Ford Diesel Super Duty Pickup Engines

The 2005 Ford Super Duty offers an unequaled lineup of powertrain options, including the segment’s most powerful gasoline engine.

Ford’s three-valve-per-cylinder head, introduced on the 2004 F-150, is now available for the first time on a V-10 engine, thanks to Ford’s modular engine strategy.  The new 6.8-liter, 3-valve Triton V-10 produces 355 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque – both class-leading figures.

Ford Power Stroke Diesel

The segment’s best-selling diesel engine – Power Stroke – benefits from 10 more pound-feet of torque. The 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel is now rated at 570 pound-feet of torque and 325 horsepower.
Ford’s modular 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton V-8 also migrates to Super Duty. Its three-valve architecture and sophisticated technology, including variable valve timing, help to deliver 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. That’s an improvement of 40 horsepower and 10 pound-feet of torque over the 2004 Super Duty. More than 80 percent of peak torque – nearly 300 pound-feet – is available starting as low as 1,000 rpm.
Both gasoline engines also now benefit from electronic throttle control, which provides economy and performance benefits.

Ford Super Duty Diesel Trucks

For commercial users who need to elevate engine speed to run aftermarket power takeoff (PTO) systems, the new “stationary elevated idle control” feature is now included in the strategy of all Super Duty power trains.  The Ford F-350 and F-450 Super Duty Pickup Trucks are monsters but they are great for real commercial needs.
