The 2023 Ford Super Duty was unveiled in late September 2022, bringing important tech upgrades to the heavy duty truck family, such as embedded 5G capability, Trailer Navigation and Pro Power Onboard. Additionally, the all-new pickup also gains some notable upgrades to the Integrated Tailgate Step, according to the engineer in charge of the Super Duty team, who explained the changes to Ford Authority at the reveal event in Kentucky.
According to Aaron Bresky, Ford Super Duty engineering manager, the Integrated Tailgate Step has been lowered by three inches. This change was implemented to make the first step up and last step down easier for users.
In addition to the new tailgate step, the 2023 Super Duty also features the Rear Bumper Step and the all-new Integrated Side Bed step, both of which help to access the pickup’s bed from the sides and rear of the vehicle. These differ from the optional bed step introduced by The Blue Oval for the 2021 Super Duty line, and it is currently unclear if that accessory will continue to be offered for the redesigned truck.
Aside from the new step, the 2023 Ford Super Duty also gains a standard 6.8L V8, an all new gasoline engine that Ford Authority was the first to report on. This engine is offered alongside the Ford 7.3L V8 Godzilla, the Ford 6.7L V8 Power Stroke diesel, and a new high-output version of the Power Stroke that features a unique turbo, tune, and upgraded exhaust manifolds.
The frame of the 2023 Super Duty was also strengthened in some key areas to improve its towing capabilities. In fact, the automaker claims that the new heavy duty pickup boasts “the most towing, payload, torque, and horsepower of any heavy-duty full-size truck.”

Comments
From the earliest version of the integrated tail gate step my customers (retired) admired the usefulness and benefit. I admired the engineering. Consumers overlook the creativity, then the engineering that does into ever single enhancement we see year in and year out on vehicles.
I’m glad I didn’t wait for the 2023 model. I ordered a 2022 Lariat F350. Love everything about it including the 7.3 liter engine. I have the Atlas blue two tone with charcoal gray on the lower. I see they did away with the Atlas blue after one year. That is shocking to me. The silver spruce color for the 2020 was available for two model years before it wasn’t offered.
Ford is the best Auto maker you don’t know what you’re talking about. General motors is garbage junk and so is Dodge Ford engines will last you forever if you change the oil and service on time can’t do that we with Chevy they really suck Ford has been number 1 for 40 years and their trucks over 45 straight years number 1 in sales Must be alot of dumb people No it’s you that doesn’t know anything. Ford will always be the best Look at their stocks I made a bundle in Ford I’ll laugh to the Bank
The Ford need more power of 500 of power 1300 of tor
I LOVE the step placement
Stop yelling
Just my opinion
Well in so many ways you say things but you have such a mad angry attitude instead of explaining. And then you want to complain about everything that has to do with the truck because you think it should be a certain way. But I can tell you that you’ll get more interest in conversation from Ford if you learn to calm down and talk to them instead of yelling in your conversation and being rude and bitter. But also if you have something to offer the way you explain things in the way you’re like well I guess you miss the boat, that doesn’t fix anything and that’s ignorant on your part because what have you got to gain from it? If you have something talk to him about it maybe they’ll work with you or buy it from you maybe it is something good. You get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar have you ever heard that? The way you handled and approach this just now was incredibly wrong, which shows ignorance on your part. Anyway if you have opinions about four just like we all do there’s a way to go about it and they do listen it’s how you present yourself. Maybe you’re not the type of person that knows how to present yourself to people properly, just because you’re a Rancher doesn’t mean squat you want the truck for a particular thing not everybody else wants the truck for that. I put my two cents in just like you did and you’re probably get upset with me but that’s how you come across maybe you should think about this and if you don’t like Ford then get to stepping and go find somebody you think is better. Most people do and then they find out in the long run they screwed up and they come back, and some people don’t come back because their pride stands in the way so they go pick another truck on purpose. You’re not doing any harm to forward you know how many people on this planet there are and how many people purchase Ford. You’re one little comment or you’re one little angry Outburst or you’re one little I’m leaving and I’m done with Ford will not even affect them in any way. Again if you want something talk to them I’ve watched them make lots of changes people have implemented or suggested I’m just saying
I don’t want to hear anything about what is coming in 2023 til I take delivery of my F450 king ranch I ordered 9mo. ago!
I’m unable to connect the TPS system with my fifth wheel camper. I bought the TPS accessory with the 2022 F 350 diesel.
