Changes for the 2022 Ford Super Duty trucks center around connected technologies, with no major changes to drivetrain or performance capabilities. 

The most notable changes will be on the premium trim levels.

Occupants can multitask functions by splitting the screen to see navigation, music, truck features and the new digital owner’s manual.

“Super Duty customers aren’t just working harder these days, they are also working smarter,” says Todd Eckert, Ford Truck Group Marketing manager. “We’re further helping our customers raise their game and get the job done with purposeful technology through the introduction of SYNC 4 with a larger 12-in. screen and 24x7 cloud connectivity for both their truck and mobile devices.”

Customers can interact with the truck using more conversational natural voice control to ask for points of interest or delays along a route. SYNC voice control and a 4.2-in. center screen remains standard on the XL series trucks with SYNC 3 available while an 8-in. center touch screen and SYNC 3 are standard on XLT.
