The new Heavy-Duty Pickup King is here.
Ford revealed the 2020 F-Series SUPER Duty pickup earlier in the year, but did not reveal all details. Ford failed to disclose the company’s most important metrics for heavy-duty pickup trucks, namely towing and payload capacity. Ford published details about the new 7.3-liter gasoline engine. However, towing figures have remained mysterious – at least until now. Ford has the numbers, and they are quite impressive. According to Dearborn, Ford earned several “best in-class” designations.

Ford’s 6.7-liter Power Stroke Diesel is the best choice for F-Series Super Duty pickups. It produces 475 horsepower (354 Kilowatts) as well as 1,050 pound feet (1,423 Newton-meters). The engine can tow up to 37,000 pounds (16.782 kilograms), for gooseneck trailers. For fifth-wheel towing, it is 32,500 pounds (14.741 kg), and for conventional towing, it is 24,200 (10.976 kg).
Ford says that the 6.2-liter gasoline engine V8 is a better choice if the diesel engine is not your preferred powertrain. It can carry 7,850 pounds (3.560 kg) of payload and is another “best in-class” Ford product. It produces 385 horsepower (287 kW) as well as 430 lb/ft (583 Nm), of torque. The third and final engine choice is the 7.3-liter gasoline V8. It produces 430 horsepower (320 kW) as well as 475 lb/ft (644 Nm), of torque. The 2020 Super Duty’s maximum towing and payload capacities are dependent on many factors, including the body style and engine ratio.
Ford may have gone all out when it introduced its F-Series Super Duty truck for 2020, but don’t let the fancy looks fool you. This isn’t an entirely new model. The 2020 Super Duty is an updated version of the truck you see today. The truck features a new grille and lighting elements. It will be available at dealers later in the year.
