2022 Ford Super Duty: What's New

Hey, my good friends, Sam Haymar with Test Driven TV. Ford recently introduced the 2022 Super Duty pickup trucks, and there's a lot of trim updates and new features that we're going to show you inside and out. Well, not as comprehensive as the significant makeover inside and out the F-150 received last year. The 2022 Ford Super Duty pickups get a number of important upgrades inside and out, some new trim and color combinations to keep it competitive in the hotly contested pickup game. Since black is the new black and body color is in, some new packages for 2022 allow customers to dial up their look. For starters, there's a new Lariat Sport Appearance Package, which comes with body color bumpers front and rear, exterior mirror caps and the front grill. The package also includes a cleanly executed chrome exhaust tip and understated black running boards. For fans of the black appearance package, the 2022 Super Duty will allow buyers of the XLT trim grade to select the popular look, which includes 20-inch black painted wheels, body color bumpers front and rear, black running boards and grill. While much of the interior is carried over, unlike the newest F-150 that got a complete makeover, a few tweaks make it more competitive nonetheless. Front and center is a new and larger 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment touchscreen, which comes standard on Lariat trims and above. Like other systems offered, it features lots of hard controls, including large knobs and buttons you can use with gloves on. The larger screen allows for split screen data displays as well as larger and more crisp graphics all around. Ford says the computer backend is more powerful to support new features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. They tell us that its voice control operations are improved to work more conversationally as well. A smaller 8-inch touchscreen is standard on the XLT and a less featured 4.2-inch screen remains the standard for radio and infotainment on the XL trim. Carried over is the relatively new 7.3-liter naturally aspirated gas V8 with class-leading 430 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. Also still the sales leader is a 6.7-liter power stroke diesel V8 with its 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. Both engines come standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission only. When it comes to capability, the Ford Super Duty rolls into 2022 with a payload capacity of 7,850 pounds. Maximum towing is up to 37,000 pounds for a gooseneck trailer, a max of 32,500 pounds for fifth wheels and up to 24,200 pounds for conventional trailers. All right, my friends, there you go for the 2022 Ford Super Duty. Now, they've done a lot of nice little upgrades. I really do think it would have been nice if they'd brought the interior from the new F-150 in. It's a lot nicer all around. Could have done it, but they've made their choice.
