Ford announced Wednesday the power ratings for its 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel, which is set to be available in the 2016 F-650/F-750.
Ford’s F-650/F-750 medium-duty truck lineup will feature three engine power ratings for the 2016 model year, including best-in-class standard diesel horsepower and torque, and no vocational limits on top ratings.
The three diesel power levels available for the 2016 Ford are a 270 horsepower/675 lb.-ft. torque (best-in-class standard); a 300 horsepower /700 lb.-ft. torque; and a 330 horsepower/725 lb.-ft. torque
“While other medium-duty truck manufacturers restrict top horsepower and torque ratings to certain applications, such as emergency services, the all-new F-650/F-750 will arrive with no vocational restrictions,” John Ruppert, general manager Ford Commercial Vehicle Sales and Marketing, says. “We’re giving our customers the power of choice to determine what’s best for their business.”

The second generation 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel features a commercial-grade six-speed TorqShift HD automatic transmission. The powertrain offers a five-year/250,000-mile limited warranty.
Other innovations on the 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel are its compacted graphite iron engine block that Ford says enhances durability and helps reduce noise, vibration and harshness. The reverse-flow layout places the exhaust inside the engine’s V-shape, while the air intake is positioned on the outside of the V. This segment-exclusive design naturally improves a variety of attributes.
