Ford calls the Super Duty “the truck that gets it done,” and the F-350 does that with legendary toughness combined with the latest technology. The Ford F-350 sits in the middle of Ford’s Super Duty lineup of heavy-duty pickup trucks, but there’s nothing middling about its capabilities, and it’s all-new for 2023. If you’re looking for the Ford F-350 for sale that gets your job done, check out the specs and models below to find your perfect heavy-duty workmate.
Whether you’re a farmer, a contractor, or any other hard-working professional, or you need to tow a horse trailer, a boat, or a fifth wheel camper, the F-350 offers a model that’s perfect for the job. Ford redesigned the Super Duty lineup for 2023 to offer more towing, hauling, and safety technology than ever before, along with a new available 500 hp High-Output Turbo Diesel engine that delivers go-anywhere power. And yet, it’s comfortable enough to be the family’s weekend ride.
An Array of Powerful Engine Options
The Super Duty lineup delivers power to spare. The base engine is a 6.8-liter gas V8. The other available gasoline-powered motor is a 7.3-liter V8, which generates a class-leading rating of 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque. If you need more grunt, however, there are two diesel options. The first is the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. Its variable-geometry turbocharger and 36,000-psi fuel injection system help it to produce 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. A durable block, forged-steel pistons, and beefed-up connector rods, cylinder heads, and bearings give it the ruggedness it needs to pull heavy loads for the long haul.
At the top of the lineup sits the 6.7-liter High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. This beast delivers 500 hp, a positively earth-moving 1,200 lb-ft of torque, and up to 38,000 lbs of towing power when properly equipped. For Super Duty chassis cab models, both diesel options also provide 300 hp of Power Take-Off (PTO) torque for whatever aftermarket upfits you install. A ten-bolt PTO mounting pattern makes mounting larger PTO devices more secure. So, if you install a dump truck body, cherry picker, or any other heavy equipment, it will be good for the long term.
Trailering and Off-Road Tech
Ford’s engineers designed the new F-350 to make every aspect of your job easier and safer. For example, the Pro Trailer Hitch Assist feature takes over when it’s time to back up to hitch up a trailer. It steers and brakes for you to line up the hitch with the trailer so that you can stay in the driver’s seat. The Smart Hitch measures tongue weight once the trailer is attached. Or if you’re hauling a load in the bed, Onboard Scales help estimate and distribute your load more evenly.
Once you’ve got the trailer underway, the F-350 surrounds you with tech to make driving easier and safer. The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) monitors your blind spots even with trailers up to 33 ft long. And all new for this year, an optional 360-Degree Sensor Kit can be mounted when you’re towing a fifth wheel or other large trailer to give you a bird’s eye view of your whole rig. Then, when you need to back up, the available Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes backing up as easy as turning a knob in the direction you want the trailer to go.
Even the best truck’s capabilities are wasted if your route takes you down a road that’s too small or crossed by a bridge that’s too low for your load, forcing you to waste time backing up and finding another route. To solve that problem, the F-350’s Trailer Navigation option can be programmed with your trailer’s size and mind. Then, it will find you a route with the best height and width clearances for what you’ve got in tow.
If you need to get to the remote parts of your ranch or go off-road to your favorite camping or fishing spot, the Super Duty lineup provides the available Tremor Off-Road Package. This includes an off-road-tuned suspension with 1.7-inch twin-tube dampers, along with 35-inch all-terrain tires. You can choose handling settings such as Rock Crawl and Trail Control to tackle any grade or surface you encounter.
Other thoughtful productivity boosters abound, including built-in steps in the box side and rear bumper, which make accessing the bed area easier. The Pro Power Onboard outlet provides up to 2 kW of electric power for running tools at even the most remote job site. The interior Work Surface option transforms the interior into an on-site office. And there’s an optional Tailgate Down Camera on the upper edge of the tailgate that displays what’s behind you even when the tailgate is down. That’s how thoroughly Ford’s engineers considered your needs as the truck’s owner.
An Inviting Interior Filled With Innovative Comfort and Convenience Features
Along with a redesigned exterior that combines old-school toughness with modern features, the F-350 sports an all-new interior. Because so many of us now use our workaday trucks as weekend family haulers, Ford has made the F-350’s cabin an even more inviting place to be. Newly designed premium seating options cradle the truck’s occupants in unexpected levels of comfort. Legroom and headroom exceed all expectations, befitting a class of vehicle that has come to be seen as much as a modern equivalent to a luxury car as it is a workhorse.
Speaking of luxury, optional leather trim with available built-in cooling makes the seat even more inviting. Select wood grain appliques boost the cabin’s visual appeal. A 12-inch display offers unparalleled views of everything from the navigation system to the backup and 360-degree cameras. You can also take advantage of the available Bang & Olufsen sound system for 18-speaker concert hall sound. And finally, an available twin-panel moonroof lets in sunny days and starry summer nights.
A Closer Look at the Trim Levels
The F-350 offers a range of trim levels covering the spectrum from base model to luxury performance. The base XL two-door, long-bed, regular cab model includes the 6.8-liter gas engine as its standard offering. The 7.3-liter gas engine and both 6.7-liter Turbo Diesels are optional. Ford’s TorqShift-G ten-speed automatic comes standard, and the same transmission with selectable drive modes is an available upgrade. Two-wheel drive is standard, and 4×4 is optional. Stepping up to the XLT brings a standard 7.3-liter gas engine with both 6.7-liter Turbo Diesels as options. 4×4 and the TorqShift ten-speed auto transmission with selectable drive modes are standard. This is also a regular-cab, long-bed model. The Tremor Off-Road package is optional.
The F-350 LARIAT sports the two-door extended cab and the same engine choices and standard 4×4 as the XLT. More luxury features come standard, including leather seating and the Bang & Olufsen premium sound system. Leather seats, carbonized gray aluminum wheels, standard LED headlights and tail lights, a digital instrument cluster, and a 12-inch LCD touchscreen come standard, along with towing features such as Powerscope Trailer Tow mirrors and the 360-Degree Camera package.
The F-350 King Ranch’s Kingsville Antique Affect leather trim highlights a Southwestern ranch theme. Other standard features on the King Ranch include Pro Power Onboard with 2 kW to run your power tools and the Power Tailgate with a camera in its upper edge so you can see what’s behind you when the tailgate is down.The Platinum trim level is very similar to the King Ranch in features and price but adds an appearance package with body-colored bumpers, a Satin Aluminum grille, chrome tow hooks, and LED headlights and tail lamps.
Finally, the F-350 Limited edition provides pretty much every luxury, power, and performance feature available in the Super Duty lineup. The 6.7-liter High Output Turbo Diesel V8 is the standard power plant, while two-toned Admiral Blue and Light Slate leather seating distinguishes the interior. Onboard scales and a Smart Hitch are optional equipment.
You’ll Never Have to Compromise When You’re Behind the Wheel of a Ford F-350
So, as we can see, the F-350 does not compromise on comfort and luxury, with redesigned interiors, premium cabins, and optional high-end features adapting to the evolving expectations and lifestyles of modern users. Plus, the versatility in trim levels ensures a tailor-made fit for every driver. To sum up its mission, the Super Duty lineup blends robust performance, sophisticated technology, and refined comfort, elevating it within the heavy-duty pickup class.
