“It's build is that of a luxury vehicle while still emitting the presence of power and workmanship. The vehicle drives like Smooth for a child and takes the competition for a man. Hands down the best.”
2016 Ford F-350: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2016 Ford F-350 is a carryover with no major changes from 2015. Its main significance is that it is the final model year before the fully redesigned 2017 F-350 arrived.
About the 2016 Ford F-350
Pre-2017 Super Duty generation, final year before the fully redesigned 2017 F-350.
Ford positions the F-350 Super Duty as a serious tow-and-haul pickup for buyers who need more trailer and payload capability than a light-duty truck can deliver. Its core appeal is brute work capacity, durability, and a very wide spread of cab, bed, axle, and trim combinations. The lineup ranges from basic fleet-ready work trucks to genuinely luxurious models, but the model’s main identity is still heavy-duty job capability first.
The 2016 F-350 ranges from the basic, work-focused XL to the comfort-heavy Platinum. XLT adds practical conveniences such as Bluetooth and an integrated trailer brake controller, while Lariat brings leather, an 8-inch touchscreen, a rearview camera, and parking sensors. King Ranch adds western-themed leather and navigation, while Platinum features premium leather, heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a tailgate step.
