Last week, Ford unveiled the next generation line of 2023 Super Duty pick ups. Here’s everything you need to know
Today we’ve wrangled one of Ford’s most capable pickups for a thorough look from top to bottom, and then head out on the road for a pair of POV test drives. For 2015, the Super Duty line of pickups gets a new optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V-8 which outputs 440 horsepower and a stump-decimating 860 pound-feet of torque. Naturally the F350’s towing capacity has risen as well, with the maximum fifth-wheel/gooseneck trailer figure now pegged at an astronomical 26,500 pounds.
Ford has announced the engine options for the 2011 F-150, and what a lineup it is. Three engines will be available at launch, the base 3.7-liter V-6 and a 5.0-liter V-8 that are both shared with the Mustang (both are detuned a bit for the pickup), and the 6.2-liter V-8 that is the base motor on the F-250 Super Duty. The 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 from the Taurus SHO will be available in early 2011.
The Super Duty is packed full of technology that exists to make life easier for the F-Series’ extremely loyal customer base. We were recently invited to get a preview of the Super Duty marketing campaign first hand, and Ford is taking an interesting approach.
When we were invited to drive the 2011 Ford Super Duty pickup, we suspected it would be somewhat impressive. Its little brother, the F-150 has never let us down, and after our recent week with the SVT Raptor, we knew that Ford had some good things on its horizon. What we found with the updated work truck, besides a nice evolution of past Fords, was a notable level of refinement in a vehicle that feels like it can do it all.
