Heading: Introduction
The 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty is a truck that fully embraces the idea of working smarter, not harder. With class-leading technology, this pickup truck is designed to make life easier for its most-focused customers. One of the standout features of the Super Duty is its all-new head-up display (HUD) inspired by fighter jets. This article will explore the various features of the Super Duty, including its HUD, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist system, onboard scales, and fleet management tools.
Heading: The All-New Head-Up Display
While HUDs are nothing new, Ford has taken inspiration from aircraft HUD concepts to create an intuitive digital experience for its most-focused truck customers. The Super Duty’s HUD has three different displays that show information related to what you’re doing. In Normal mode, the HUD shows your current speed, navigation information, and the speed limit. In Tow-Haul mode, it displays a tachometer and trailer brake information. Finally, in Off-Road mode, it shows a tach, pitch and roll information, and driveline status.
Heading: Pro Trailer Hitch Assist System
The Pro Trailer Hitch Assist system is one of the standout features of the Super Duty. It makes connecting trailers virtually foolproof as the system does all the work. Using a camera and radar sensors, the system locates trailers and aligns the truck’s hitch with their coupler. This is all done automatically as the system controls the truck’s speed, steering, and braking. This eliminates the need for a spotter as you simply let the truck do its thing and then connect the trailer once everything is aligned.
Heading: Onboard Scales and Trail Turn Assist
The Super Duty offers a range of other features designed to make life easier for its customers. The Tailgate Down Camera and Tailgate Down Reverse Sensing System help with parking and reversing when the tailgate is down. Onboard scales provide real-time payload estimates to help ensure you don’t overload your pickup. The model also sports Trail Turn Assist and Pro Trailer Navigation, which factors in the size of your trailer to give you directions that avoid obstacles such as low bridges and tight turns.
Heading: Fleet Management Tools
Ford didn’t forget about businesses when designing the Super Duty. The truck comes with fleet management tools aided by telematics. The Super Duty also benefits from the Ford Pro Upfit Integration System, which gives aftermarket companies greater access to the truck’s electrical system and software. This allows for ‘digital buttons’ on the infotainment system as well as new safety features. For example, companies could have an interlock preventing the truck from shifting out of park if something like a bucket is raised.
Heading: Engine Options
The 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty is available with an assortment of engines, including an all-new 6.8-liter V8 producing 405 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. Customers can also opt for an upgraded 7.3-liter Godzilla V8, which develops 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque. On the diesel side, there’s a familiar 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 producing 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. It’s joined by an all-new high-output variant with a best-in-class output of 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
