2022 Ford F-550 Specs: an Overview

With the 2022 Ford F-550 specs at your disposal, you’ll be able to handle anything life throws at you. This truck’s payload limit reaches higher than 12,000 pounds, and it can tow more than 30,000 pounds with diesel—but these are only the most obvious ways in which the F-550 stands out. We’ve covered everything you need to know before you reach out to see our truck lineup in person.
2022 Ford F-550 GVWR
Unchanged from 2021, the 2022 Ford F-550 GVWR is determined by the payload package that you select for your truck. Choose the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) that’s right for you:
- 17,500 pounds
- 18,000 pounds
- 19,000 pounds
- 19,500 pounds
2022 Ford F-550 Weight & Payload Capacity
Your GVWR tells you the maximum total weight of your vehicle, modifications, and cargo, but you’ll need to subtract out the Ford F-550 weight in order to figure out how much you can add to your truck body or haul on Chicago and Madison roads. With the 7.3L gas engine, the F-550 has a base curb weight of 6,641 pounds. With the 6.7L diesel, curb weight starts at 7,390 pounds. Your weight will rise from there, depending on how you equip and configure your vehicle.
The Ford F-550 payload capacity can reach as high as 12,750 pounds, but your precise capabilities will vary depending on how you configure your vehicle. In order to reach this upper limit, opt for a 4×2 model with rear-wheel drive, a 169-inch wheelbase, and the high-end payload package.
2022 F-550 GCWR
Super Duty GCWR metrics are based on the engine that you select for your vehicle and your axle ratio, and since this number tells you the maximum total weight of your vehicle, cargo, and trailer, it’s important to keep in mind. At the upper-limit axle ratio of 4.88:1, Super Duty models with the 7.3L gas engine have a maximum GCWR of 30,000 pounds, while models with the 6.7L diesel max out at 43,000 pounds.
2022 F-550 Towing Capacity
The 2022 F-550 towing capacity follows from your GCWR and your choice of towing configuration. Diesel and gas-powered models can both tow up to 18,500 pounds with a conventional hitch. Switch to a 5th-wheel/gooseneck towing configuration to pull up to 31,600 pounds with diesel or up to 20,400 pounds with gas.
2022 Ford F-550 Engines
The 2022 Ford F-550 engine options carry over unchanged. Choose between a powerful V8 gas engine and a V8 diesel that maxes out on torque:
- 7.3L V8: 350 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque
- 6.7L V8 Diesel: 330 horsepower and 825 lb-ft of torque
Both F-550 engines are paired with a TorqShift® 10-Speed SelectShift® Automatic transmission.
