“Ford needs to focus on engine quality to really get me back. The ecoboost in my last truck was great until 60k miles and then it was a nightmare. Boring cars with poor quality are all I see when I'm on a Ford lot. First time in my life I can honestly say there isn't really anything they make that I'm excited about.”
2022 Ford F-250: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2022 Ford F-250 is a new 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen setup on upper trims, led by Lariat. This is a light update rather than a redesign, with a few appearance and equipment changes elsewhere in the lineup.
About the 2022 Ford F-250
4th-generation Super Duty pickup (2017-2022), third year of the 2020 refresh and final year before the all-new 2023 redesign.
Ford positions the 2022 F-250 Super Duty as a heavy-duty pickup for real towing, hauling, and jobsite work, while still serving owners who use their truck for RVs, horse trailers, and other personal towing. The core appeal is straightforward: big capability, multiple V8 engine choices, a wide spread of cab and bed layouts, and trims that range from basic work truck to luxury tow rig.
The 2022 F-250 ranges from the durable, basic XL work truck to luxury-focused King Ranch, Platinum, and Limited models. XLT adds useful safety and towing equipment, while Lariat brings leather, a 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and connected navigation. Limited stands out with a standard 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8, while King Ranch and Platinum emphasize premium cabins and standard 4WD.
What changed, by category

Styling
Ford updates some appearance packages and upper-trim wheel and appearance details, without changing the F-250’s overall exterior design.

2022 Ford F-250
(377 reviews)
“Overall it's not that comfortable, the technology is not as good as other companies and the overall quality (finish) wasn't that great for the price.”
“If you want to tow, long distances, reliably, the F250 is a great choice for a good price. I tow a 30 ft trailer from SC to CA at least twice a year with multiple side trips each way and have done so for over ten years, zero problems with FORD.”
