Ford's New 1100Nm Super Duty Chassis Cab Can Carry 5.8 Tonnes
The specs for the 2020 Ford Super Duty truck series have landed, revealing a torque boost for the top-of-the-line diesel and a payload capacity of almost six tonnes.
The 6.7-litre Power Stroke V8 diesel offers “dyno-certified” 330bhp and 825lb ft (1118Nm) at just 1600rpm, travelling through an all-new 10-speed TorqShift automatic gearbox with handy 300lb ft power take-off capability standard on diesel models and optional on petrols. The new torque figure is a 75lb ft rise over the previous model.
There’s also a 7.3-litre big-block petrol V8 version, because of course there is. That one delivers 350bhp and 468lb ft, a torque figure that Ford says is the best in the class for a gasoline-powered truck. Both peak power and peak torque arrive at 3900rpm, according to the press release.
That new gearbox, shared across both engines, is tuned to keep engine speeds in the sweet spot of torque, making it easier to tow and haul large loads. Speaking of which, the peak weight the trucks can haul is about 5.8 tonnes, or 12,750lbs. Strong? Yes.

The 2020 version of the 6.7 is rated at 425hp and 1050lb-ft. Idk if that’s a rating the flywheel rather than wheels or what, but that’s the figure I’ve seen passed around. All the hd diesels have 900+ torque.
Manufacturers always reduce power output for chassis cab trucks compared to their pickup line to try to increase longevity and get fuel economy. Theres a lot of differences between them, the chassis cabs get much larger fuel tanks, far less options, much heavier suspension and axles and different frame rails as they’re built for more payload over towing.
The 7.3 is rated at 430hp and 475lb-ft, as per motor trend, who used the same specs I mentioned for the diesel as well.
This is a rather unconventional car throttle article. Getting tired of reporting on formula one? 😅
Yes but it can’t tow as much as the Ram which is basically all a lot of Americans really want is a truck that has the best towing
