2026 Ford Super Duty FAQ: Engines, Towing, Trims, and Specs

Gas engines pair with the 10-speed TorqShift-G automatic, which includes selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, and Tow/Haul. Diesel engines use the 10-speed TorqShift automatic, also with selectable drive modes. Both transmissions use an aluminum case and include live-drive power takeoff access on the driver side.

The 7.3L gas engine adds 25 hp (430 vs. 405) and 40 lb-ft of torque (485 vs. 445). It also carries a higher maximum tow rating in some configurations, making it a meaningful step up for contractors and fleet users who need more reserve capacity without moving to diesel.

The standard 6.7L Power Stroke produces 475 hp at 2,600 rpm and 1,050 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. The High Output version produces 500 hp at 2,600 rpm and 1,200 lb-ft at 1,600 rpm. Both are B20 biodiesel compatible.

The maximum towing capacity is 40,000 lbs, achieved with the F-450 DRW configured with the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke diesel and the 40k Gooseneck Tow Package. For conventional trailer towing on the F-250, the maximum reaches up to 22,000 lbs depending on configuration. The F-350 DRW with the High Output diesel and 5th-wheel setup can reach 35,000 lbs.
