Turbo diesel buyers will be interested in the Turbo Diesel Ford Super Duty specs. The 2011 Super Duty sports a newly designed 6.7 liter Power Stroke V8 diesel engine that is quiet, fuel efficient and packs plenty of torque. The Select Shift Automatic transmission has been updated so that it now has two independent modes – Progressive Range and Full Manual. Engineering changes have produced a vehicle that can haul or tow large loads with control and stability.

Power Stroke Turbo Diesel Engine

Ford's new diesel engine uses a high-pressure common rail fuel injection system. The engine block is made from compacted graphite iron, and its cylinder heads are made from aluminum. It incorporates an over-head valve system that uses 32 vales, which provides four valves per cylinder. The engine can obtain 400 HP at 2,800 RPMs, and produces 800 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 RPMs. The Single-Sequential Turbocharged engine runs on B-20 Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel, and integrates an Intelligent oil-life monitor.

Automatic SelectShift Transmission

The newly designed transmission allows the driver to select the mode in which the transmission operates. In the Full Manual mode, shifting is completely dependent on the driver. The full range of the gearbox is available, and each gear can be singly selected. The Progressive Range setting allows the driver to limit the range of gears used, so that overdrive can be locked-out to produce consistent speeds on hilly terrain.

Towing and Hauling

The Super Duty integrates trailer sway control with Tow/Haul Mode engine exhaust braking to provide stability when towing or hauling. It also comes equipped with Hill Start Assist/Hill Descent control, built-in TBC, a new style tow hitch package, tailgate step, and Electronic Locking Rear Differential.

The new Turbo Diesel Ford Super Duty was designed and built to be a true working vehicle, which is fuel efficient and powerful.
