The Ford Super Duty comes in myriad configurations, with multiple trim levels, four weight divisions, two box sizes (6.75 feet and 8 feet), with the majority available in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Within some limitations applicable to certain trim levels, you can have a Ford Super Duty pickup just about any way you could possibly want it.
A 5.4-liter V8 with 300 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque is standard on most models. The F-350 Crew Cab DRW (dual rear wheels) has the 6.8-liter V10 with 362 horsepower and 457 pound-feet of torque. Both the V10 and 6.4-liter turbodiesel V8 (350 horsepower, 650 pound-feet) are optional across the F-250/F-350 spectrum. The F-450 comes only with the diesel. A six-speed manual is standard, a five-speed automatic is available.
