Why choose the 2024 Ford Super Duty?
When you choose the Super Duty, you’ll enjoy much more than heavy-duty power. Thanks to its incredible powertrain selection, the Super Duty outclasses competitors with its outsized towing and hauling capabilities. Better still, shoppers can test-drive six trim models (the XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited), which range from very affordable to incredibly luxurious. Also, Ford’s Super Duty trucks offer features you won’t find on any other heavy-duty truck, including the Pro Power Onboard electrical generator and Pro Trailer Backup Assist system.
How powerful is the 2024 Ford Super Duty high-output 6.7L turbodiesel V8?
For best-in-class power, equip your Super Duty with the high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel engine, a V8 beast designed to amplify towing capabilities with 500 horses and 1,200 pound-feet of torque. Although tow ratings vary depending on your truck’s body style and equipment, this engine helps the Super Duty achieve best-in-class tow ratings of up to 40,000 pounds!
The Super Duty engine options include two gas-powered V8 engines engineered to optimize hauling capabilities, and two turbodiesel V8 engines designed to enhance towing performance. Although one type of engine helps your truck perform certain tasks better than the other, you can tow and haul incredible weight with either a gas- or diesel-powered Super Duty engine.
Choose from these heavy-duty engine options:
- 6.8L gas V8 (400 hp, 445 lb-ft)
- 7.3L gas V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft)
- 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft)

What’s the difference between the 2024 Ford Super Duty King Ranch and Platinum?
In a word: style! While the King Ranch is known for its ruggedly handsome styling, the Platinum has more classic appeal.
On the other hand, these heavy-duty trucks have a lot in common. For instance, the 2024 Super Duty King Ranch (from $76,975) and Platinum (from $77,865) trucks are similarly priced, and both deliver their fair share of comfort and tech upgrades. When you choose the F-250 or F-350 versions of either trim model, your truck comes standard with the 7.3-liter gas V8 (430 hp, 485 lb-ft) engine upgrade, boosting hauling capabilities. The F-450 King Ranch and Platinum trucks come standard with the 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel engine (475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft). And all are available with the Super Duty’s more powerful engine options!
Compared to lower trim models, the King Ranch adds a long list of luxury features, including a premium sound system and heads-up display. Compared to its fellow luxury truck, the Platinum, it offers exclusive styling. For instance, you won’t find its Kingsville leather upholstery or two-tone exterior available for any other Super Duty model!
The Super Duty King Ranch upgrades include:
- 20-inch King Ranch bright-machined cast aluminum with Light Caribou-painted pockets
- Unique Kingsville leather seats in Java
- Unique Kingsville leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel
- 14-speaker B&O sound system, including subwoofer
- Connected Navigation (one-year plan)
- Heads-up display
- Pro Power Onboard (2 kW)
- Power tailgate
- Power-deployable running boards
- Two-tone exterior paint
- Chrome grille with Caribou inserts
While the Platinum comes standard with the tech and convenience features listed above, it has its own style, replacing the King Ranch’s Western vibes with a classic luxury feel. For instance, this truck replaces the King Ranch’s exclusive Kingsville leather with its own Black Onyx leather seating. Other trade-offs include:
- 20-inch polished aluminum wheels
- Unique Platinum Black Onyx leather seating
- Satin aluminum grille
