Heavy duty truck lovers have been waiting for these figures for a while, so let's just cut to the main course. The 2011 Ford Super Duty can be had with two engines: the 6.2-liter gasoline-powered V8 found in the upgraded SVT Raptor, which puts out 385 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque, or an all-new, Ford-designed 6.7-liter turbo-diesel V8 producing 390 hp and a pavement pummeling 735 lb-ft of twist (at 1,600 rpm).

The latter engine in the F450 is able to tow some 24,400 pounds and has a maximum payload of 4,920 pounds. The F350, which is the closest competitor to the Chevrolet, GMC or Ram equivalent, comes to the fight with 21,600 pounds of towing capacity and 6,520 pounds of payload (if you're curious why the F450's maxium payload is less than the F350's, check out this explanation half-way down the page). Each engine is mated to a 6R140 heavy-duty TorqShift six-speed automatic transmission.

Our First Drive of the new King of the Hill will be forthcoming, but you can get all the details in the press release after the jump. Oh, and General Motors, there's a big *** ball in your court.

I love Ford. They should have accepted that Tug-of-War request from GM, they'd have dominated!!

I passed a convoy of about 10 of these a few months ago on I65 just south of Louisville, all with Michigan tags. I was pretty excited that I got to see a handful of a model not available for sale yet.

Nice truck.

Amazingly a Bentley can make as much torque!

Cant wait to see what kind of HP/Tq it makes once somome puts an exhuast and a programer on it.

J.P.

Can it put out that more TQ at 1500 RPM?
