Get ready for the arrival of the 2024 Ford Super Duty! Although it’s still fresh from its complete redesign in 2023, the 2024 model year brings a few noteworthy changes to this beloved pickup truck. While these updates may not be groundbreaking, it’s essential for prospective buyers to be aware of them before placing an order. The recently released 2024 Ford Super Duty order guide provides us with all the details, including the main features and options available across the six trim levels, ranging from XL to Limited.
Mechanical Updates
The 2024 Super Duty largely retains the same engine options as the previous year. However, there is one notable addition: the new 6.8-liter V8 now offers flex-fuel capability for “complete pickups.” This means that Super Duty models equipped with a bed (excluding chassis cab models) can run on both regular gasoline and E85 fuel.
Fresh Paint Colors
In terms of exterior paint options, the 2024 Ford Super Duty introduces two new colors: Darkened Bronze Metallic and Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat. These hues replace the discontinued Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat and Stone Gray shades.
Enhanced Tech Features
The 2024 Super Duty boasts some noteworthy tech upgrades. XLT models equipped with the Premium Package, as well as Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited trims, now come with one year of Connected Navigation services included. Additionally, the XL and XLT models offer the optional Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch feature. The Programmable Engine Idle Shutdown (86K) is now available as an option for XL and XLT trims. Improved supply chain efficiency has allowed for the removal of certain options, such as Heated Steering Wheel Removal and LED Projector Headlamp Dynamic Bending and Auto Leveling Removal.
New Packages
The 2024 Super Duty introduces two new packages: the Heavy-Service Package for Pickup Box Delete (63R) and Pickup Box Delete. Simultaneously, the 360-Degree Camera Package without the Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp (CHMSL) Camera has been discontinued.

The base XL trim comes with the standard 6.8-liter gas V8. Adding the STX package provides the option of upgrading to the 7.3-liter Godzilla V8.
