2018 Ford F-350: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2018 Ford F-350 is its stronger 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel, upgraded to 450 horsepower and 935 lb-ft of torque. Ford also added the luxury-focused Limited trim, while the rest of the recently redesigned truck largely carried over.
About the 2018 Ford F-350
4th-generation Super Duty, second model year after the 2017 redesign.
Ford positioned the 2018 F-350 Super Duty as a heavy-duty pickup for serious towing, hauling, and job-site use, built around high capability and work-ready durability. The core pitch was strong diesel and gas V8 power, a high-strength frame, aluminum-alloy body construction, and trailer technology that made big loads easier to manage. What set it apart was how wide the range was: it could be a basic work truck, a comfortable tow vehicle, or a near-luxury heavy-duty pickup without losing its core utility.
The 2018 F-350 ranges from the basic, job-focused XL to the new Limited flagship. Lariat adds leather seats and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while Limited pairs standard diesel power and 4WD with a trailer-camera system, massaging front seats, power running boards, and a twin-panel moonroof.
