Here’s a first look at the ’23 Ford Super Duty Lariat with its front end completely exposed.
The Super Duty has the telltale signs of a Lariat including body color mirror caps, fog lights, Lariat spec rims and running boards. The exposed front end shows off a completely revised design which includes a new hood, fenders, grille, lower front clip and headlights that are incorporated into the grille design. Ford also carries over the C-clamp corporate look, although this time it encompasses an LED running light design. Around back the changes appear to be minimal, with the addition of revised LED tail lamps.
Inside, the Super Duty will gain a sleek new 12-in. touchscreen mounted horizontally which is currently found in the F-150.
Power is still expected to come from a three-engine portfolio: 6.2L V8, 7.3L V8 and the 6.7L V8 Turbo Diesel. All engine options are expected to be mated to the TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission. We’re also told that there should be a slight bump in power when it comes to the 6.7L Turbo Diesel.
Production of the Ford Super Duty will continue at the Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville, Kentucky. Expect an official debut sometime this fall.
