Ford renews its claim as the king of the heavy-hauler hill, releasing more details this week regarding the capabilities of the 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty. With a new high-output 1,200 pound-foot diesel engine and revisions to its gasoline options, the big pickup now boasts a class-leading 40,000-pound tow rating and up to 8,000 pounds of payload, depending on the configuration.

The Super Doots’ optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine returns for 2023 model year service with its 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb.-ft. of torque at the ready. However, it’s now joined by a new High Output variant that cranks the volume up to 500 hp and 1,200 lb.-ft. torque, good enough to claim a best-in-class performance node for Ford.

The 6.7-liter HO diesel powers Ford’s class-leading 40,000-pound maximum gooseneck tow rating for the F-450 Dual Rear-Wheel Regular Cab configuration with the Max Towing Package and the 30,000-pound conventional tow rating for the F-450 Crew Cab . It also brings home the best-in-subclass bacon for F-350/3500-segment gooseneck and conventional towing (38,000 and 28,000 pounds, respectively), as well as the F-250’s 23,000-pound gooseneck crown.

Big changes can also be found on the gasoline-powered side of the F-Series’ options sheet. The old 6.2-liter base V8 has been replaced by a new 6.8-liter block that makes an estimated 405 hp (20 ponies more than before) and 445 lb.-ft. of torque (a gain of 15 lb.-ft.) Meanwhile, the 7.3-liter overhead valve gas V8 gets a 10-lb.-ft. bump, now rated at 430
