New Super Duty on the horizon. Might be the first diesel having over 500hp and over 1000ft/lb torque. No values have been released yet. I do like the photos of the front end and the read dually fenders. Will have the 10 speed transmission. Wonders if it will will then give consistent mpg over 20 for either the new 7.3 pushrod gas burner or the upped power levels of the 6.7 Power Stroke.

I'd still like to see the grille removed from the headlights. Square the sides of the grille and headlights off and it would just look so much better IMO.

 

There will be two grills. One for the diesel and one for the gas. The red truck is a gasser and the white truck is the diesel in the fox news link.

here is another video on the 2020.

 

Third Gen Power Stroke:
Fuel pressure up to 36,000 psi
Injectors capable of 8 injections per stroke
Servo controlled turbo/improved turbo
Larger Rods and Bearings
Steel Pistons
Improved fuel economy

 

what is the current psi?

 

No big external changes except for the grille. Why mess up a good thing! My '17 will be 2 yrs old next month and I love it so far. The 20's look good to me and a good choice for someone who needs a new truck.

 

read some where 29,000

 

I got my '18 f550 service truck a couple months ago so I won't be getting another new truck for atleast 5 years.....but I haven't been this excited about the new superdutys since 2011!

 

I'm a fan of the tweaks! I was hoping to see a bigger center screen change similar to the new Rams, I'm sure it's coming. (New Ram HD gets the massive screen like the half ton, and a whopping 17 speaker 750 watt sound system).


Just my opinion before people get worked up, but I don't think the Pro Trailer Backup Assist has a place in a Superduty. The F-150, sure, as maybe some drivers less exposed to towing get some assistance the odd time, but I feel like if your towing demands lead you to a purpose-built Superduty for the weight (thus size) that you don't see in an F-150, the driver should be able to manually maneuver and be in control of that load without assistance. All I picture is some guy who just financed a 45' toyhauler and Superduty with zero down trying to reverse in a campground, too preoccupied with the dial at his knee instead of watching what his trailer and front end of his truck is doing.

 

I currently have a '15 cummins with the 8.4" touchscreen. a lot of the various controls are all through the touchscreen such as heated seats, steering wheel, and HVAC controls. while I think the new giant touch screens look great, I think they will be a pain in the *** to use. driving on bumpy roads where you have to hit an icon to take you to the screen you want, then have to hit another icon to do whatever you want, I find myself taking my eyes off the road longer and a lot of times you press the wrong icon. I think there is something to be said for tactile response from good old buttons. ordered a '19 platinum last month. even happier now because I don't like the grill change on the '20's. also, I do not like to buy 1st year model big changes such as the new 10 speed transmission, done that before and learned my lesson,

 

The basic 10spd is already used in the F150. The SD will be a beefier version and is very similar to the 6 speed. Did you watch the video above?

 

I agree the touch screens are not a efficient as real buttons. I can pretty much adjust any function on my current truck with having to take my eyes off the road.

 

Your correct. Hopefully the higher pressures reduce soot and ultimately reduce regen frequency.

 

 

In my opinion all these power numbers (HP, torque, PSIs) are salesmanship ploys, trying to keep up with the Johnson's. Half those power numbers served us quite well just a few short years ago (well maybe 40 yrs).

Now work towards getting significantly better fuel economy would appeal to me; I'm currently seeing 8-9 mpg towing.
