2023 Ford F-450 Specifications
The 2023 Ford F-450 is in a class of its own. It transforms America’s best-selling truck into a road warrior capable of getting any job done without breaking a sweat. It also embodies Henry Ford’s vision to put the world on wheels, doing so with the grit, growl, and determination you’d expect of a truck that bears the Ford name and the “Built Ford Tough” pledge.
The Super Duty truck targets best-in-class performance for 2023, promising to tackle every job and demand and earning its title as the most capable road warrior in the segment. Its two-engine lineup features Ford’s renowned Power Strokes that deliver up to 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque for exceptional performance in the most arduous conditions. These powerplants never miss a beat and give the F-450 its best-in-class towing capacity of 40,000 pounds.
With the capacity to tow everything from horse trailers and campers to boats and other heavy equipment, the Super Duty can handle it all. But Ford doesn’t stop there and outfits the F-450 with innovative technology and conveniences that make your job easier in the driver’s seat by keeping you safe, informed, and connected. You’ll find this in features like the F-450’s 5G capability, making it the first American pickup truck embedded with this technology. As a result, the Super Duty’s operating system is faster and delivers over-the-air software updates and real-time traffic routes based on navigational needs.
How else does the F-450 lead the segment? Newly redesigned for 2023, the F-Series Super Duty is America’s hardest-working truck. It’s smarter, more powerful, and engineered as the perfect work partner for Americans across the country.

Performance
This Super Duty Truck Is Packed With Power
The 2023 F-450 is built to get the job done, and that starts with its heartbeat. Building a country requires brute strength, whether hauling steel beams and lumber or towing heavy equipment around your ranch or from one job site to another. Fortunately, the newly redesigned F-450 delivers.
Ford outfits the 2023 F-450 with its proven 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine and a ten-speed automatic transmission. The transmission delivers smooth gear changes as the engine churns out 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque for incredible low-end power and responsiveness at any speed. As a Power Stroke, the engine gives the F-450 the power needed, but it also does everything possible to keep it on the road with a unique design that allows it to go longer between oil changes. As a result, the F-450 spends more time on the road, helping you get the job done.
For sheer capability and unmatched power, look no further than the F-450 with Ford’s all-new high-output 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel engine under the hood. The engine targets best-in-class horsepower and torque, boasting a new turbo, unique tuning, and upgraded exhaust manifolds. The upgrades prove worthwhile, with the high-output powerplant delivering 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque as it works with Ford’s ten-speed TorqShift automatic transmission.
All That Power Means Solid Capabilities
The F-450’s brute strength gives you the confidence and capability to tackle any job, demand, or task. Moreover, it means the F-450 offers the best towing capacities in the industry. For example, the F-450 Regular Cab with the 6.7L high-output Power Stroke and Ford’s Max Tow Package can haul a best-in-class 40,000 pounds with a gooseneck trailer. The F-450 Crew Cab with the same high-output diesel powerplant can tow up to 30,000 pounds with a conventional trailer.
Technology
Making Your Trailering Job Easier
When you drive a truck like the F-450, you’re expected to carry heavy loads. Why else would you need a workhorse like the Super Duty? Ford recognizes as much and outfits the 2023 F-450 with an expansive suite of trailering technology that gives you the confidence to tow any sized load with minimal stress or inconvenience.
Hitching up to a trailer is a hassle for many drivers, regardless of skill level. It’s easier with a spotter to help you align the truck’s hitch with the trailer, but this isn’t always possible. Ford’s Pro Trailer Hitch Assist accounts for this and automatically backs the truck up, aligning the hitch ball with the receiver for an easy connection. The F-450’s industry-first Tailgate Down Camera and Tailgate Down Reverse Sensing System also contribute to the process and rely on a camera and sensors at the top of the tailgate to provide visual and audible alerts when the tailgate is down and the truck is in reverse.
Once hitched, you can use the F-450’s Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch. Every truck has its trailering and towing limits, but it’s often guesswork to determine if your trailer or load is within the truck’s parameters. Ford’s Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch tool eliminates any guessing by estimating the cargo weight in real time. It presents this data in a clear display within the taillamps, on the center touchscreen, or via the FordPass app. It also offers guidance on evenly distributing the weight on the trailer tongue.
Ford’s trailering technology does wonders for hitching up to a trailer, but additional features help you navigate the road confidently with a trailer in tow. For example, the 360-Degree Trailer Camera System gives you a bird’s-eye view of the rig to eliminate blind spots. Ford’s Blind Spot Information System for Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck trailers is also helpful because it extends blind spot monitoring around the trailer. Likewise, Trailer Navigation can help ensure your trailer can tackle the terrain ahead by using the trailer’s dimensions and weight to plot the most accessible routes.
Convenience
Make Your Truck Match Your Style
The 2023 F-450 is a workhorse, but it doesn’t require sacrificing style, comfort, convenience, or premium features for capability or sheer strength. Instead, Ford proves you can have it all. For example, you can make a statement with the F-450 by opting for the STX, Black, and Sport Appearance Packages or ready it for the trail with the Tremor Off-road Package. The STX Package adds style to the Super Duty with 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, and exclusive badging. The Black Appearance Package puts the truck in stealth mode with black finishes throughout the cabin, while the Sport Appearance Package shows the F-450’s athleticism with its dark-painted grille, rugged wheels, and platform running boards.
Integrated Infotainment
With plenty of options to customize the F-450 to your style needs, you’ll also enjoy a host of premium design details and conveniences. The Super Duty has a standard eight-inch display, while top-tier trims have an expansive 12-inch display. In addition, the 12-inch digital instrument cluster is customizable and provides insights into the F-450’s performance. The F-450’s embedded 5G capability is integral to these displays, providing faster over-the-air software updates and real-time data to enhance your driving experience.
As expected, Ford makes navigating the road and staying connected easy. The truck offers smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. You also have access to Alexa Built-In, which gives you a hands-free experience to maximize your focus without compromising your ability to make calls, send messages, schedule appointments, or navigate the fastest route. Functional features like the center console slot and Max Recline Seats complement this technology, with the center console capable of holding a tablet upright and the seats allowing you to kick back and relax wherever you are.
Other Helpful Tech
The F-450’s Pro Power Onboard offers a different type of convenience because it transforms the truck into a mobile generator. The technology gives you the most exportable power in any heavy-duty truck or chassis at 2.0 kilowatts. With the power outlets accessible from inside the cabin and bed, you can use Pro Power Onboard to run small equipment at a job site, a big-screen television at your tailgate party, or other necessities to make your job easier and life more enjoyable.
