Once you’ve seen the officially released power rating of Ford’s 2011 F-Series Super Duty, you’ll surely forget those agonizing months of waiting. And here are the complete numbers why:
385 hp (at 5,500 rpm) and 405 pounds-feet of torque (at 4,500 rpm) are the ratings for the all-new 2-valve SOHC 6.2-liter gasoline V-8. While for the 4-valveOHV 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 turbodiesel, it’s rated at 390 hp (at 2,800 rpm) and a tremendous (for lack of a more powerful word) 735 pounds-feet (at 1,600 rpm). All of these can be found inside of your F-250, F-350 and F-450 pickups. And for the F-450 and up chassis cabs, they’re rated at 330 hp and 660 pounds-feet. Putting all of these in simpler terms, the new 6.3 liter V8 has more horsepower than both the 5.4-liter gas V-8 and the optional 6.8-liter V-10 from the outgoing 2010 Super Duty. Can you imagine what you can do with the increase in horsepower and pulling capabilities? Man, tremendous is really an understatement.
