It comes as no surprise to our team at Planet Ford in Spring, Texas that the all-new 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty is making headlines again for its towing, power, and payload abilities. It offers best-in-class performance right where customers want and need it with 1,200 lb.-ft. of torque*** available, 40,000 pounds maximum towing*, and 8,000 pounds of maximum payload**. That high level of capability coupled with ingenious new confidence-inspiring technology helps customers haul more** and tow more* than any other heavy-duty pickup truck 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,” said Andrew Kernahan, Super Duty chief program engineer. “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.”
Tow Tough & With Confidence
When you’re a heavy-duty pickup owner, you want to use your truck for big towing jobs. The Super Duty offers the best maximum tow rating for all types of trailering: conventional (including pintle), 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.

Ford Payload and Class-Exclusive Productivity
Super Duty truck 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. But the business end of the pickup is more than just hauling, it’s designed for productivity with standard bed side and rear bumper corner steps and an available tailgate step that’s three inches lower than before.
Technology to make work easier is back there too, 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 capability1 with five times more exportable power than anyone else in 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.
