How has the 2023 Ford Super Duty changed compared to the 2023 Ford Super Duty trucks? After a full redesign for the 2023 model year, these heavy-duty trucks deliver more power, greater performance, and an incredible array of new features. Let’s take a look.
Power & Performance
The 2022 Super Duty offers three powerful engine options:
- 6.2-liter V8 gas engine (385 horsepower, 430 lb-ft of torque)
- 7.3L V8 gas engine (430 hp, 475 lb-ft)
- Turbocharged 6.7L V8 diesel engine (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft)
When you choose the redesigned 2023 Super Duty, you’ll find it has a bigger (and likely more powerful) standard engine, a 6.8-liter V8. The 7.2-liter gas V8 and 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 rejoin the lineup for 2023, as well as a brand new high-output version of the Power Stroke. We don’t yet know how powerful any of these engines will be, but we expect them to meet or beat last year’s numbers. Here are the four 2023 engine options:
- 6.8L V8 gas engine
- 7.2L V8 gas engine
- 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine
- High-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine
Tech & Safety Gear
The 2022 Ford Super Duty offers some pretty nifty convenience and infotainment features. Although lower trim models stick to the older SYNC 3 infotainment system, SYNC 4 is available on higher trim levels. You’ll also find these features available:
- Backup camera
- SYNC 3 with 8-inch touchscreen
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Dual USB ports
- Forward collision mitigation
- Blind-spot monitoring
When you choose the redesigned 2023 Super Duty, however, you get a lot more bang for your buck. In addition to the aforementioned features, you can find these upgrades:
- 12-inch customizable digital gauge cluster
- SYNC 4 with 8- or 12-inch touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Four USB ports
- Intelligent adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane centering
- Forward/reverse sensing system
- Front and rear brake assist
- Full-color head-up display
Work-Friendly Innovation
When it comes to work-friendly tech features, the redesigned 2023 Super Duty has much more to offer. The 2022 models offer the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system, which certainly comes in handy when you’re attempting to back a trailer in a particular direction. You can also equip the 2022 Super Duty with lots of tow-friendly cameras.
However, the 2023 Super Duty offers a range of upgrades, including features you won’t find anywhere else. For example a new trailer navigation system plots a route that helps you avoid low-hanging bridges and tight turns. Other available features include:
- Pro Power Onboard
- Onboard scales with Smart Hitch
- 360-degree trailer camera system
- Blind-spot monitoring for fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers
- Tailgate down camera and tailgate down reverse sensing system
- Pro Trailer Hitch Assist
- Trailer navigation system
Creature Comforts
Both heavy-duty Ford trucks offer three roomy cabin options: regular, extended SuperCab, and SuperCrew. And you can also choose from a variety of trim models, which range from pretty basic to very swanky. Both trucks are big on optional luxury features, too, such as:
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
- Leather upholstery
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Ambient interior lighting
- Remote engine start
But the redesigned 2023 Super Duty offers something you won’t find on previous models: Ford’s Max Recline Seats. These fold nearly flat, making it possible for you to take a nap on your work break!
The Best Super Duty for the Job
In the end, both Ford Super Duty trucks are big on power and performance. But the redesigned 2023 Ford Super Duty offers a much longer list of work-friendly innovations and comforts. Not to mention we expect these new heavy-duty trucks to deliver more power than ever before!
