The Ford Super Duty has stood tall in the pickup pantheon for decades. A powerful companion at work and on the trail, this heavy duty truck remains a consumer favorite. Let’s take a look at its most recent model years to see how they compare!
Key Takeaways:

- The Limited trim was discontinued from the 2025 lineup. It’s been replaced by the Platinum Plus package on the Platinum trim.
- The Super Duty’s Max Recline seats fold almost flat so you can get some shut eye during your work day.
