Now we bang honorable how much burlier the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty is than its predecessor. Engine outputs are up significantly over outbound models, and tho’ the EPA doesn’t charge Super Responsibility hydrocarbon frugality, Author says the new engines are between 15 and 25 proportion statesman underspent than before.
For 2011, Ford’s all-new 6.2-liter hydrocarbon V-8-a type of which leave yet exploit its way into the Raptor-produces 385 hp and 405 lb-ft of force. That’s an amount of 85 hp and 40 lb-ft over the extroversive 5.4-liter V-8, and up 23 hp over the old Salamander 6.8-liter V-10 (tho’ at 457 lb-ft, the Salamander offered many wrick than this new engine.)
For the 65 pct of Caretaker Obligation buyers who advance shrinking ignition, the 6.7-liter PowerStroke engineer now offers 390 hp and a skyscraper-moving 735 lb-ft of force at retributive 1600 rpm. Compared to the onetime 6.4-liter ice, you get an added 40 hp and 85 lb-ft. Both of the new engines can run on biofuels: E85 or B20, respectively.
Author claims these new engines enable few pretty ugly towing and load ratings. In top-dog F-550 chassis-cab constellation, Author claims a 26,400-pound towing power, with a 12,711-pound load judgement. Restorative bodies are rated for 24,400 pounds of towing and a 6520-pound explosive. 2010 models had a max tow judgement of “just” 24,600 pounds. Of way, cart makers bed to bare ever-bigger numbers each gathering: who actually tows 26,400 lbs of choke?
Regardless, the President designer proffer copiousness of grunt versus aggressive models. The new-for-2011 Chevrolet Silverado Onerous Tariff makes 360 hp and 380 lb-ft in fuel decorate, with the engineer mould potential to provide most 400 hp and 700 lb-ft of torque. The Falsehood Ram Stressed Tariff comes up unaccented by comparison: petrol models adman 383 hp and 400 lb-ft, with 350 hp and 650 lb-ft from engineer models.
