Alpine Ford – Can the 2026 Ford Super Duty® F-350® Really Tow 40,000 Pounds in Colorado Springs, CO?
For shoppers sizing up serious capability, the question isn’t just “how much can it tow?”—it’s “can it tow this much with control, confidence, and the right tech to make it easier?” The 2026 Ford Super Duty® F-350® is engineered for exactly that kind of day. Properly configured, Super Duty® achieves a best-in-class diesel-powered maximum available gooseneck tow rating up to 40,000 lbs, and the F-350® sits at the center of that capability story with a fully boxed, high-strength steel frame and available 6.7L High Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel delivering best-in-class horsepower and torque. If your work or recreation involves big fifth-wheels, multi-axle flatbeds, or heavy equipment, the F-350® provides the muscle and stability you need—without overcomplicating the setup.
Beyond raw numbers, towing confidence lives in the details. Available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ helps you steer a trailer in reverse with intuitive controls. Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ adds precision when lining up to the coupler, minimizing trial-and-error during hitching. Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch can help you estimate cargo weight and distribute tongue weight more effectively, while the available 360-Degree Camera enhances situational awareness in tight yards. Pair those with PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors and the composed behavior of a 10-speed automatic, and the F-350® feels like a cohesive towing system designed around your routine—hook, load, and go.
Engine choice matters as loads increase. The available 6.7L High Output Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel’s immense 1,200 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm means strong low-end pull right where heavy trailers need it most—launching up grades, merging into traffic, and maintaining steady speed over rolling terrain. If you travel long distances with payload in the bed, the truck’s robust chassis and suspension deliver consistent ride control and braking stability, translating power into predictable performance mile after mile. For mixed usage, consider how often you tow at or near maximum ratings and what type of hitch you’ll use; our team can align powertrain, axle ratio, and towing hardware to your specific trailer profile.
Inside, available SYNC® 4 with a 12-inch center display and an available head-up display help you keep eyes forward with key info where you need it. That clarity matters when you’re monitoring temperatures, navigation, trailer camera views, or guidance from your towing tools. And with available 2kW Pro Power Onboard™, the bed becomes a mobile power hub—handy for job sites, roadside tasks, or campsite setups when your trailer is parked.
