Both engines run efficiently at low rpm thanks in part to low-speed lockup capability (down to 900 rpm) on the transmission’s torque converter.

Durable construction, including a high-strength sinter-metal carrier with patented Ford rocker one-way clutch, helps the transmission easily manage the extreme low-end torque of the diesel engine, and the high speeds of the gas engine.

pull the most – confidently.

Information Provided by:

Ford F-Series Super Duty is the only truck in its class offering you up to 31,200 lbs.

max. towing capability.

To help you handle all that weight, Super Duty utilizes trailer sway control. The system monitors the motions of the truck to detect trailer sway and selectively brakes as needed,

helping you maintain control of

the truck and the trailer.

When negotiating an incline, whether in Drive or Reverse, standard hill start assist helps you out by momentarily maintaining brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the truck uphill.

Less manual braking is required of drivers on diesel models for 2015 thanks to improvements in engine braking performance. The diesel’s new larger turbocharger provides more engine-exhaust braking power for improved grade descent control with less wear and tear on the wheel brakes and transmission. Engine-exhaust braking includes a new manual push-button control on the instrument panel this year as well. Like all the best leaders, Super Duty just keeps on improving.
