The upcoming 2023 Ford F-350 is a remarkable and robust truck that will receive some upgrades next year. Anyone that’s seeking for a seriously capable work truck should not look further than the F-350. This model has more benefits than any other truck in its class. It has great hauling and towing talents, modern cabin, and it borrows many cues from one of the best-selling vehicles in the United States, the F-150 half-ton pickup.
Big trucks need big engines, and the 2023 model doesn’t disappoint at all. It’s powered by three different engines including 6.2-liter V8, 7.3-liter V8, or with a class leading 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel V8 that has a stunning 1,050 lb.-ft of torque.
2023 Ford F-350 Redesign
The 2023 Ford F-350 is a big and robust truck that is designed for hard work. It features a very massive front fascia that’s a trade mark of this model. The base XL as the entry-level model comes with 17-inch steel wheels as standard, while bigger 18-inch alloy wheels are available with XLT trim. In addition, going for an upper trim level, the wheels become bigger.
The F-350 is a model that can be held with a dual rear wheel arrangement. Bed lengths are 6.75 feet and eight feet, according to the Blue Oval. The sport Appearance package is new this year and is available only with Lariat trim. This package adds more chrome on the grille, side mirror housings, and bumpers in the same color as the body.
Interior and Trim Equipment
The new 2023 Ford F-350 is available in Regular, Super, and Crew. Generally speaking, all models are roomy, modern and comfortable. Like the F-150 half-ton truck, the new F-350 has many amenities inside. There are plenty of storages inside, and the center console is huge. The Crew Cab is the roomiest model that has a lockable compartment under the rear seats. The XL model as an entry-level trim that comes with single-zone air conditioning, Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices, AM/FM radio, MP3 player, remote start/lock/unlock, vinyl flooring and upholstery, trailer sway control, trailer tow package with 7-pin/4-pin connector, trailer hitch receiver, cargo bed lighting, and a removable tailgate.
The letter above is a XLT that brings a little more for invested money. However, Lariat trim is one of the most favorite because it includes leather seating surfaces, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the updated infotainment system.
From information that’s available, Blue Oval will introduce some new interior color scheme for the top Limited trim. Reportedly, Ford will add a Navy Pier/Light Slate combination.
Safety Features
More safety features will be offered this time. According to the manufacturer, the forthcoming Ford F-350 will include automatic on/off headlights, hill start assists, and an SOS post-crash alert system.

The new 2023 Ford F-350 is a truck that’s available with three engine options. The standard unit is a mighty 6.2-liter V8, capable of making 385 horsepower and 430 lb.-ft of torque. This engine is connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The next one is a gargantuan gasoline 7.3-liter V8 unit generating 430 horsepower and 475 lb.-ft of torque. As you can see, this one is more powerful than the first option. Ford also offers an optional Power Stroke turbocharged 6.7-liter diesel V8 that produces 450 horsepower and a stunning 1,050 lb.-ft of torque. Both of these engines are connected to a new 10-speed automatic transmission.
As before, the lower trims will only be available with rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is optional. However, going for the models like King Ranch and Platinum, you’ll get all-wheel drive as standard. At this point, we don’t have any fuel economy numbers, but we can expect in the coming months for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to rate this truck.
