The 2026 Ford F-350 is the middle child of the F-Series Super Duty pickup family. Its towing and hauling capabilities are superior to those of the F-250 but not the F-450. It's available in single and dual rear-wheel configurations and as a chassis cab ready for job-specific upfitting, but it offers several clever innovations to make even big jobs easier. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, for example, automatically backs the truck up to a trailer and positions the hitch ball under the receiver at the push of a button. There's also Ford's Onboard Scales feature. It uses sensors to measure suspension squat to estimate the weight in the bed as users load the truck, displaying the approximate payload on the infotainment screen and on the FordPass app.
While the F-350 can be luxurious — particularly in the King Ranch and Platinum trim levels — job one for these trucks is work. In certain configurations, the F-350 can tow up to 28,000 pounds with a conventional bumper-mounted hitch or an outlandish 38,000 pounds with a gooseneck trailer hitch. That's enough to pull the heaviest and biggest of loads, whether it be a recreational camper trailer or a trailer loaded with jobsite construction equipment.
Competitors to consider
The heavy-duty truck segment is the exclusive domain of domestic brands, with the Ram 3500 and the related Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 3500 the only alternatives to the F-350. The Ram's nicest interior tops the Ford's for sumptuousness, but no competitor can beat the F-350's towing and hauling capabilities.
2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty trim level differences
The 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty comes in five trim levels: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. There are three cab choices — regular cab (two-door), SuperCab (an extended cab with short rear-hinged back doors that can only be opened after the fronts are opened), and crew cab. Crew-cab buyers have a choice of a 6.75-foot or an 8-foot cargo bed; the regular and SuperCab trucks are only available with the long box. Compare the 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty trim levels in-depth.
Which F-350 Super Duty trim does Edmunds recommend?
Picking an F-350 largely comes down to what you want out of your heavy-duty truck. But we think many owners will be satisfied with the Lariat. It's nicely equipped with features such as heated and ventilated front seats, a Bang & Olufsen audio system and synthetic leather upholstery, and it's still reasonably priced.
The reviews for the 2026 Ford F-350 Super Duty are mixed. Many owners love the truck's power, spaciousness, and features like comfy seats and advanced technology, making it great for both work and family trips. However, some owners have had issues with things like the air conditioning, paint quality, and electrical problems, which have been frustrating and led to multiple visits to the dealer. Overall, while many owners are happy with their truck, some have faced ongoing problems that sour their experience.

Trailer lights or brakes that do not function can reduce the driver’s ability to control the trailer and decrease the trailers visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.
