What’s New For The Ford 2026 Super Duty Family Of Pickups?

The wraps were recently pulled off the updated 2026 Ford Super Duty lineup, and it’s clear Ford is doubling down on capability, comfort, and customization. Built to dominate job sites and tow just about anything you can hook behind it, the Ford Super Duty still holds on to its “best-in-class” bragging rights in horsepower, torque, towing, and payload. But for 2026, Ford has added fresh packages, expanded customer-favorite options, and even sprinkled in a few new colors and dealer-installed goodies to keep things interesting.

A Closer Look At The New Packages

One of the biggest highlights this year is the brand-new Lariat Premium Package, available on the Lariat Crew Cab 4×4. Ford says the package bundles together features most buyers already option, making ordering simpler. Think Ford Co-Pilot360 2.0, platform running boards, power-sliding rear glass with defrost, trailer tech like Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist, plus Trailer Reverse Guidance. Basically, it’s everything you’d want if you plan to tow heavy and often.

Ford is also responding to customer demand by opening up the STX Appearance Package to dual-rear-wheel (DRW) models. That means DRW buyers can now enjoy body-color bumpers, a painted grille, STX badging, fog lamps, polished forged aluminum wheels (17-inch for F-350 DRW, 19.5-inch for F-450), and a sharp interior with cloth seating and full carpeting.

The Tremor Off-Road Package can also now be paired with the standard-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, giving more buyers access to Ford’s off-road-focused heavy-duty setup.

Another bit of good news? The SuperCab with the 6¾-foot bed is back for 2026 after fans asked for its return. And across the board, Tire Pressure Monitoring is now standard all the way up to the F-550 chassis cab.

Smarter Connectivity for the 2026 Ford Super Duty

Tech-savvy truck owners and fleet managers will like this: the Ford Connectivity Package now comes with a seven-year one-time purchase option. This bundle includes cellular connectivity, Wi-Fi hotspot, connected navigation, streaming, voice assistant, and entertainment features. For fleets, Ford is making the package standard for the first year.

Fresh Paint And More Options

Ford also added some new colors to keep your truck looking sharp: Argon Blue Metallic, Marsh Gray Metallic, and Iconic Silver Metallic (fleet only).

On top of that, buyers can pick from a list of new dealer-installed options. Examples include: black or chrome tubular running boards, truck bed covers by RealTruck Advantage, tailgate lettering in matte black or carbon fiber, an illuminated front emblem, and even a Kicker subwoofer to pump up the tunes.

Built In America, Built For Work

Ford loves to remind us that 100 percent of 2026 Ford Super Duty trucks sold in America are assembled right here in the U.S. at plants in Kentucky and Ohio, with thousands of UAW workers behind the build. And with over 25 years of proving itself as “the truck that builds America,” it’s no surprise that Super Duty dominates industries like utilities, emergency services, mining, forestry, and construction.

And let’s be real—if you’re buying one of these, chances are you’re towing. Ford says 96% of Super Duty owners use their trucks for towing; Ford has engineered it with best-in-class payload and towing for nearly every trailer type. The numbers are insane: up to 40,000 pounds gooseneck, 35,000 fifth-wheel, 30,000 conventional, and a max payload of 8,000 pounds.

2026 Ford Super Duty Powertrain And Performance

Under the hood, Ford continues to offer four engines: the 6.8-liter gas V8, the 7.3-liter gas V8, the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8, and the monster high-output version of the Power Stroke. The high-output diesel cranks out a jaw-dropping 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque, making it the class leader. Gas guys aren’t left behind, either. The 7.3-liter delivers 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque, also best in class. All engines pair with Ford’s ten-speed TorqShift automatic.

Innovation That Works

Ford isn’t just flexing muscle; it’s adding features that make life easier. From Pro Trailer Hitch Assist (a class-exclusive feature that makes hooking up a trailer a one-person job) to onboard scales (with Smart Hitch for load balancing) to Pro Power Onboard (with up to 2 kW of exportable power), Super Duty is a rolling tool chest for the modern job site.

Awards Keep Piling Up

Ford’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. The 2025 F-250 and F-350 both picked up Vincentric Best Value in America awards, with the F-250 winning for the seventh time and the F-350 for the tenth. On top of that, J.D. Power ranked Super Duty #1 in driver satisfaction among heavy-duty trucks, and the 2024 model took home the North American Truck of the Year award.

The 2026 Ford Super Duty isn’t a ground-up redesign, but Ford has clearly listened to its customers. More package flexibility, more tech, fresh looks, and unbeatable power keep it at the top of the heavy-duty food chain. Whether you’re towing 40,000 pounds or just looking for a daily driver that can do it all, the Super Duty is still the one to beat.
