Most Powerful Ford Super Duty Ever Delivers Optional 7.3-Liter V8

Suppose it’s called Super Duty for a reason and Ford’s 2020 F-Series Super Duty offerings certainly live up to the moniker.

The most eye popping upgrade for the 2020 model year trucks is the new in-house designed and built 7.3-liter V8. This V8 option joins the already available standard 6.2-liter. On the diesel side the third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke engine got an upgrade and comes with the all-new 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission, as does the 7.3-liter gas option. The new transmission will also be available for the standard 6.7-liter gas option and despite having four additional gear options it takes up the same amount of space as the 6-speed with minimal weight increase. These upgrades not only give the truck its highest power ratings, but its highest fifth-wheel towing and payload ratings.

All this while continuing to push the envelope on in cab technology. Via Ford:

New F-Series Super Duty now offers class-exclusive Pro Trailer Backup Assist, while its Trailer Reverse Guidance is now compatible with fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers; standard FordPass Connect with 4G LTE modem and available wireless charging keep you connected; smart driver-assist features such as automatic emergency braking are standard on XLT series and above.

The 2020 F-Series Super Duty will begin hitting showrooms this fall.
