Towing Capacity Built for the Toughest Jobs
One of the Ford Super Duty’s standout strengths is its towing capability. Depending on the model and engine, the F-250, F-350, and F-450 can handle everything from standard work trailers to large commercial equipment.
The Ford F-250 Regular Cab 4x2 with the 6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel can tow up to 16,600 pounds, while the Crew Cab 4x4 Badlands model increases capacity to 18,200 pounds. For heavier applications, the F-350 offers up to 20,000 pounds of conventional towing.
The Ford F-450 takes towing to the next level, with a maximum conventional towing capacity of 30,000 pounds and available gooseneck and fifth-wheel capacities of 40,000 and 35,000 pounds, respectively. These figures give drivers the confidence to tackle demanding hauling tasks, whether for work, recreational trailers, or large equipment.
Performance Options That Works Hard
The 2026 Ford Super Duty is available with a range of engines designed to match the job at hand. Gas engine options include the 6.8L V8 producing 405 horsepower and the 7.3L V8 at 430 horsepower. For drivers who need more torque and efficiency, the 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel delivers 475 horsepower, while the High Output version provides 500 horsepower.
These engines are paired with robust transmissions and engineered suspensions, allowing the Super Duty to move heavy loads with control and reliability. Whether navigating steep inclines in Hendersonville or carrying equipment on rural roads near Brevard, the Super Duty’s performance ensures it handles both challenging terrain and everyday driving demands with ease.
Utility Designed for Real-World Use

Both boxes feature a height of 21.1 inches and long, flat floors that make loading and organizing tools, equipment, or supplies simple.
The overall dimensions, including 81.9 inches of floor length in the short box and 98.1 inches in the long box, give drivers the flexibility to haul a wide range of materials without compromising maneuverability.
