The 2026 Super Duty might not be a full-blown overhaul, but there are some meaningful changes coming down the line, from a growing production footprint to smarter tech and subtle drivetrain updates. Whether you rely on your truck for towing, jobsite duties, or just like having a powerhouse parked out front, it’s shaping up to be a year worth watching. Are you ready to hear about the new features of the 2026 Ford Super Duty?
Key Takeaways
- Every '26 Super Duty now comes with TPMS, no matter the trim or configuration.
- Trims now start with rear-wheel drive instead of 4WD.
- Ford’s Canadian Oakville plant joins U.S. factories to help build more Super Dutys.
Production Grows in 2026 with a Full Redesign Still to Come
Ford is ramping things up in a big way for 2026. The Oakville Assembly Complex in Canada is stepping into Super Duty production alongside the Kentucky Truck and Ohio Assembly plants. This extra muscle on the manufacturing side should help meet the demand that never seems to slow down.
The timeline? A refresh rolls out for 2026; Ford has announced the next full redesign for 2028.
Finally, a TPMS for Every Super Duty
Tire pressure monitoring now features in every 2026 Super Duty trim. Whether you’re choosing an F-250, F-350, or F-450, single rear wheel or dual, you’ll now get TPMS by default.
In 2025, only some F-350 models included it. Now it’s standard equipment across the board, which means no guesswork, fewer add-ons, and one less thing to worry about.
Here’s a curveball: both the XLT and Lariat trims now come standard with rear-wheel drive instead of four-wheel drive. You can still upgrade to four-wheel drive, but it’s no longer the automatic default on these versions.
That’s a bit of a shift, considering Ford had been trending toward simplifying its ICE models with more built-in four-wheel drive options.
Additional Super Duty Tweaks for 2026
Ford freshened up the paint palette this year. A couple of colors are getting dropped, but they’re being replaced by three new ones: Argon Blue Metallic, Marsh Gray, and the return of Iconic Silver Metallic (though it is exclusive to fleet buyers).
Some popular packages are getting broader availability, too. The STX Appearance Package and the Tremor Off-Road Package are coming to more trims, though the Tremor setup won’t be available immediately at launch, but it’ll roll out later in the model year.
Also in the mix is an optional jump-start box. While Ford hasn’t confirmed its pricing, the NOCO unit likely to be used retails for $199.95. It delivers 2,000 amps, works on gas engines up to 8.0L and diesels up to 6.0L, and includes safety features like spark protection and polarity detection.
