The 2020 lineup of Super Duty chassis cabs is built even more capable, powerful, and work-ready featuring an available all-new 7.3L V-8, all-new 10-speed TorqShift transmission, available third-generation 6.7L Power Stroke V-8 diesel engine, and a 6.2L gas V-8.
The all-new available 7.3L V-8 is the biggest displacement gas engine in the class, according to Ford, and delivers dyno-certified 350 hp at 3,900 rpm and best-in-class 468 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,900 rpm all in a compact, versatile engine.

“We don’t operate in a vacuum in Ford commercial trucks, we talk to the customers, dealers, and upfitters who know how hard our trucks are worked,” said Nathan Oscarson, commercial truck marketing manager. “That kind of real-world feedback helps us engineer the level of commercial trucks that the industry demands.”
Maximum grunt comes from the available 6.7L Power Stroke V-8 offering dyno-certified 330 horsepower at 2,600 rpm and 825 ft.-lb. of torque at just 1,600 rpm – and improvement of 75 ft.-lb. versus the previous model-year. An all-new heavy-duty 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission is standard across all engine offerings with available live drive power takeoff (PTO). This new 10-bolt power take off provision is capable of a best-in-class maximum 300 ft.-lbs. of stationary torque and comes standard on diesel-equipped models.
