2023 Ford Super Duty Preview Drive: Cool tech, great torque
gets a similarly comprehensive overhaul for 2023, touching on many of the same points, only tweaked for the customers who need a bit more capability than what is available from today’s already-impressive half-tons.
This time around, the Super Duty is available with four engines rather than three, though unlike the F-150, you won’t find anythinghere. The old 6.2-liter V8 was tossed in favor of a new 6.8-liter engine based on the “Godzilla” architecture. It’s good for 405 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque — improvements of 20 hp and 15 lb-ft, respectively.
The diesels are especially giggle-worthy. Even with tens of thousands of pounds pressing down on the box, the tires can struggle a bit for traction. The normally placid 10-speed also makes itself known with this much weight behind it, but any suggestion of drama disappears quickly as the truck gains momentum. Steering is tight and the nose planted, but that’s as much about properly loading the truck as it is about fundamental capability.
An F-250, -350 or -450 may just seem like paths to climb the F-Series mountain for those who want the biggest, baddest full-size truck, but realistically they’re geared toward different customers. Ford groups them under its “Ford Pro” brand with its other commercial offerings. After all, the Super Duty is set up for outfitters and riggers who need them to perform specialized functions.
With the F-150’s electronics migrating over, implementing features similar to those found on the refreshed half-ton was made relatively simple.
