If this is indeed truly the case, the 6.2 isnt that much better than the old 5.4, numbers wise for the over 10k trucks. I can't believe this would be true.
Im not 100% on this but i know ford likes to lower the power on there cab trucks. It could be for cab models ordered for utility bed, etc etc.
After all you can just get a diablo tuner or something to that nature and run in a performance tune for a regular truck. I dont see them doing anything other than programing diff.

I've noticed they lower numbers for the cab & chassis but this is under the regular pick up section??
I dont believe the fleet section shows the regular model trucks. Only the work models.
Well when you select the truck to spec out it allows for Ranger, 150, 250, 350, 350 chassis, 450 chassis, 550 chassis. But maybe its that. On that link I provided you can click on "Trucks" on the left column and see the available truck options.
On fords regular site even the 450 shows the full hp rating. Its only those fleet work trucks that are cut back.
Not quite.
It's the chassis/cab trucks as opposed to pickups. Because even the F350 chassis/cab is rated for a higher GVWR than the F450 pickup trucks. This puts it over 14,000 lbs, which puts it in an emissions category that requires a different emissions certification.
Attaining that requires the de-tuned PSD, but both the v10 and 6.2 are at their full designed horsepower.
On edit: Unfortunately due to government intervention the advertised horsepower ratings are now very misleading to everyone. I wish something was present on the Ford advertising literature that explained this better!
