2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty Diesel - Car and Driver
Don’t be intimidated by its huge rodeo belt-buckle grille or world-dominating styling—Ford’s F-250 Super Duty is a gentle giant that’s just the ticket for heavy hauling or world-class posing. There’s a powerful, optional 6. 7-liter turbo-diesel V-8 with 440 hp and 860 lb-ft. the 385-hp 6. 2-liter gas V-8 is unchanged. Both engines pair with a six-speed automatic. First Drive Review – 2015 Ford F-250 Super Duty Diesel Under the hood of our F-250 was the same 6. 7-liter Power Stroke diesel available in its F-350 Super Duty and F-450 Super Duty big brothers. (You can still get the 6. 2-liter gasoline V-8 in the F-250 and F-350, but we drove only the diesel this time. ) Ford prodded the Power Stroke for 2015 to produce 440 horsepower and 860 lb-ft of hairy-chested torque, relying on the usual tricks for its latest round of one-upmanship: a larger turbo, new fuel injector tips, a more accurate exhaust-gas... An improved torque converter helps the TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission handle the diesel’s prodigious output. ) Considering the massive torque on hand, shifting is almost a secondary consideration, but the six-speed unit moved from cog to cog seamlessly, never leaving us wanting for a different gear—one less thing to worry about when pulling a trailer.
