Ford Motor co. in Dearborn has opened orders for the 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty, which the automaker states offers best in class performance with 1,200 pound-feet of torque available, 40,000-pounds maximum towing, and 8,000-pounds of maximum payload.
The new offerings helps customers haul more and tow more than any other heavy-duty pickup truck in its class — which includes GMC Sierra 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 3500, and Ram 3500 — while a new suite of cloud-based services adds productivity both on and off the jobsite.
“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,” says Andrew Kernahan, Super Duty chief program engineer at Ford. “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 states Super Duty offers the best maximum tow rating for all types of trailering: conventional, 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 best in class features include:
- Maximum available gooseneck towing of 40,000 pounds with F-450 pickup.
- Maximum available gooseneck in F-350/3500 DRW pickup subsegment with 38,000 pounds.

Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist steers the truck to align the hitch ball to the receiver, optional Smart Hitch helps customers distribute trailer weight properly, and 360-Degree Trailer Camera Package provides a birds-eye view of the truck, cargo box and trailer.
An available full-color head-up display helps keep eyes on the road and shows turn-by-turn trailer navigation that customizes your route to make it easier to drive with a trailer.
Steep grades and heavy loads feel easier with four engines including the all-new 6.8-liter gas, upgraded 7.3-liter gas V8, 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8, and new high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 producing class-leading 1,200 pound.-feet of torque and 500 horsepower. Every engine is paired to a 10-speed transmission with 4×4 standard on XLT and above.
Super Duty pickup offers the best maximum payload rating available at 8,000 pounds. Available onboard scales can measure a payload that is the equivalent of up to 100 eighty-pound bags of cement.
It also includes technology designed to make work easier, like 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 the rest of the segment.
Standard FordPass Connect embedded 5G modem enables Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices at home or on the jobsite. The most connected F-Series Super Duty will receive Ford Power-Up software updates so the vehicle can get better over time.
High-speed connectivity also enables important software and data tools like Ford Pro Telematics and Super Duty’s new Vehicle Security Package. Together these digital subscriptions and the growing Ford Pro ecosystem of software and services — such as VIIZR, an all-in-one job management platform — can help small to medium businesses manage downtime and productivity.
The 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty is assembled at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville and the Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake.
