2026 Ford F-350® Super Duty in Southeast Michigan
The 2026 Ford F-350® Super Duty is offered in Single Rear Wheel (SRW) and Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configurations across five trims that span from the XL work truck in the high-$40Ks to the Platinum luxury pickup in the high-$70Ks. Four engines run from the 405-hp 6.8L V8 gas to the 500-hp / 1,200-lb-ft 6.7L HO Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. Maximum towing reaches 27,400 lbs conventional in F-350 SRW and 35,000 lbs conventional in F-350 DRW. Maximum payload reaches 8,000 lbs in F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2 with the gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package.
Most F-350 buyers are former F-250 owners. The trailer outgrew the F-250's tow rating. The payload outgrew F-250 SRW's 4,246-lb maximum. The work demanded chassis margin that F-250 doesn't carry. The F-350 Super Duty is the next step in Ford's heavy-duty trio (F-250 ? F-350 ? F-450) and where most retail and ag buyers stop. The Ford Model Research page covers the broader Ford new-vehicle lineup.

SRW or DRW: The F-350's Defining Choice
The F-350 buyer's first decision is single rear wheel or dual rear wheel. The choice reshapes the truck's footprint, capability, parking realities, and price. Trim, engine, cab style, and bed length follow from this decision.
| Configuration | Max Payload | Max Conventional Tow | Width Without Mirrors | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-350 SRW (Single Rear Wheel) | Up to ~4,400 lbs | Up to 27,400 lbs | 80 in. | Heavy-duty retail buyers, contractors, daily-driver compatibility, and F-250 step-up buyers who do not need a commercial footprint. |
| F-350 DRW (Dual Rear Wheel) | Up to 8,000 lbs | Up to 35,000 lbs | 96 in. | Commercial-grade work, ag, fleet, heavy upfit, heavy trailer, and large-RV towing. |
F-350 SRW keeps the 80-inch width that matches F-250 and F-150. It fits the same parking spaces and turns the same radius. SRW is the F-350 most contractor and retail buyers actually pick because it adds chassis margin over F-250 without committing to commercial-grade footprint.
F-350 DRW runs 96 inches wide and includes federally required LED Roof Marker/Clearance Lamps. The dual rear wheel pair adds stability under heavy loads but requires commercial-grade parking awareness and a wider turning radius. DRW configurations use a 4-ton hydraulic jack instead of the SRW's 3-ton mechanical jack. Rear GAWR jumps significantly: F-350 SRW rear is 6,780 to 7,230 lbs; F-350 DRW rear is 9,900 to 10,300 lbs.
The F-350 Super Duty Trim Ladder: XL Through Platinum
The F-350 Super Duty trim ladder mirrors F-250 in structure but shifts the price band up by roughly $1,300 across every trim. SRW or DRW availability runs across all five trims, with some specific packages tied to one configuration or the other.
| Trim | Starting Around | Anchors The Buyer Who Wants |
|---|---|---|
| XL | High-$40Ks | Work truck. 6.8L V8 gas, vinyl seats, 8-inch SYNC 4. F-350 Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package available on DRW. |
| XLT | Low-$50Ks | Work truck with comfort. Cloth seats, 8-way power driver, integrated trailer brake controller standard, Tremor available. |
| Lariat | Low-$60Ks | Mid-luxury daily driver that still works. ActiveX seats, 12-inch SYNC 4, dual-zone climate, B&O 8-speaker. |
| King Ranch | High-$70Ks | Western luxury. Caribou leather, 14-speaker B&O Unleashed, head-up display, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist standard. |
| Platinum | High-$70Ks | Modern luxury. Black Onyx/Platinum Blue leather, smoked truffle option, Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch standard. |
XL
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty XL is the work truck. Standard equipment is functional and basic: a vinyl 40/20/40 split bench, manual climate control, the 4.2-inch cluster productivity screen, and SYNC 4 with an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen. The 6.8L V8 gas is standard, with an available 6.7L Power Stroke diesel for buyers who tow heavier than the gas engine handles comfortably. The F-350 XL is also the trim where the Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package becomes available on DRW Regular Cab to unlock the lineup's 8,000-lb max payload number.
XLT
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty XLT keeps the work-truck capability and adds the comfort layer most retail buyers want. Standard equipment includes a cloth 40/20/40 split bench with an 8-way power driver seat, the integrated trailer brake controller, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. The Tremor Off-Road Package becomes available, and the Black Appearance Package adds the all-black aesthetic on Crew Cab.
Lariat
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty Lariat is where the F-350 starts feeling like a luxury heavy-duty pickup rather than a work truck with comfort upgrades. ActiveX trimmed seats, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, a 12-inch SYNC 4 display, a 12-inch cluster productivity screen, and a B&O 8-speaker sound system come standard. The 360-Degree Camera Package and Wireless Charging Pad are also standard.
King Ranch
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty King Ranch is the Western luxury answer in the trim ladder. The 7.3L 2V V8 gas replaces the 6.8L V8 as the standard engine, with both Power Stroke diesels available. Caribou-accent leather seats, unique King Ranch interior trim, a heated leather-wrapped power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, the 14-speaker B&O Unleashed Sound System, head-up display, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist come standard. F-350 King Ranch DRW configurations use unique 17-inch King Ranch Forged Polished Aluminum DRW wheels.
Platinum
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty Platinum is the modern luxury counterpoint to King Ranch. The 7.3L V8 gas remains the standard engine, with the same diesel options available. Black Onyx with Platinum Blue accent leather seats are standard, with a Smoked Truffle premium leather option through the Platinum Plus Package. Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist are standard. SRW Platinum runs 20-inch Bright Machined and Ebony Black wheels; DRW Platinum runs 17-inch Polished Forged Aluminum DRW wheels.
The Engine Choice: Gas or Diesel
The F-350 engine decision interacts with the SRW/DRW decision in ways that do not apply to F-250. Heavy-tow DRW work almost always points to the HO Power Stroke. Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package on DRW Regular Cab is the gas-engine path to the 8,000-lb max payload number.
| Engine | Output | Trim Availability |
|---|---|---|
| 6.8L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas | 405 hp / 445 lb-ft | Standard XL, XLT, Lariat. Pairs with F-350 Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package on DRW Regular Cab to unlock 8,000-lb max payload. |
| 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8 Gas | 430 hp / 485 lb-ft | Standard King Ranch, Platinum. Available XL, XLT, Lariat. |
| 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel | 475 hp / 1,050 lb-ft | Available all trims. Up to 35,000 lbs conventional tow on F-350 DRW with the right axle ratio. |
| 6.7L HO Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel | 500 hp / 1,200 lb-ft | Available all trims. F-350 SRW lineup-best 27,400 lbs conventional tow with the right tire and package combination. |
The TorqShift-G 10-speed automatic pairs with the gas engines; the TorqShift 10-speed automatic pairs with the diesels. Both transmissions offer Selectable Drive Modes: Normal, Eco, Slippery Roads, and Tow/Haul. Tremor-equipped trucks add Rock Crawl and Trail Control modes for off-pavement work.
The diesel premium runs roughly $10,000 to $11,000 over standard gas. For F-350 buyers, the diesel decision often follows the SRW/DRW decision: DRW buyers towing heavy regularly almost always end up at the HO Power Stroke. SRW buyers in F-250-step-up territory often stay with gas unless they tow over 15,000 lbs more than occasionally.
Cab, Bed, and Drivetrain Configurations
The F-350 is offered in three cab styles, two bed lengths, rear-wheel drive (4x2) or four-wheel drive (4x4), and Single Rear Wheel (SRW) or Dual Rear Wheel (DRW). Some cab and SRW/DRW combinations are not available. DRW SuperCab and DRW Crew Cab 6.75' are not offered.
| Cab Style | Wheelbase | Bed Length | SRW or DRW |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regular Cab | 141.5" | 8' | SRW or DRW |
| SuperCab | 148.0" | 6.75' | SRW only |
| SuperCab | 164.1" | 8' | SRW or DRW |
| Crew Cab | 159.7" | 6.75' | SRW only |
| Crew Cab | 175.9" | 8' | SRW or DRW |
Regular Cab seats 3. SuperCab and Crew Cab both seat 6. The interior dimension difference between SuperCab and Crew Cab is rear legroom: SuperCab offers 33.5 inches; Crew Cab offers 43.6 inches. DRW configurations add 16 inches of overall width and LED Roof Marker/Clearance Lamps.
Fuel tank capacity scales with wheelbase and engine. The 29-gallon tank is standard on shorter wheelbases with diesel. The 34-gallon tank is standard on most other diesel and gas configurations. The 48-gallon tank is available on the 175.9" Crew Cab wheelbase for buyers running long routes between fill-ups. Electronic-Shift-On-the-Fly (ESOF) is standard on 4x4 configurations.
Tow and Payload Capability
The F-350 capability range is wider than F-250's because of the DRW configurations. Maximum towing reaches 27,400 lbs conventional in F-350 SRW and 35,000 lbs conventional in F-350 DRW. Maximum payload reaches 8,000 lbs in F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2 with the gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package.

F-350 Maximum Payload
| Configuration | Engine | Max Payload | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| F-350 SRW Regular Cab 4x4 | 6.8L Gas | ~4,137 lbs | Standard configuration |
| F-350 SRW Regular Cab 4x2 | 7.3L Gas | ~4,200 lbs | Standard configuration |
| F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2 | 6.8L Gas with HD Payload Package | 8,000 lbs | Lineup-best F-350 payload |
| F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x4 | 6.8L Gas | ~6,200 lbs | Standard DRW configuration |
The 8,000-lb max payload requires the gas engine, Regular Cab, 4x2, dual rear wheel, and the Heavy-Duty Payload Package. Real-world payload depends on the full configuration, including installed packages and accessories. The door-jamb label is the authoritative reference for any specific build.
The Tremor Off-Road Package
The Tremor Off-Road Package is available on F-350 XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. XL gets the XL Off-Road Package and FX4 Off-Road Package instead.
- 35-inch off-road tires (LT285/75R18 BSW A/T)
- 18-inch low-gloss black painted aluminum wheels
- Off-Road Running Boards in textured matte finish
- Skid plates on 4x4 configurations
- Rock Crawl and Trail Control drive modes
- Tremor box-side decals and distinct Tremor exterior styling
On F-350 SRW specifically, Tremor combined with the HO Power Stroke and the right tire and Heavy-Duty Payload Package combination unlocks the 27,400-lb max conventional tow figure. Tremor is for F-350 buyers who need off-pavement capability beyond what 4x4 alone provides, including work-site terrain, snow-country routes, and Macomb County's outer ag areas.

Capability & Technology Features
F-350 Super Duty capability and technology cluster in three areas: trailer assistance, driver-assist and safety, and cabin technology.
Trailer Assistance: Pro Trailer Hitch Assist auto-steers the truck to a trailer ball, accelerating and braking to align without the driver hopping in and out. Pro Trailer Backup Assist lets the driver rotate a knob in the direction the trailer should go, and the truck handles the steering. Trailer Reverse Guidance overlays guide lines on the rear-view camera. Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch reads payload and tongue weight. F-350-specific: the 5th Wheel Hitch Kit 32,500 lbs DRW is offered on DRW configurations.
Driver-Assist & Safety: Ford Co-Pilot360 standard equipment varies by trim. Lariat unlocks the Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 step-up with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Speed Sign Recognition, Lane Centering, Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Post-Collision Braking, Front Sensing System, Reverse Sensing System, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Intersection Assist. The 360-Degree Camera Package is standard from Lariat up.
Cabin Technology: SYNC 4 with an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen is standard on XL and XLT. The 12-inch SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition becomes available on XLT and is standard from Lariat up. Wireless Charging Pad is standard from Lariat up. Head-up Display is standard on King Ranch and Platinum. Audio scales from AM/FM standard on XL/XLT to B&O and B&O Unleashed systems on higher trims.
Ford Driving TechnologyPricing
The 2026 F-350 Super Duty lineup opens in the high-$40Ks for the XL Regular Cab base. XLT runs in the low-$50Ks. Lariat sits in the low-to-mid-$60Ks. King Ranch and Platinum cluster in the high-$70Ks. Loaded F-350 DRW Platinum Plus or Lariat Ultimate configurations with the 6.7L HO Power Stroke and the 4.10 axle ratio can reach the high-$80Ks to mid-$90Ks.
Pricing depends primarily on SRW vs DRW, trim, engine choice, cab style, bed length, drivetrain, and installed packages. DRW configurations carry their own price uplift over SRW within the same trim and engine combination. Destination charge applies on top of base MSRP. Lease and finance Specials are updated monthly at Dorian Ford.
Section 179 is the federal tax provision that allows qualifying business buyers to deduct part or all of an F-350 purchase in the year the vehicle is placed in service rather than depreciating the cost over several years. Heavy-duty pickups like the F-350 Super Duty typically qualify under Section 179 for buyers using the truck more than 50% for business purposes.
How to Choose Your F-350 Super Duty
The F-350 buying decision happens in roughly this order: SRW or DRW ? trim ? engine ? configuration ? financing ? custom order. The SRW vs DRW choice frames everything else.
Decide SRW or DRW first. SRW is for buyers stepping up from F-250 who want chassis margin without commercial-grade footprint. DRW is for buyers whose load weight, trailer rating, or upfit weight crosses into territory the F-250 and F-350 SRW cannot reach.
Pick the trim second. XL or XLT fits work-truck duty across SRW or DRW. Lariat fits a luxury daily driver that still tows heavy. King Ranch or Platinum brings full luxury with the same heavy-duty capability underneath.
Pick the engine third. For F-350 DRW buyers towing heavy regularly, the 6.7L Power Stroke or HO Power Stroke is almost always the answer. For F-350 SRW retail buyers towing under 18,000 lbs, the 7.3L gas or 6.8L gas handles most work.
Pre-approval at Dorian Ford runs on a soft credit pull, which does not affect your credit score. Seeing the financing structure ahead of the configuration decision matters more on F-350 than on F-250 because the SRW-vs-DRW price gap and the diesel-vs-gas price gap together can shift the budget by $20,000 or more.
Whether to buy, finance, or lease an F-350 Super Duty depends on mileage assumptions, business tax structure, and how long the truck stays in the operation. The Buying vs. Leasing guide covers the trade-offs. Ford Protect Extended Service Plans are offered for buyers planning to keep the truck past the standard warranty.
The F-350 Super Duty buyer is rarely deciding whether to buy a heavy-duty pickup. They are deciding what kind. Single rear wheel is for the buyer who wants F-350 capability without commercial-grade footprint. Dual rear wheel is for the buyer whose load weight or trailer rating crosses into territory the F-250 and F-350 SRW cannot reach. Dorian Ford handles the build, the order, the financing, and the service that follows for buyers across Macomb County, Metro Detroit, and the rest of Southeast Michigan.
What Else Should I Know About the 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty?
The questions below cover the comparisons and decisions F-350 Super Duty buyers raise most often.
Single Rear Wheel (SRW) configurations have one tire on each side of the rear axle and run an 80-inch overall width. Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) configurations have two tires on each side of the rear axle, run a 96-inch overall width, and require LED Roof Marker/Clearance Lamps. SRW is easier to maneuver and park; DRW carries more weight and adds stability under heavy loads.
Maximum F-350 payload reaches 8,000 lbs in F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2 with the gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package. That requires the gas engine, Regular Cab body, 4x2 drivetrain, dual rear wheel chassis, and the Heavy-Duty Payload Package specifically. The door-jamb label confirms carrying capacity for any specific build.
Maximum F-350 conventional towing reaches 35,000 lbs on F-350 DRW with the 6.7L Power Stroke or HO Power Stroke V8 turbo-diesel and the 4.1 axle ratio. F-350 SRW max conventional tow reaches 27,400 lbs with the HO Power Stroke, Heavy Duty Payload Package, and the right tire combination.
F-250 and F-350 Super Duty share the cab, engines, trim ladder, and most technology. F-250 is single-rear-wheel only. F-350 is offered in SRW or DRW configurations and carries higher GVWR and GCWR ratings. F-350 max payload reaches 8,000 lbs versus F-250's 4,246-lb maximum.
F-350 and F-450 Super Duty both run the same cab and engines, but F-450 is dually-only across retail pickup configurations and pairs the 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo-diesel as standard equipment across all trims. F-450 max gooseneck towing reaches 40,000 lbs with the High-Capacity Gooseneck Tow Package.
The 6.8L V8 gas or 7.3L V8 gas handles daily duty and most retail and contractor towing under 18,000 to 20,000 lbs. The 6.7L Power Stroke and 6.7L HO Power Stroke are the answer when towing heavy regularly, running long routes, or working at sustained high loads. For F-350 DRW buyers, the diesel decision is almost a default for maximum tow capability.
The F-350 Gas Heavy-Duty Payload Package is available on the F-350 XL DRW Regular Cab configuration with a gas engine. It increases the F-350's payload capacity to the lineup-best 8,000 lbs through chassis component upgrades, suspension modifications, and rear-axle reinforcement. Specific package contents are confirmed at the order step.
Yes. F-350 SRW with the 6.7L HO Power Stroke and 5th Wheel Hitch Kit handles most retail 5th-wheel RVs. F-350 DRW with the 5th Wheel Hitch Kit 32,500 lbs DRW handles larger commercial 5th-wheel trailers and heavy retail RVs. Gooseneck towing with the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck Hitch Prep Package supports gooseneck loads up to 35,000 lbs on F-350 DRW with the right axle ratio and engine.
Heavy-duty pickups like the F-350 Super Duty typically qualify under Section 179 for business buyers using the truck more than 50% for business purposes. The deduction allows part or all of the F-350 purchase price to be deducted in the year the truck is placed in service. Specific eligibility is settled at the buying step with the buyer's tax structure in mind.
The 2026 F-350 Super Duty is covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile gas powertrain warranty, a 5-year/100,000-mile diesel powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile safety restraint system warranty, a 5-year/unlimited-mile corrosion perforation warranty, and a 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance program. Specific warranty terms are confirmed through Dorian Ford at the time of purchase.
