Super Duty vehicles will meet and exceed customer demands Ford tells us.
Ford is showing its next F-Series Super Duty pickups, touting its capability, power and technology in the new 2020n class of trucks. The company is coming out with a new 10-speed automatic transmission along with new gas and diesel engines, and much more tech in the truck for drivers and crew.
Our customers have demanding and various needs from towing heavy trailers to construction. “Productivity is their lifeblood and their truck is their biggest tool. The new Super Duty has more power, more payload and towing capability, and better technology than ever to help these customers build a better world.” Is what we hear.
The trucks will be assembled in the United States at Ford’s Kentucky Truck Plant in Louisville and Ohio Assembly Plant in Avon Lake.
Improvements to the new F-Series Super Duty include new gas and diesel engines, an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, chassis upgrades, exterior and interior design updates, and smart advanced technology in towing, payload, and connectivity.
A new Ford-designed and Ford-built 7.3-liter V8 joins the standard 6.2-liter V8 in the Super Duty’s gas engine stable. The Ford-designed and Ford-built third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 is upgraded to deliver more power and torque. An all-new Ford-designed and Ford-built 10-speed heavy-duty TorqShift automatic transmission is paired with the 7.3-liter V8 and third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8.
Ford tells us they are the only manufacturer to design and build all of its heavy-duty engine and transmission combination-ensuring the powertrain works seamlessly with all chassis components and vehicle calibrations.
“With the addition of the 7.3-liter V8, upgrades to our 6.7-liter, and the debut of an all-new 10-speed transmission, we are delivering the strongest, most capable Super Duty powertrain offerings.” Is what we hear.
The 7.3-liter gas V8 engine delivers high performance in a compact package. Based on decades of commercial engine experience, this 7.3-liter is expected to be the most powerful gas V8 in its class, providing durability, ease of maintenance, and the towing and payload capability customers want. It uses an all-new cam-in-block, overhead valve architecture with cast iron block and forged steel crankshaft for maximum durability. Port injection with variable-valve timing optimizes the intake and exhaust to match performance with workloads. Oil jet cool the pistons under heavy loads.
The Super Duty’s third-generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke includes a new 36,000=psi fuel injection system with all-new injectors that precisely meter and spray up to eight times per stroke to control noise levels and optimize combustion. This inboard exhaust diesel V8 features a redesigned electronic-actuated, variable-geometry turbocharger that provides improved pumping efficiency and throttle response. Structural enhancements increase the strength of the cylinder head, block, connecting rods, and bearings to handle higher cylinder pressure and increased output. New steel piston provide higher firing pressure capability and less friction, meaning improved performance and more horsepower and torque than ever.
The truck’s standard 6.2-liter gas V8 rounds out the three engine choices for Super Duty customers. According to Ford, this workhorse offers heavy-duty truck customers proven capability at an affordable price.
Ford is making its all-new 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission available across all three Super Duty engine offering for the new 2020 model. This TorqShift features a wider gear ratio span than the 6-speed and is designed for harsh towing conditions. The heavy-duty transmission continues to offer class-exclusive, live-drive power takeoff, which allows the operator to engage industrial equipment and accessories, such as snowplows, with the truck in motion.
This electrically controlled transmission has selectable drive modes that include normal, tow/haul, eco, slippery, and deep sand and snow. The entire unit is engineered so that even with four extra gears, it fits in the same space as the 6-speed and weighs only 3.5 lbs. more.
For 2020, Ford’s new Pro Trailer Backup Assist makes negating even the largest trailers into the tightest of spaces easier than ever before. With hands off the steering wheel, drivers use that Pro Trailer Backup Assist knob to steer the trailer via the reverse camera. The truck’s Trailer Reverse Guidance system shows trailer angle and direction and provides steering suggestions to most efficiently direct a trailer backward. Both systems are built to accommodate all trailer styles, including fifth-wheel and gooseneck trailers.
ON-BOARD TECH
To keep driver and crew connected, every new 2020 Super Duty includes FordPass Connect embedded 4G LTE modem with Wi-Fi access for up to 10 devices.
Available lane-keeping alert helps you stay between the lines on the road, while the Blind Spot Information System with trailer coverage monitors for vehicles in your blind spots, even when towing. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency aids in avoiding or mitigating collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians. These features are standard on XLT and above Super Duty models. Wireless charging and USB-C ports are added to power your devices.
POWER UPGRADES
Across the range, an enhanced frontend design allows for optimized cooling and lighting performance under heavy loads. For the first time, all dual-rear-wheel Super Duty trucks are fitted with a uniquely designed high-air flow grille optimized for maximum powertrain cooling.
The Super Duty’s LED headlamps have a new look with improved performance, while high series trucks feature continuous signature lighting. An improved front bumper and air dam optimize cooling and make using utility hooks easier.
Decorative appliques on the doors and media bin door have been updated on Lariat, while on Platinum edition trucks, these pieces have been updated to Onyx Argento wood. The interior of the Limited model is refreshed, with colors of Ebony and Highland Tan for a refined, modern feel. The Limited features materials like genuine leather, a coarse ash wood in black and modern brushed aluminum trim.
Ford’s new 2020 F-Series Super Duty will start coming to the dealership this fall.
