Rumor: Ford to power-up its 6.7-liter power stroke V8 diesel engine

Sources say that within the next year, it’s likely that Ford will power-up its all-new 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 diesel engine.

This action is said to be in response to GM’s unveiling of best-in-class power ratings for its 6.6-liter Duramax V-8 diesel. Last February, Ford revealed that the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V-8 for its 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty will deliver 390hp and 735 pounds-feet of torque. Not to be outdone, in early March, GM said that its 6.6-liter Duramax V-8 diesel for the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra HD pickups will generate 397 hp and 765 pounds-feet of torque.

These numbers are all fine and dandy but I say put both under constant peak torque pulling peak load and see which one quits first.

Good now change the body instead of just changing the front end. seriously, how many facelifts can you have before everyone realizes you are just old. At least upgrade the rest of the truck. From the A pillar back it is the same as the origional super duty that came out over 10 years ago.
