When one of the world’s biggest automakers wants to unveil a truck that is bigger and better than its previous models, why would they choose anywhere else besides Texas? That’s exactly what the Ford Motor Company thought when officials introduced the 2011 Super Duty pickup truck at the Texas State Fair in Dallas this month.
Although Ford has not released or discussed any horsepower or torque specifications for the new truck, officials claim it will have “significantly” more power than any of the current models with the Power Stroke engine. That means the 2011 model will have at least 350 horsepower and have at least 650 lb.-ft. of torque. Some are speculating that the new truck will have about 390 horsepower with 720 lb-ft of torque, but those numbers cannot be confirmed by Ford as of yet. Either way, we can expect something powerful for those tough jobs.
“Our customers do some of America’s toughest jobs,” said Mark Fields, the Ford President. “The new 2011 Super Duty offers them a truck with best-in-class towing and payload, all-new powertrains and even more capability than ever to help them do their jobs.”
Dealers should be getting the 2011 Super Duty pickup trucks early next spring. You may be able to call your Omaha area Ford dealer today and schedule a test drive for when the new trucks arrive.
