Photos of the New 2019 Ford Super Duty Lineup

Before we even hear the official power ratings and tow capacities, Ford's latest heavy-duty pickups have our attention.

With big power comes big capability, and Ford is promising all that and more on the updated F-series Super Duty lineup.

The Blue Oval has released the first details on the 2020 models of its heavy-duty pickup trucks, which Ford says will have the most powerful engines and the highest payload and tow ratings in Super Duty history.

While the company remains mum on the official torque numbers and towing capacities—at least until later this week at the Chicago auto show—we expect both to exceed the Super Duty's current 935 lb-ft of torque and 35,000-pound maximum towing capacity.

In addition to the increased power output and hauling capability, the refreshed Fords also receive a new 10-speed automatic transmission, chassis enhancements, more high-tech features, and subtle exterior and interior revisions.

Until the all-important torque and towing ratings are released, the big news is that the Super Duty will now offer two gasoline-powered V-8 engines. Along with the standard 6.2-liter V-8, which carries over unchanged, an all-new 7.3-liter V-8 will be available.

Ford claims it will be the most powerful gas V-8 in its class. The cast-iron mill will feature a cam-in-block overhead-valve architecture, variable-valve timing, and other modern technology.

The company's legendary Power Stroke diesel engine is also significantly overhauled for 2020, with the 6.7-liter V-8 adding an upgraded fuel-injection system that is said to optimize combustion and control noise levels.

Other meaningful enhancements include a redesigned turbocharger and stronger internal components for more horsepower and torque than the previous diesel engine, which developed 440 horsepower and 935 lb-ft.

While that torque rating is already higher than the Duramax diesel (910 lb-ft) that is available on the heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the all-new Cummins diesel found in the Ram 2500 and 3500 makes up to 1000 lb-ft of torque. Based on recent history, we expect Ford to exceed that number.

All three Super Duty engines will be available with an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the current six-speed automatic.

Ford says this heavy-duty transmission has a wider gear-ratio span than the old six-speed and is only 3.5 pounds heavier while not taking up any more space under the truck.

The new 10-speed automatic will still allow the user to activate accessories and equipment such as snowplows while the truck is moving, and the transmission also features selectable drive modes.

While huge towing capacities and massive power ratings grab headlines in heavy-duty-truck land, these behemoths are also judged by how luxurious their cabins are and how fancy their high-tech options are.
