DO MORE WITH
THE DIESEL LEADER.

Designed, engineered and built by Ford, our 2nd-generation

6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel engine2 produces the power
and torque you need to get the job done.

Best-in-class standard 860 lb.-ft. of torque and 440 hp
are facilitated in part by a large turbocharger, which helps
improve airflow and performance. You’ll really appreciate it
when towing heavy loads uphill and at high altitudes.

Best-in-class diesel fuel economy3 is maintained with

the help of high-pressure fuel injectors that achieve a
clean, efficient burn.

Power upfits any time, whether the truck is in motion or at a
complete stop. Our class-exclusive live-drive power takeoff
(PTO) provision2 lets you power upfits whenever the diesel
engine is running. It keeps the job going with an output gear
linked directly to the engine crankshaft.

Proven in over 12 million miles of cumulative testing and
real-world use under extreme conditions, this B20-capable
engine is the most tested Power Stroke diesel ever. From
120°F scorching heat to –40°F bone-chilling cold. Rest
assured, it’s BuiltFord Tough.

RULE THE CLASS
WITH 6.2L V8 GAS.

The Built Ford Tough® 6.2L 2-valve V8 gives you the
most power and torque of any standard gas engine in
the class: 385 hp and 405 lb.-ft. of torque. Designed,
engineered, built and torture-tested by Ford, this
state-of-the-art E85-capable engine is the standard
powerplant on F-250 and F-350.

2016 SUPER DUTY®

Ease your heavy-duty workload with lots of low-rpm
torque. The gas engine’s stiff SOHC valvetrain with
roller-rocker shafts enables an intake- and exhaust-port
layout that optimizes airflow, helping it produce plenty
of torque down low.

Alternative fuel options include a CNG/Propane
Gaseous Engine Prep Package that readies your truck
to be upfit for compressed natural gas (CNG), propane
autogas, or as a bi-fuel vehicle with the ability to
seamlessly switch between CNG or propane and gasoline.

Providing flexibility and extended range, trucks upfit
to a bi-fuel system include a tank for each type of fuel.
Contact your local Ford Dealer for ordering details.
By purchasing a Super Duty upfit for CNG or propane,
you may even qualify for state incentives related to
alternative-fuel use, infrastructure or vehicles. Visit
www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/laws for details.

PULL THE MOST – CONFIDENTLY.

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

of

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,

2

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 thanks to engine braking
performance. The diesel’s turbocharger
provides engine-exhaust braking power for
grade descent control with less wear and tear
on the wheel brakes and transmission. Engine­exhaust braking includes a manual push-button
control on the instrument panel. Super Duty
just keeps on helping you get it done.
