Hastings Ford – Heavy-Duty Towing Made Easier around York, NE — The 2026 Ford Super Duty® F-350®’s Smart Tech

Drivers who tow heavy equipment or a large fifth-wheel know that power is just the beginning. What really transforms the experience is confidence — the kind that comes from clear visibility, precise control at low speeds, and intelligent tools that simplify tricky maneuvers. That’s why the 2026 Ford Super Duty® F-350® stands out for serious work and serious weekends alike. Its integrated towing technology brings the systems you once had to piece together into a single, easy-to-use playbook. From camera-based guidance to weight-estimating scales and intuitive backup controls, it’s an ecosystem designed to help you align, connect, and hit the road faster with the assurance that your setup is right.

Several available features deserve special attention for frequent towers. Trailer Reverse Guidance uses multiple camera views and helpful graphics to show how your trailer is tracking and where it’s headed. Available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ can help position your ball or pintle with remarkable accuracy, saving time and avoiding do-overs in crowded yards. For the final word in ease, available Pro Trailer Backup Assist™ lets you guide the trailer with a simple control while the truck manages steering input. Add Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch to estimate cargo weight and guide distribution at the hitch, and you’ve got a smarter way to set up — whether you’re loading a skid steer during the week or hooking a fifth-wheel for a long weekend away.

  • Trailer Reverse Guidance: Uses multiple camera views and graphics to visualize trailer angle and direction.
  • Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™: Helps align the hitch and receiver with precision to reduce hookup time.
  • Pro Trailer Backup Assist™: Simplifies backing a trailer by controlling direction with an intuitive knob.
  • Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch: Estimates cargo weight and guides proper tongue or pin load.

The Super Duty® platform supports those technologies with fundamentals that matter under load. A fully boxed, high-strength steel frame and the TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission deliver composed starts and confident downshifts on grades. PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors extend when needed and retract when parking, while the 360-Degree Camera supports situational awareness in tight spaces. If your routes take you onto unpaved lots and soft approaches, available off-road packages — including Tremor® and FX4® — add suspension tuning, underbody protection, and driver-selectable modes to help keep work moving on less-than-ideal terrain. And when the job demands power at the site, available 2kW Pro Power Onboard™ brings plug-in convenience right to your bed outlets.

Inside, the 12-inch center display with SYNC® 4 can show camera views and trailering tools in crisp detail, while the available head-up display helps you monitor key information without shifting your focus. Use the interior work surface to review load sheets, and keep devices topped with the wireless charging pad. When it’s time to secure your truck, the Ford Security Package adds another layer of confidence after hours.

Hastings Ford makes it easy to match these features to your towing routine, with guidance that centers on your real-world trailer dimensions, cargo, and routes. You can compare trims, off-road packages, and tow mirrors online or in our showroom and decide how far you want to take your tech — from a better camera view to the full suite of trailer guidance and backup assists.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Which towing features are most helpful if I’m new to trailering?

Start with the 360-Degree Camera and Trailer Reverse Guidance for better visibility and clear graphics that show trailer tracking. Pro Trailer Hitch Assist™ is a smart next step because it helps align your truck and trailer quickly and accurately.

Do I need Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch if I tow the same trailer every week?

If your cargo weight changes — pallets, equipment, or materials — Onboard Scales can still help confirm that you’re within target and that tongue or pin load is set correctly. It’s an added check that makes busy mornings more predictable.

What mirrors and lighting should I consider for frequent night hookups?

PowerScope® trailer tow mirrors are invaluable for extension and visibility, and LED lighting around the bed and perimeter can make after-dark connections easier and safer.

Can I combine off-road packages with advanced towing tech?

Yes. Many drivers choose the Tremor® or FX4® Off-Road Package alongside trailering features to keep capability balanced for construction sites, fields, or gravel approaches.

From helpful guidance visuals to time-saving automation, the 2026 Ford Super Duty® F-350® is engineered to cut stress from the hookup process and make backing a trailer feel more natural.
