(By Tom Lohnes) – With a refresh for 2020, the Ford Super Duty pickup truck has proven itself a great choice in the field, with its only drawback being tech. Well, for 2022, the Super Duty received what its needs and some more.
Starting out with the small things, the Super Duty receives two new appearance packages. The STX sport appearance package, available on both XLT and Lariat trims, basically color-matches everything that was chrome. This does so on both trims, making them barely distinguishable. Next in the list of updates comes the big one: Sync 4.
With GM utilizing a brilliant system in a smaller screen, and Ram essentially strapping an iPad Pro on to the dashboard of their trucks, Ford has added the option of the new system on the XLT trim, and from there on it is standard. Powertrain changes are at a minimum, the only notable thing is the “Godzilla” 7.3-liter V8 makes 430 horsepower now, up from 428.
So, will this update to the Gargantuan Ford sway you to buy one? The Super Duty not only looks good, performs good, and is built good, but now it can keep up with it’s competitors computer-wise. Pricing for the Super Duty ranges anywhere from $34,000 to $115,000.
Buy a good used pick up….$115k they must be kidding.
Just build what you want , yes 115K is NUTS but look at GM and Dodge that both have 110K + offerings. I have built a few online that have everything I need and are about 50K. Not cheap but still 20K less than a loaded F150. Trucks are where all the manufacturers make their money and people keep paying so…
