The 2023 Ford Super Duty is an all-new model, representing a redesign for the popular pickup, even though it may look quite a bit like the current-gen example. There are many new features present throughout the 2023 Super Duty that differentiate it from its predecessor, however, and that list includes a brand new cab, too.
“Yeah so the cab is new, it has the P702 F-150 cab and also even the interior,” Ford Super Duty engineering manager, Aaron Bresky, told Ford Authority Executive Editor, Alex Luft, at the truck’s reveal in Kentucky. “It’s not the P558 wrapped up in new jeans and a pair of shoes, it is a significant change.”
Aside from its brand new cab, the 2023 Ford Super Duty is also equipped with a host of other new features, including an enhanced, integrated tailgate step, as well as a brand new 6.8L V8 as the model’s standard powerplant – a notable detail that Ford Authority was the first to report. That particular engine doesn’t have a name like most of The Blue Oval’s other offerings, however. One notable omission from the new Super Duty is Ford’s BlueCruise hands-free highway driving feature, partly because it isn’t currently operable with a trailer.
Because Super Duty owners tend to tow a lot with their pickups, that was a no-go, and also the reason why Ford chose to beef up the frame of the new pickup, as Ford Authority reported last month. But when it comes to the off-road-focused Tremor, Ford remains open to the possibility of offering it with a front electronic-locking differential, a feature that’s present in several of the model’s competitors including the refreshed 2024 Chevy Silverado ZR2 and 2024 GMC Sierra AT4X – which have a front e-locker differential – as well as the Ram 2500 Power Wagon, which is equipped with an electronic-locking front differential.

The lowest-mile example we've seen in some time.
Outrunning some serious machinery in the process.
Though it expects to offset that loss via energy storage systems.
Joining most of the rest of Ford's EV lineup.
It was one of two department vehicles stolen in one week.
A slight change from prior studies.

When are books supposed to open for ordering? It was Sept, then Oct, then Oct 17. Any update?
I would like to know as well. I have heard Oct 17th then now I’m hearing Oct 27th but that’s only for XL, XLT and Lariat. Any news on the King Ranch?
Dealer told me January 2033 for ordering.
Is there a way to suggest to Ford to add the option on delivery? I was wanting to know if possibly not to pay almost $2K for delivery, but let’s have a option to pickup at the factory and have a tour the day of the pickup. Thanks in advance.
Destination/Delivery is flat rated in the Lower 48. Back when I was selling Fords, I worked at a dealership that was six miles from TwinCities Assembly, home of the Ranger at the time. I had a customer upset that it cost as much as California-bound Rangers; he was hoping to save a few bucks by ordering from us rather than his local dealer.
Sounds simple....but it's a mess. All the dealer prep would have to be done at the factory, which means they'd need a seperate area added to the plant off the main assembly line. Paperwork area for you to sign for it. Etc. And the factory tour is it's own mess, most plants are set up for it. Safety risks, liability, getting in the way of production, proprietary stuff that needs to be hidden, etc. As you said, Chevy does it. John Deere does it. But it's a big ordeal to set all that up
This is one badass looking truck!!
First time I've looked again since it was released, looks tough. Hopefully they bring it to Aus
This is the second generation Super Duty that shares its cab with the F Series. Makes perfect sense, as the F Series cabs where/are great. It's the parts you don't see that make the Super Duty, mmmm, SUPER!.
Going back some, my customers would sometime be surprised to find going from an F150 Super Cab to Super Duty Super Cab the rear leg room was less, pop out 1/4 windows instead of role downs....
Agreed. Nothing really new. More like a return to what was common.
Folks that go back far enough know that Ford used to use elements of the F-Series cabs on the medium duty trucks.
You do know that a super duty IS a F series truck ? F150, F250, F350, F450…see how that works 😂🤣🤣.
Yes, I would like to know when the order banks are supposed to open for the F350 King Ranch and above as well. We checked the Ford website last night as I thought it was October 17th but it's still only the '22s.
Is the 6.8 Flex Fuel? - the 6.2 was
Local dealer says they will take 23 Super Duty orders on 27 October. Take that FWIW. At least these guys near me don't do mark ups and let you look over their shoulder at the order bank stuff.
Ordered 2022 F250 Lariat (7.3) black appearance oackage on 12/4/21. Ford says they will build it week of 12/5/22. It's going to be at least 13 months from order to delivery. I'm not taking it when it comes in. Already bought a 2022 GMC 2500HD AT4. I bet a lot of people that ordered 22's and waited a year will change their mind and go with a 2023.
Thanks for all the insight, Didn't think about all that crap in just getting a vehicle from the factory. Sounds like the dealerships have built regulations to protect them for the long run.
will the 2023 F-350 come with the crew cab and the 8 foot box
