The rumors were true! Ford’s redesigned F-Series Super Duty won’t receive the Boss 6.2-liter V8 of the outgoing model but a brand-new 6.8 derived from the Godzilla 7.3-liter V8. The Dearborn-based automaker hasn’t revealed what kind of horsepower and pound-foot it develops.
To whom it may concern, the 6.2 cranks out 385 horsepower and 430 pound-foot (582 Nm). Ford hasn’t mentioned the output figures of the 7.3 either, which currently makes 430 horsepower and 475 pound-foot (643 Nm). Both V8s are made in Canada at the Ford Windsor Engine Plant.
The final entry is the Power Stroke 6.7-liter V8 turbo diesel, which is offered in two states of tune. “High Output” is the designation used for the … uhm, high-output version. As with the gasoline-fueled V8s, the second-largest automaker in America hasn’t said a word about output figures.
Be that as it may, “Super Duty targets the most towing, payload, torque, and horsepower of any heavy-duty full-size truck.” That, ladies and gentlemen, is a challenge directed at the Cummins-developed sixer in Ram HD pickup trucks. The standard-output version of the 6.7-liter mill belts out 370 horsepower and 850 pound-foot (1,152 Nm), whereas the high-output version levels up to 420 horsepower and 1,075 pound-foot (1,458 Nm).
We don’t know max towing and max payload capacities either. But we do know that the max payload is delivered by the F-350 DRW Regular Cab 4x2 XL with the 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 and Heavy-Duty Payload Package. As for max towing, the Ford Motor Company lists the F-450 Regular Cab with the Max Tow Package and 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 High Output. For reference, the 2022 model year Ford F-Series Super Duty boasts up to 7,850 pounds (3,561 kilograms) and 37,000 pounds (16,783 kilograms), respectively.
All four engine options are connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and every chassis bac comes with a power take-off connection. Four-wheel drive is standard on XLT and higher trim levels. Pro Power Onboard with 2.0 kW on deck is optionally available, along with driver-assist technologies that include Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch. Last but certainly not least, the Super Duty is the first pickup in the U.S. of A. with 5G capability.
