The Lorentz covariant statistical physics and thermodynamics is formulated within the preferred frame approach. The transformation laws for geometrical and mechanical quantities such as volume and pressure as well as the Lorentz-invariant measure on the phase space are found using Lorentz transformation in absolute synchronization. Next, the probability density and partition function are investigated using the preferred frame approach and the transformation laws for internal energy, entropy, temperature as well as other thermodynamical potentials are established. The Lorentz covariance of basic thermodynamical relations, including Clapeyron's equation and Maxwell's relations is shown. Finally, the relation of presented approach to the previous approaches to relativistic thermodynamics is briefly discussed.
