For most drivers, a full-size or midsize pickup truck is sufficient for their needs. They don't need to tow or haul massive trailers and cargo loads for work and don't require a vehicle with the power to tow a large boat or trailer when going on vacation. However, if you are one of those people who need the capabilities that only a heavy-duty truck can provide, then you should consider making your next truck a 2022 Ford F-350. This Super Duty model has the strength, power, and ruggedness to get the toughest job done.
Ford designed the F-350 to provide commercial and family drivers with a truck that has the maximum capability in its vehicle class. With an MSRP of $36,715, the 2022 Ford F-350 is also surprisingly affordable. As a result, most drivers looking for a heavy-duty truck will be able to get behind the wheel of one of the 6 different available trims. In addition to these 6 trims, Ford gives you the choice of four-wheel drive for exceptional traction and rear-wheel drive for improved towing and hauling capabilities. Whichever model and drivetrain you choose, you are going to get a Super Duty truck that is built to handle the toughest jobs and heaviest payloads.

Ford offers drivers the choice of three different engines on the 2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty truck. The standard engine is a 6.2-liter V8 gas engine. Nicknamed the "Boss," this powerful engine features 16 valves for its 89 cylinders in a single overhead camshaft valvetrain (SOHC). This cast iron block engine has aluminum heads and utilizes sequential multi-port electronic fuel injection to provide 385 hp at 5,750 rpm and 430 lb-ft of torque at 3,800 rpm.
The first of two optional engines on the 2022 F-350 is a 7.3-liter V8 gas engine that has earned the name "Godzilla." This engine features variable cam timing to improve high-output power. The cast iron engine block has a forged steel crankshaft, aluminum cylinder heads, and four-bolt and cross-bolted main bearings. This is the largest and most powerful conventional gas engine offered on a heavy-duty truck and will deliver 430 hp at 5,500 rpm and 475 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm using sequential multiport electronic fuel injection.
The second available engine is a 6.7-liter Power Stroke Turbo-Diesel engine. This engine uses a high-pressure common rail fuel injection that delivers the diesel fuel at 36,000-psi. The engine block is constructed of compacted graphite iron with aluminum cylinder heads. There is a single turbocharger to boost performance, which is air-cooled, and as a result, it can provide up to 475 hp at 2,600 rpm and 1,050 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm. This ability to deliver high performance at low rpms is typical of diesel engines.
Each 2022 F-350 pairs its engine with a Torqshift 10-speed automatic transmission. This provides you with five selectable modes: normal, slippery, tow-haul, eco, and deep sand/snow. This allows you to adjust the transmission to better deliver the horsepower and torque to the drive axles you need based on driving conditions. Ford has designed this transmission to improve performance on the F-350, giving you better efficiency and control.
The 2022 Ford F-350 has surprisingly good acceleration for a truck of its size. For example, if you choose to equip your F-350 with the 7.3-liter Godzilla V8, you can go from 0 to 60 mph in a surprisingly brisk 7.5 seconds, with a top speed of 95 mph.
All models of the F-350 utilize heavy-duty gas shock absorbers and a solid axle rear suspension with leaf springs. If you choose a rear-wheel drivetrain, you will get an independent twin I-beam front suspension with coil springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer. This will provide you with the smooth ride and stability you need, especially when towing and hauling heavy loads. Four-wheel drive models of the 2022 F-350 provide a mono tube front suspension with coil springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar. This gives you exceptional traction, especially in inclement weather and off-road conditions.
When it comes to towing in the Ford F-350, your maximum capacity will depend on the engine and drivetrain you choose and the cab style you opt for on your truck. Each of these will have an impact on towing. Choosing a Regular Cab on your F-350 will give you the most towing capability, followed by the SuperCab and Crew Cab. In addition, a rear-wheel drive model allows you to tow a heavier trailer than a 4X4 drivetrain. Finally, the 6.7-liter Power Stroke Turbo-Diesel will boost your trailer rating over the 7.3-liter V8 and the 6.2-liter V8.
If you choose a rear-wheel drive 2022 F-350 with a Regular Cab and the Power Stroke Turbo-Diesel, you should be able to tow up to a monstrous 35,750 lbs. Choosing the 7.3-liter V8 on the same truck reduces this to a very impressive 21,200 lbs. The base model 6.2-liter V8 on this truck provides up to 16,700 lbs of towing capability.
If you need the extra passenger space provided by the SuperCab and Crew Cab models of the 2022 Ford F-350, you will still get exceptional towing capability. For example, the rear-wheel drive F-350 with the SuperCab and the Power Stroke Turbo-Diesel can tow up to 35,400 lbs, while choosing a Super Crew, which has the most passenger space of the three, will still give you the ability to tow up to 35,200 lbs.
Ford offers two different-sized payload boxes on the 2022 F-350. One measures 8 feet in length and can hold up to 78.5 cu.ft. of cargo. The other measures 6.75 feet and provides up to 65.4 cu.ft. of cargo space. You can choose which one you prefer on the Super Cab and Crew Cab models of the F-350, while the Regular Cab F-350 comes equipped with an 8-foot Long Box payload bed.
If you choose an F-350 with a Regular Cab, you can carry up to 7,850 lbs of cargo, depending on your choice of drivetrain. The Super Cab with a Long Box can carry up to 7,190 lbs of cargo, while the same cab with a Short Box tops out at 4,610 lbs. If you choose a Crew Cab on your F-350, you can carry up to 6,960 in a Long Box and 4,460 in a Short Box.
When it came to heavy-duty trucks, interior space and convenience features used to be an afterthought for many automakers. These brands believed most folks were buying these heavy-duty trucks primarily for commercial purposes, so there was no sense in using space or money on keeping drivers and their passengers comfortable. However, with the newfound popularity of pickup trucks, automakers like Ford have noticed that many folks are buying Super Duty trucks like the 2022 Ford F-350 as a family vehicle.
As a result, interior space has become of greater importance. This is why you see Ford offering luxury trim levels like the Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited on the 2022 F-350. These provide advanced Ford SYNC infotainment systems, premium audio systems, and comfortable leather seats for passengers who have the pleasure of riding in one of these comfort-focused Super Duty trucks.
The interior space on the 2022 F-350 depends greatly on your choice of cab style. The Regular Cab has two full-size doors and one row of seats, providing space for up to 3 passengers. The space apportioned here is identical to the first row of seats on the two-row Super Cab and Crew Cab models. As a result, front-row passengers in any of these three cabs will get 40.8-inches of headroom, 43.9-inches of legroom, 66.7-inches of shoulder room, and 62.5-inches of hip room. This is how you can comfortably seat up to 3 adults in the first row of seats on the 2022 Ford F-350.
The Super Cab and Crew Cab models of the 2022 Ford F-350 provide room for additional passengers. In fact, each model can carry up to 6 passengers comfortably. The key difference is more space in the rear row of seats on Crew Cab models. You can actually spot this by the fact that the Crew Cab has four full-size doors, while the Super Cab models have two half-sized pocket doors in the rear. Whichever model you choose, your rear row passengers will enjoy 64.7-inches of hip room.
However, the Crew Cab provides slightly more headroom and shoulder room than the Super Cab. Crew Cab passengers get 40.4-inches of headroom and 65.9-inches of shoulder room, while those in a Super Cab model of the F-350 receive 40.3-inches and 65.8-inches, respectively. The key difference is the legroom, with the F-350 Super Cab providing 43.6-inches of legroom compared to 33.5-inches on the Super Cab. As a result, the Super Crew model of the 2022 Ford F-350 might be the ideal choice if you are looking to use your Super Duty truck as a family vehicle.
