2026 Ford Super Duty in Central Indiana

The 2026 Super Duty Engine Lineup

The Super Duty offers four V8 engines: two gas and two 6.7L turbo diesels, which Ford calls Power Stroke. Every engine works through the 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission, and each is offered in 4x2 or 4x4. The Super Duty is never sold as an all-wheel-drive truck.

Four engines let you match the truck to the work and to the budget. The two gas V8s keep the up-front cost down and handle most everyday hauling: the 6.8L V8 is the standard engine at 405 hp and 445 lb-ft, and the 7.3L V8 that truck people nickname Godzilla pushes torque to 485 lb-ft without stepping up to diesel. The two 6.7L Power Stroke diesels are built for sustained heavy work: the standard diesel makes 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft, and the High-Output reaches 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft, the numbers behind the Super Duty's highest tow ratings. Both diesels are rated to run on B20 biodiesel.

Which way you go comes down to how hard and how often you pull.

Towing and Payload

Towing and payload are why most folks are looking at a Super Duty in the first place. The numbers below are maximums, and a truck only reaches them when it is built and equipped for that kind of pulling or hauling. The exact rating for any one truck depends on how it is built: the cab, the chassis series, the engine, the drivetrain (4x2 or 4x4), and the rear axle. Check the figure for the configuration you want before you hitch up to a heavy load.

Conventional bumper-pull towing, where the trailer hooks to a hitch at the rear bumper, is rated lower than the gooseneck and fifth-wheel figure and varies by configuration.

Gooseneck and fifth-wheel setups hitch the trailer in the bed of the truck instead, which is why the heaviest ratings assume that kind of hookup. You only reach the top of that range with a truck built for it: the High-Output 6.7L Power Stroke diesel does the pulling, and a heavier chassis with dual rear wheels carries the downward load the trailer puts on the hitch and adds the rear stability a 40,000-lb load needs. Payload, up to 8,000 lb properly configured, is what rides in the bed and cab together: tools, materials, equipment, and passengers, so a full cab of crew counts against the same number as the load in the bed. Matching a truck to a specific trailer or a known load? Our team can go through the ratings with you.

Cab, Bed, and Chassis Configurations

You build the Super Duty to fit the work, starting with the cab and then choosing a chassis series (the F-250, F-350, or F-450 step that sets how heavy-duty the truck is), a rear-wheel setup, and a cargo box.

Start with the cab, because it sets both how many people ride and how much of the truck goes to the bed. The Regular Cab seats 3 and is the smallest of the three cabs, so more of the truck goes to the bed. The SuperCab seats 6, with a rear compartment set up for shorter rides and covered storage. The Crew Cab also seats 6, and it gives a full crew real room to ride all day: 131.9 cu ft of passenger volume against the SuperCab's 116.3. That is why it is the usual choice for a truck that carries a team.

From there the chassis series sets the capability, stepping up in heavy-duty rating from the F-250 to the F-350 to the F-450. We also stock the F-550, a heavier truck that sits above those three pickup series, for the biggest jobs. Single-rear-wheel trucks are narrower, at 80 inches wide without mirrors, and easier to live with day to day; dual-rear-wheel trucks widen to 96 inches and add the rear stability the heaviest towing and payload call for. The 8 ft box holds the most cargo at 78.5 cu ft, while the 6-3/4 ft box, at 65.4 cu ft, shortens the truck for tighter work sites and parking.

Dimensions, Cargo, and Fuel Capacity

Size varies widely across the lineup because a Regular Cab short-box and a Crew Cab long-box are very different trucks. The ranges below cover the 2026 Super Duty across its cab and box combinations.

Interior and Seating

The cab you pick sets the seat count, and it sets the room those seats get. The Crew Cab is the roomiest for a full crew, with 43.6 inches of rear leg room, and both passenger volume and cargo space inside the cab grow with each cab step.

Trims and Starting Prices

The Super Duty comes in six trim levels, from the work-ready XL up to the top-line Limited. Standard equipment, features, and available colors differ by trim, so ask our team what a given trim includes before you decide.

Warranty and Ordering

Every new Super Duty pickup comes with Ford's factory warranty coverage, and the terms below are the standard ones for the pickups covered on this page.

These terms apply to Super Duty pickups (F-250 through F-450) with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) under 19,500 lb, that rating being the most the truck plus everything in it is rated to weigh. Chassis-cab trucks, which are a different body style from the pickups on this page, along with the F-550 and heavier configurations, can carry different coverage, so confirm the terms for your exact truck with our team.

When the configuration you want is not in stock, a factory custom order lets you build it the way the job needs it, and current Ford specials and offers are worth a look before you buy either way.
