The 2024 Ford F-350 is part of the most iconic truck lineup in automotive history, tracing its roots to the 1900s when Henry Ford transformed how people traveled with the Model T and worked with the Model TT truck. These early models helped put the world on wheels and set the stage for the best-selling F-Series we know and love today. The 2024 F-350 is part of that series, continuing a rich legacy as the best-selling truck in America since 1977.
As a heavy-duty truck, the 2024 F-350 is renowned for its brute strength, but there's far more to the truck than its exceptional towing and payload capacities. It's also incredibly versatile, well-equipped, and innovative, with Ford outfitting the 2024 F-350 with every feature, comfort, and convenience imaginable to improve your experience in the driver's seat. The combination is incredible, especially with the F-350's affordable starting price of $46,015 in 2024.[a]
But what else can you expect from the 2024 F-350? How much can it tow with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer, and what engine will you find under the hood? How does Ford cater to different performance, style, and budget needs with the F-350's lineup? It's time to find out with a closer look at the details and how the 2024 F-350 continues its reign as the best-selling heavy-duty truck in America for over four decades.
Starting at
Ford acknowledges that drivers have unique needs, from those looking for budget-friendly trims to others who want a luxurious truck with premium materials and the latest technologies. The 2024 F-350 lineup caters to that diversity, starting with the F-350 XL. The entry-level trim sets the benchmark for the fleet, powered by a 6.8L V8 engine and featuring an expansive 8-inch touchscreen display with the SYNC 4 infotainment system. Its value-oriented packaging is customizable with upgrades like the XL Off-Road Package, which readies the truck for the trail with an electronic locking rear differential, 33-inch off-road tires, and off-road-specific components.
Climbing the F-350 lineup to the XLT means more power from the 7.3L V8 engine and more technologies, courtesy of upgrades like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Forward Collision Warning. Drivers also benefit from a 5G WiFi hotspot, which carries over to trims like the F-350 LARIAT, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited. These top-tier models offer a progressive suite of luxuries and features, beginning with the LARIAT's 12-inch touchscreen display, customizable 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and trailering technologies.
Opulence is Ford's primary focus on the F-350 King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims. The King Ranch lives up to its reputation, courtesy of its Kingsville Antique Affect leather interior and conveniences like the power tailgate with its integrated camera. The Platinum adds a Head-Up Display to its packaging, but the Limited steals the spotlight with its warrior heartbeat. Powered by Ford's proven 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine, the Limited is instantly recognizable as a luxurious chariot with a head-turning rumble and a cabin fit for royalty. The combination of power and cutting-edge trailering technologies is impeccable, with the F-350 Limited answering every demand and making your job behind the wheel easier and more enjoyable.
As a heavy-duty truck, the 2024 F-350 is no slouch when it's time to work. Ford guarantees as much by giving drivers a choice of four engines; each mated to a smooth-shifting TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission. The transmission outfits the F-350 with five selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, Deep Sand/Snow, Slippery, and Tow/Haul. These modes heighten the F-350's performance, prioritizing handling, responsiveness, and efficiency as the conditions or your driving preferences demand.
While the Drive Modes finetune the F-350's power output and handling, the truck's incredible powertrains do the rest. The standard engine is Ford's 6.8L V8 engine that produces 405 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 18,900 lbs and the truck's highest payload of 8,000 lbs, a best-in-class rating. This gives you the freedom and ability to haul everything from heavy trailers and equipment to a camper, ski boat, or other gear.
Moving up the F-350 lineup means more power from three high-performance V8 engines. The 7.3L Godzilla V8 lives up to its name as it churns out 430 hp and 485 lb-ft of torque, giving the F-350 the brute strength to support a payload of 7,647 lbs and match the standard engine's towing capacity. These capacities set the standard, with the final two V8 engines pushing the F-350 to next-level capability to handle all your fifth wheel and gooseneck needs.
Rounding on the F-350's powertrain family is the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo-Diesel V8 and its High-Output sibling. The standard Turbo-Diesel V8 is impressive, producing 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque for the low-end power needed to tow 32,600 lbs or carry a 6,965-pound payload. Opting for the High-Output Turbo-Diesel pushes these numbers even higher, with the diesel engine delivering 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque to tow up to 32,900 lbs.
Ford adds to the appeal and capability of its Power Stroke engines by adding diesel engine exhaust braking. The driver-activated feature instills more confidence in the F-350's capability, especially when navigating steep descents with a heavy load. The technology puts you in control, letting you choose when to restrict the turbocharger's exhaust flow and generate the back pressure necessary to slow the truck. With three settings, the feature enables you to customize the Power Stroke's performance without impeding your control or the truck's capability.
There's no question the 2024 F-350 is remarkably capable, but Ford heightens that capability by outfitting it with advanced technologies that help you get the most from the truck in every situation. These technologies include trailering-specific tools like Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch, which displays the truck's estimated payload on the F-350's expansive center touchscreen display. The Smart Hitch feature even calculates the weight on the tongue, giving you vital insights into how your trailer is loaded for optimal safety.
Beyond how your cargo is loaded, the F-350's trailering technology also works behind the scenes to heighten your situational awareness and help you expertly maneuver your rig in any situation. For example, the Blind Spot Information System with Trailer Coverage extends your visibility when changing lanes, and Pro Trailer Hitch Assist streamlines the process of hitching up to your trailer. Pro Trailer Backup Assist works similarly, but instead of aligning your truck with the trailer, it lets you maneuver the entire rig in reverse with the turn of a knob.
Once your cargo is secure and your trailer hitched, the real excitement begins as you climb in the driver's seat and discover more advanced technology awaits. The F-350's modern cockpit is framed by a 12-inch Digital Instrument Cluster that provides vital performance insights and alerts from driver-assist and navigational tools. To your right sits an expansive 8-inch or 12-inch touchscreen display with the SYNC 4 infotainment system that offers seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The optional Head-Up Display adds to this technology, extending your visibility by projecting vital insights on the windshield to help keep your focus on the road.
As you become more familiar with the F-350, you'll notice the displays work effortlessly with an extensive suite of active and passive safety and driver-assist features. For example, you'll notice the center display works with Pro Trailer Backup Assist and a 360-degree camera system to improve your visibility. Likewise, you'll see notifications from the F-350's Blind Spot Information System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Intersection Assist, and Pre-Collision Assist on the digital driver display, all of which enhance your experience in the driver's seat by improving your situational awareness and mitigating the possibility of a collision.
The 2024 Ford F-350 rightly earns its place in the spotlight as one of the best-valued and most capable heavy-duty trucks in the segment. It epitomizes the brute strength expected of a Ford workhorse, with the truck touted as the ultimate work partner and adventurer. There's no question about its versatility or why it's the best-selling truck in America.
