Three Different Super Duty Styles
The 2022 Ford Super Duty is available with many different combinations of options. The first choice you need to make is whether to get the F-250, F-350, or F-450 style. As you can imagine, each is a little more powerful than the one before it. Each has different engine options available for them, ranging from a 6.2-liter V-8 gas engine to a 6.7-liter V-8 turbo diesel engine. Typically, this choice is dependent on what you are planning on hauling. The towing capacity and payloads increase with each, but otherwise they are fairly similar in most ways.
Six Different Super Duty Trims
All three of the styles offer a choice between 6 different trims: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited.
XL
The XL is the baseline model. It may be the least expensive, but it still has a lot to offer. This includes a rear view camera and durable vinyl floor coverings. However, an 8-inch color touchscreen is only an optional add-on at this level.
XLT
Next in line is the XLT which does have that 8-inch color touchscreen with Sync 3 technology standard, as well as many other quality of life improvements. Many of the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver safety aid technologies are standard from here on, with the remaining available as optional add-ons if desired.
Lariat
The Lariat trim is the recommended choice from Car and Driver.It is still at a very affordable price point and comes standard with the 12.0-inch color touchscreen with Sync 4 technology and an 8-inch LCD productivity screen instrument panel. Many additional luxuries are also standard, such as a B & O 10 speaker sound system including subwoofer, a 90 trial of the connected navigation system, and leather trimmed seats.
King Ranch
King Ranch brings a bit more coolness factor with two-tone accent paint, LED box lighting, and illuminated accent-color running boards. The remote start system and wireless charging pad are also standard here, as are heated and ventilated front seats.
Platinum
If you’re looking for beauty, the Platinum trim is the way to go. A gorgeous dark marsala interior with ambient lighting, multi-contour and micro-perforated leather seats, and many upgraded features adorn the interior of this model. Meanwhile, a satin aluminum grille, power deployable running boards, and more make it eye-catching from the outside.
Limited
For the Limited trim, the standard (and only available) engine is a 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel. A power moonroof is standard on the crew cab at this level. All of the Ford Co-Pilot360 Technologies are standard, and the interior is made even nicer with the use of Miko suede seat material.
Other Options on the Ford Super Duty
When choosing a 2022 Ford Super Duty, you also need to be aware of some other options to consider. Are you looking for a Regular cab, SuperCab, or Crew cab for instance? Do you want the bed of the pickup to be 8 feet or 6-3/4 feet? You can also choose between single rear wheel (SRW) or dual rear wheel (DRW) options.
Several packages can be added to many trims to make them even more spectacular. The Tremor Off-Road Package, for example, can make your Super Duty even more ready for adventuring. Providing 35-inch maximum-traction tires and off-road tuned front and rear suspension, which includes custom 1.7-inch twin-tube dampers, you will be able to traverse more terrains than ever before with smooth sailing. In fact, the Tremor package also makes it possible to drive through water up to 33 inches deep.
For those who are all about the appearance, you should look at the option of the Black Appearance Package which gives a sleek and mysterious look to your Super Duty with black-painted aluminum wheels, ebony black grille, tinted windows, and more. Or maybe the Lariat Sport Appearance Package is more your style? It provides a sportier look with chrome exhaust tips, body-color front and rear bumpers, painted body-color grille, among other stylized looks.
Towing and Trailering
The Super Duty absolutely shines whenever it is hooked up to pull something. With all the varieties of cabs, cargo beds, options, and engines, there is a huge range in abilities for towing and payload capacities. All of them are incredible in their own rights and have been listed as top of their class for towing capabilities.
If you are going to be using your Super Duty for a lot of hauling, you can include the option for the Ultimate Trailer Tow Camera System with Pro Trailer Backup Assist. This amazing technology provides you with the ability to see all around your trailer with an expanded view from strategically placed cameras. You also have the Pro Trailer Backup Assist knob to give you even more control over backing up with a trailer with precision.
Technology on the 2022 Ford Super Duty
While the Super Duty may be designed for working hard and hauling anything you could imagine, it is also outfitted with plenty of smart features. On most of the trims you can have a 12.0-inch touchscreen with Sync 4 software, which includes the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to wirelessly connect to your smartphone.
