For 2026, the Ford Super Duty gets a round of smart updates, including new colors, expanded package availability, and a practical new piece of optional equipment. These changes make it a truck that’s more polished without losing its core toughness. Here’s what to know about updates to the 2026 Ford Super Duty truck lineup
Key Takeaways
- Every Super Duty now comes standard with tire pressure monitoring.
- XLT and Lariat trims switch to rear-wheel drive as the starting setup.
- The 2026 Super Duty arrives in our showroom sometime in Fall 2025.
What are the Safety Upgrades Across the Super Duty Lineup?
One of the biggest changes for 2026 is that tire pressure monitoring is now standard on every Super Duty trim, from the base XL all the way up to the Platinum Plus. It doesn’t matter if you’re shopping for an F-250, F-350, or F-450, or whether you’re running single or dual rear wheels—you’ll get the system as part of the standard equipment list.
Ford also tweaked the drivetrain setup for the XLT and Lariat trims. In past years, both came with four-wheel drive as standard, but that’s no longer the case. Rear-wheel drive is now the default, with four-wheel drive available as an option.
For buyers who spend most of their time commuting or towing on highways, rear-wheel drive may be all they need. But if you’re planning to take your truck off-road, or you normally deal with tough winters, it’s worth making sure you check the four-wheel drive box when you place your order.
Ford Offers Fresh Colors to Choose From
A subtle but welcome change for 2026 is the updated paint palette. Ford retired a few older shades and introduced Argon Blue Metallic, Marsh Gray, and Iconic Silver Metallic (the last one reserved for fleet customers).
More Super Duty Trims Get Popular Packages
Two of the Super Duty’s most popular add-ons—the STX Appearance Package and Tremor Off-Road Package—are now available on more trims. The STX package sharpens the look with sportier styling, while the Tremor package adds off-road capability.
Tremor fans will need to be patient, though, since the package won’t be available right at launch. Instead, Ford plans to roll it out later in the production cycle.
Handy New Optional Gear
Another addition for 2026 is the optional NOCO jump-starter box. Ford hasn’t announced official pricing, but as of August 2025, the retail value is $199.95. The unit delivers up to 2,000 amps, is waterproof and spark-proof, and comes with built-in reverse polarity protection to prevent mistakes. It’s rated for gas engines up to 8.0 liters and diesel engines up to 6.0 liters, making it a practical tool for anyone who relies on their truck for serious work.
Are You Ready to Experience the Super Duty for Yourself?
With added safety tech, fresh paint options, more packages, and some genuinely useful optional gear, the Super Duty looks to be an impressive lineup for Ford in '26. Production began in Fall 2025, and trucks should be arriving at our dealership by the end of the year. If you’re looking for a heavy-duty pickup that stays modern without losing what makes it dependable, the 2026 Super Duty is worth considering. Contact Brighton Ford today!
