2011 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 Super Duty - Car and Driver
This is not to say that Ford has nothing to say in the area of civilizing niceties—quite the contrary. When the new big boys—the F-250, the F-350, and the F-450—swagger into showrooms in April, they’ll sport two new engines, a new six-speed automatic transmission, the biggest payload capacities in their respective categories, and the highest towing... And with a new 13-inch blue-oval logo up front, it would require extremely poor eyesight (apologies to Stevie Wonder) to perceive this as anything but a Ford. The two new engines are a 6. 2-liter gasoline V-8 and a 6. 7-liter turbo-diesel V-8. Ford’s SOHC 6. 8-liter V-10—362 hp, 457 lb-ft of torque—carries over but is limited to chassis-cab applications. It’s capable of running on E85 and replaces the rather anemic 5. 4-liter V-8 that registered a mere whimper in the full-size-truck segment with 300 hp and 365 lb-ft. We can’t wait to see what Ford’s F-150 SVT Raptor , currently the only light-duty application for the engine, can do with one of these 6. 2-liters bolted under its hood. The bigger news is the new turbocharged and intercooled 6. 7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8. Not only does it generate output ratings that make competing oil burners look tame—390 hp and 735 lb-ft.
