Ford F-350 / F-450 / F-550 Powertrain and Chassis

Super Duty Chassis Cabs have power and torque, where and when you need it.

Powertrain options include the segment's most powerful gasoline engine.

The 6.8-liter, 3-valve Triton V-10 produces 362 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque - both class-leading figures.

The Power Stroke Turbodiesel is rated at 325 horsepower and 570 pound-feet of torque.

Ford's modular 5.4-liter, 3-valve Triton V-8, available on some F-350 models, has a three-valve architecture and sophisticated technology, including variable valve timing, delivering 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. More than 85 percent of peak torque - nearly 300 pound-feet - is available starting as low as 1,500 rpm.

All engines benefit from electronic throttle control, which provides economy and performance benefits. For commercial users who need elevated engine speed to run aftermarket power takeoff (PTO) systems, the "stationary elevated idle control" feature is now available with all powertrains.

All engines offer the TorqShift automatic transmission, with five forward speeds and Tow-Haul Mode, which provides improved control uphill and downhill, using a tailored shift strategy and engine braking as necessary.
