Ford Throws Down 440 hp, 860 lb-ft with 2015 Power Stroke Diesel - TruckTrend Magazine
If you've followed the diesel performance scene for the past decade, you're well aware of the established pecking order of the Detroit Three among diesel enthusiasts. Cummins was a strong first place, followed by the Duramax, and the Ford Power Stroke generally taking a distant third. Ford's lack of respect among the diesel community largely stemmed from problems on the 6. 0-liter Power Stroke diesel co-developed with International Harvester. When Ford brought out the 6. 7-liter Power Stroke in 2011, it was a complete clean-sheet, in-house design, bursting with state-of-the-art features like piezoelectric injectors, reverse-flow heads, and a compacted graphite iron block. Meet the 2015 Ford 6. 7-liter Power Stroke, bringing a massive 440 hp and 860 lb-ft of torque to the game. To that end, the power increase with the new engine brings maximum towing capacity for the F-450 to a claimed 31,200 pounds with a gooseneck hitch, 26,500 with a fifth wheel, and a gross combined weight rating of 40,000 pounds. The max-tow package on the 2015 F-350 offers 26,500 pounds of fifth-wheel/gooseneck capacity and a GVWR or 35,000 pounds. The F-450 gets commercial-spec 19. 5-inch wheels and tires, upgraded rear U-joints and new rear leaf springs, new front and rear stabilizer bars, and upgraded shocks. Source: www.trucktrend.com
