m going to talk about as much as I can in the few hours I’m here at the Ford Proving Grounds.

And there’s a lot to talk about. I could spend an hour just discussing the model options, trim levels and pricing. But let’s start out with all our options.

There’s the F-250 and the bigger F-350 those are both available in all the trim levels, The XL, XL-Off-road, SLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, Limited and Tremor. The duly 350 doesn’t come in the XL off-road or Tremor versions.

There are four engine options available, too. Standard is now a 6.8-liter V8 (405 hp/445 lb-ft torque). It’s naturally aspirated. The 7.3-liter V8 is higher output (430 hp/485 lb-ft torque) gets more in the torque department. There are two diesel options in a 6.7-liter power stroke V8. (475 hp/1050 lb-ft torque). That gets a single turbo and the high output turbo diesel (500 hp/1200 lb-ft torque) gets a sick amount of torque that does some serious heavy lifting. Some of those max numbers mean you’re towing with a gooseneck hitch, so make sure you come properly prepared.

Towing is the main reason you buy one of these and we’ve got some opportunities here. But here’s a quick snapshot of max towing capacities by model.

The duly 450 40,000 pounds. If you opt for the Tremor on either the 250 or 350, you’re looking at 18,200 pounds max. Cargo capacity maxes out at 8,000 pounds depending on model and engine variant.

The Super Duty gets a new system called the Ford Pro Upfit Integration System and lets you hook other hardware like a snow plow or crane into the truck electrical system so you can use the truck’s digital display to operate the equipment.

Those engine options aside, the Super Duty series gets some upgraded looks both inside and out. There are seven new grille options all maximized for cooling. They get the C-clamp lighting and available LEDs on all trim levels. There are also new appearance packages with the STX, Sport, and Black that offer up wheel options and paint choices that give you the opportunity to give your truck some personal flair.

Where it’s available the Tremor off-road package gives you a front end lift, and off-road tuned suspension that will eat up whoops and allow you to increase speeds over washboard. You also get a Dana front axle and 35-inch off-road tires from Goodyear.

You have terrain control, which allows you to select different terrain like mud, sand, snow and the like and you also get Trail Turn Assist which is on the Bronco and is a great system for making your monster truck feel smaller around turns.

Inside the Super Duty you get a standard 8-inch touchscreen but on anything higher than the XL you’re looking at a 12-inch screen. There’s a 12-inch digital gauge cluster that you can customize, wireless charging and this cool slot for a tablet for work stuff. You can also opt for a max recline seat which comes close to laying completely flat in case you need some shut eye.

You can make upgrades to your Super Duty that include a Bang & Olufson sound system, heated and ventilated front seats and other luxury amenities. Check out the King Ranch, Platinum and Limited trims for those extras.

There’s a Blind Spot information system you can use with the gooseneck, or fifth wheel set up. You put in on your trailer and you can see when you’ve got company next to you.

There’s also a Tailgate Down feature that lets you know when the tailgate is down, wow, that was well-named, and can even help you back up onto a loading dock with it down.

Okay pricing on the Super Duty F-250 XL starts around $44,000. If you get the F-250 XLT (graphic: $50,105) you get the bigger gas engine and can upgrade to the Tremor Off-Road package (graphic: Tremor Package: $4375). The F-250 Limited, which is the highest base price with this model starts at around $96,100. The 350 XL starts around $45,100 and maxes out with the Limited at $97,300. The 450 base model XL starts at $58,500 and tops out on the Limited at, yes, you guessed it over six figures with a base price of $103,100.

The Super Duty is big truck. Capable, durable, heavy-duty stuff for heavy duty work. There’s a reason why the F-Series is the best-selling vehicle in America, and Ford’s just made it even more compelling with some insane tech and power upgrades. Dig in. For real you could in this.
