Ford Super Duty statistics span factory scale, heavy-duty industry adoption, model-year capability and recall populations. The figures below identify their measurement periods, geography and configuration limits so production forecasts, ratings and safety notices are not mistaken for fleet averages.

Ford Super Duty production scale, investment and employment
Ford’s production statistics combine observed output with forward-looking company plans. The distinction matters: output figures describe reported activity in 2024, while Oakville, Windsor and Kentucky expansion figures are forecasts for 2026.
| Measure | Figure | Period and geography |
|---|---|---|
| Supporting U.S. plants | 10 plants in 5 states | 2024, United States |
| Direct U.S. employment | Approximately 20,000 workers | 2024, United States |
| Super Duty output at Kentucky and Ohio | More than 200,000 trucks | January–June 2024, United States |
| Planned North American investment | Approximately $3 billion | 2024 announcement |
Ford reported that Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant produced more than 200,000 Super Duty trucks during the first half of 2024. Kentucky Truck Plant reported 9,201 employees while assembling F-250 through F-550 Super Duty trucks among other vehicles, and Ohio Assembly reported 1,773 employees while manufacturing F-350, F-450 and F-550 chassis cabs among other products.

The 2024 Ford announcement planned approximately $2.3 billion for the Oakville portion of the expansion, with an initial expectation of approximately 1,800 Canadian jobs. It also forecast approximately 150 additional jobs at Windsor Engine Complex and up to 100,000 additional annual Super Duty units at Oakville beginning in 2026.
Ford separately planned a 2026 Kentucky line-speed change of one assembly job per hour, forecast to add more than 5,000 Super Duty trucks per year. That plan included 100 positions and a $60 million Kentucky Truck Plant investment.

These investment, employment and unit figures are company plans or estimates where identified, not realized post-expansion measurements.
Ford Super Duty adoption in heavy-duty industries
Ford reported sector-specific Super Duty market-share estimates for the United States in 2024. The source does not disclose each denominator, sampling frame or estimation method, so these figures should be treated as company-reported estimates rather than independently comparable market measurements.
| Heavy-duty sector | Reported Super Duty share | Period and geography |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | 58% | 2024, United States |
| Utilities | 56% | 2024, United States |
| Emergency vehicles | 53% | 2024, United States |
| Construction | 44% | 2024, United States |
The spread from 58% in mining to 44% in construction describes the reported shares, but it does not establish a ranking under a common independently documented methodology. The figures also should not be read as the percentage of all vehicles in each sector without a defined denominator.

2025 Ford Super Duty capability data
The 2025 model-year headline measures are maximum available ratings for the United States, not averages across every Super Duty configuration. Ford lists the pickup’s maximum available gooseneck towing rating at 40,000 pounds of loaded trailer weight and maximum available payload at 8,000 pounds.
The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke V8’s maximum available output was 500 horsepower, with maximum available torque of 1,200 pound-feet. These measures describe the specified engine’s available headline output rather than every engine or body configuration in the line.

Ford’s towing documentation states that ratings vary with cargo, configuration, options and passengers. Towing values use SAE J2807, while camper figures use minimum-equipment and Camper Package assumptions, so a maximum published figure should not be applied to an unspecified truck.
2025 Ford Super Duty towing ratings by configuration
The 2025 towing guide shows how axle, engine, cab and drive configuration change the applicable rating. The examples below are configuration-specific loaded-trailer or GCWR values for the United States.
| 2025 configuration | Measure | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| F-250 SRW 4×2 regular cab, 6.7L diesel, 3.31 axle | Fifth-wheel | 16,300 lb |
| Same F-250 configuration | Gooseneck | 16,500 lb |
| F-250 SRW 4×2 regular cab, 6.7L High Output diesel, 3.55E axle | Gooseneck | 23,000 lb |
| F-250 SRW 4×2 regular cab, 7.3L gas, 3.73 axle | Fifth-wheel | 16,700 lb |
| F-250 SRW 4×2 regular cab, 6.8L gas, 4.30 axle | Fifth-wheel | 17,100 lb |
| F-350 SRW 6.7L High Output diesel, 3.31 axle | GCWR | 31,800 lb |
| F-350 SRW 6.7L High Output diesel, 3.55 axle and listed package | GCWR | 35,200 lb |
| F-350 SRW 6.8L gas, 4.30 axle | GCWR | 24,400 lb |
The factory hitch receiver ratings add another configuration boundary: 22,000 pounds for a 2025 F-250, 25,000 pounds for an F-350 SRW, 18,200 pounds for an F-350 or F-250 Tremor, 28,000 pounds for an F-350 DRW and 30,000 pounds for an F-450 DRW.
Ford’s 2025 guide set a maximum trailer frontal area of 75 square feet for fifth-wheel and gooseneck applications and 60 square feet for other towing applications. These limits belong with the applicable configuration and should not be treated as universal payload or tow ratings.

2025 Ford Super Duty payload, camper and hitch data
Camper-cargo and payload figures illustrate the effect of cab, drive system, engine and tires. The following values are listed measurements for selected 2025 configurations, not a single range for every F-250 or F-350.
| Configuration | Measure | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| F-250 4×2 regular cab, 6.8L gas | GVWR | 10,000 lb |
| F-250 4×2 regular cab, 6.8L gas | Standard maximum camper cargo | 3,794 lb |
| F-250 4×2 SuperCab, 6.7L diesel | Standard maximum camper cargo | 2,170 lb |
| F-250 4×4 regular cab, 6.8L gas | Standard maximum camper cargo | 3,403 lb |
| F-250 4×4 SuperCab, 6.7L diesel | Standard maximum camper cargo | 1,818 lb |
| F-250 4×4 Crew Cab, 176-inch wheelbase, 6.7L High Output diesel | Standard maximum camper cargo | 2,844 lb |
For selected F-350 SRW 4×4 configurations, the 6.7L High Output maximum payload was 2,954 pounds for a Crew Cab with 176-inch wheelbase and 17-inch tires, 3,993 pounds for a regular cab with 18-inch all-season tires, 4,489 pounds for a regular cab with specified 18/20-inch all-terrain or 20-inch all-season tires, and 3,397 pounds for a Crew Cab with 176-inch wheelbase and those specified tire options.
Tailgate height was listed at 57.9–60.0 inches for the 2025 F-250 4×4, 57.9–59.7 inches for the F-350 SRW, 58.0–59.7 inches for the F-350 DRW and 58.6–60.3 inches for the F-450 DRW. These are dimensional ranges, not capacity measurements.

Ford Super Duty recall populations and measured outcomes
Recall counts identify affected or potentially involved populations, not confirmed failures or fleet incidence. They should therefore be read as safety-notice scope rather than as a reliability rate.
| Recall or notice | Population or outcome | Geography and period |
|---|---|---|
| NHTSA 23V-595 axle-shaft recall | 41,555 potentially involved vehicles | 2023, United States |
| Same recall | 36,333 F-250 vehicles | 2023, United States |
| Same recall | 5,222 F-350 vehicles | 2023, United States |
| Same recall | 50% estimated with axle-shaft defect | 2023, United States |
| Same recall | 7 warranty reports | Through August 14, 2023, United States |
| 2021 hub-extender recall | 17,616 vehicles | United States and federal territories |
| Same recall | 1,779 vehicles | Canada |
| Same recall | 231 vehicles | Mexico |
| Same recall | 0 reported accidents and 0 injuries | June 14, 2021 notice; United States, Canada and Mexico |
NHTSA recall 23V-595 listed 41,555 potentially involved 2023 F-250 and F-350 vehicles. Ford estimated that 50% of the recall population had the axle-shaft defect, including 36,333 F-250 and 5,222 F-350 vehicles, and reported seven warranty reports attributed to the concern through August 14, 2023.

The 2021 dual-rear-wheel Super Duty hub-extender recall affected 17,616 vehicles in the United States and federal territories, 1,779 in Canada and 231 in Mexico. Ford’s June 14, 2021 notice reported zero accidents and zero injuries related to that recall at the time of the notice; that is a reported outcome for the notice date, not a lifetime outcome for all vehicles.

Ford’s 2024 tailgate-camera chronology covered the 2023 and 2024 model years and identified the top camera as introduced during 2023 model-year production. This chronology describes two model years and an investigation context; it does not provide a fleet failure rate in the supplied measurements.
