The 2026 F-350 runs the full Super Duty powertrain lineup with a 10-speed TorqShift automatic standard, tows up to 40,000 lbs gooseneck and carries up to 8,000 lbs of payload when properly equipped, and is offered in both single- and dual-rear-wheel form across five trims.

The 2026 F-350 offers two gas V8s and two Power Stroke diesels. The 6.8L gas V8 (405 hp) covers daily work and carries the highest payload; the 7.3L gas V8 (430 hp) adds towing headroom without diesel upkeep; the 6.7L Power Stroke (1,050 lb-ft) is the heavy-towing standard; the High-Output diesel (1,200 lb-ft) unlocks the 40,000-lb gooseneck maximum.

Our Recommendation

For most ranch and farm buyers around Bowdle and Aberdeen who run gooseneck stock and equipment trailers, we recommend the standard-output 6.7L Power Stroke. Its 1,050 lb-ft of torque and high tow ratings cover nearly every trailer in this part of South Dakota — the High-Output engine and a dually only pay off if you're routinely near the top of the F-350's range.

The 2026 F-350 comes in five trims. XL and XLT are the work trucks; Lariat is the volume choice that adds a 12-inch touchscreen and leather-trimmed comfort; King Ranch and Platinum are full luxury trucks that still tow and haul like Super Dutys.

XL is right for you if the truck is a tool — fleet, jobsite, vinyl floors you can hose out.
XLT is right for you if you want work capability plus everyday comfort at the value sweet spot.
Lariat is right for you if you spend long hours in the cab and want the 12-inch screen and leather.
King Ranch is right for you if you want Western-styled luxury that still works for a living.
Platinum is right for you if you want the most modern, tech-forward luxury Super Duty.

Properly equipped, the 2026 Ford F-350 tows up to 40,000 lbs with a gooseneck hitch (6.7L High-Output Power Stroke, DRW, 40K Gooseneck Tow Package), up to about 35,000 lbs fifth-wheel, and up to 28,000 lbs conventional on the dually. Actual capacity depends on cab, bed, axle ratio, single- or dual-rear-wheel, and packages.

From the Beadle Ford Lot

The F-350 conversation we have most in Bowdle is SRW vs. DRW. Plenty of buyers assume they need a dually and don't — a single-rear-wheel F-350 covers most goosenecks with room to spare and is far easier to live with on gravel and in the yard. We size the truck to the heaviest trailer you actually pull loaded, not the one you pull twice a year.

The 2026 F-350 pairs work-focused tech with everyday usability: available trailer camera views, blind spot monitoring that extends to trailer coverage, large digital displays, and driver-assist features built around towing rather than bolted on as afterthoughts.

Does the F-350 come in a dually? Yes — dual-rear-wheel (DRW) is available for maximum towing and stability.
Does it come in 4x4? Yes — four-wheel drive is available on every trim.
What transmission does it use? A 10-speed TorqShift automatic is standard with all four engines.
Is there a snow plow package? Yes — snow plow prep is available and popular in our market.
What cab styles are offered? Regular Cab, SuperCab, and Crew Cab, with short or long bed options.
What's the 40K Gooseneck Tow Package? The option group required to reach the 40,000-lb gooseneck maximum on the HO diesel DRW.
Can it tow a large fifth-wheel? Yes — diesel F-350s handle the largest fifth-wheel and gooseneck campers on the market.
Does it have trailer cameras? Yes — available camera views cover the trailer and its blind spots.
Is blind spot monitoring available? Yes, with coverage that extends along your trailer.
What's the max payload? Up to 8,000 lbs with the 6.8L gas V8, properly equipped.
Is the F-350 good for daily driving? An SRW F-350 is livable daily; a dually trades some everyday ease for capacity.
Is it a good fleet and upfit truck? Yes — XL and XLT trims are built for fleet duty, and gaseous-engine prep is available.
How is it different from an F-250? Higher payload and towing ceilings and available dual rear wheels — more capability headroom.
