Testing continues on the next Ford F-Series Super Duty. That includes the hot weather rating, and it’s not much hotter than Nevada in July. This is where this fleet of three camouflaged trucks was spotted, with two pulling trailers. A Motor1.com reader was quick with a camera, capturing excellent close-ups of each van in this exclusive look.
We believe there are a pair of Lariats and a single XL in this convoy. We know the Super Duty line will borrow cues from the F-150, especially up front with C-shaped lights framing a variety of grille styles depending on trim level. But these detailed images provide a better perspective of the size of the face. And his biiiig.
We’ll start with the XL, identified by its split black grille. Although it looks like all the trucks here have black grilles, this one is actually black from the factory instead of painted. The grille is similar to an earlier XLT sighting, but the low-steel steel wheels and black mirrors make us think this is a workhorse of the base model.
It doesn’t get much bigger than a crew-cab, double-box F-350. This truck’s grille looks like a Lariat model spied earlier, and even though it’s black, don’t be fooled. There’s chrome underneath, matching the chrome headlight trim. There’s also a very large air dam under the bumper, which feels a bit larger than the one offered on the current model. Dirt in the wheel arches and on the tri-axle trailer indicates off-road travel, and we see the same on the other Lariat, possibly an F-250.

Ford has done a good job of keeping prying eyes away from the interior. We expect more similarities to the current-gen F-150, including a larger touchscreen and digital driver display on higher-spec models. Under the skin, however, we expect more of the same – gasoline power from Ford’s proven 6.2-liter V8, the big 7.3-liter pushrod V8 and the turbocharged 6.7 Powerstroke diesel. liters.
We expect to see a full launch of the next Super Duty lineup later this year, either as a 2023 or 2024 model.
