The 2026 Ford F-350 is a heavy-duty one-ton pickup in Ford's Super Duty lineup, offered in regular cab, SuperCab, or crew cab body styles with single rear wheel or dual rear wheel configurations and bed lengths from 6.75 to 8 feet. It competes directly with the Ram 3500, Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, and GMC Sierra 3500HD. Introduced with a full redesign for 2023, the 2026 model includes a mid-cycle refresh featuring a revised front grille, new STX Dually and Tremor packages, and adjustments to towing and payload capacities. The standard powertrain consists of a naturally aspirated 6.8-liter V8 gas engine producing 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission and available in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.
The F-350 comes standard with Ford's SYNC 4 infotainment system on an 8-inch capacitive touchscreen, expandable to 12 inches on higher trims. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, embedded navigation, SiriusXM with 360L, and voice commands for phone, media, and climate control. A built-in 5G modem provides a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 10 devices. Updates for 2026 include the Ford Connectivity Package, available via one-time purchase for seven years of in-vehicle Wi-Fi, connected navigation with real-time traffic, and streaming services such as Spotify. Additional changes encompass standard three-year SiriusXM trials on additional trims and enhanced driver-assistance features. The FordPass app allows remote engine start, door locking, diagnostics checks, vehicle location, service scheduling, over-the-air software updates for infotainment and powertrain, and subscription options for advanced connected services.
