2016 Ford F-650 and F-750 Get Three Power Levels

The next-generation medium-duty truck from Ford will offer customers three distinct power ratings from the newly upgraded 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo-diesel V-8. The practice of offering multiple power ratings is not new and allows Ford's diverse customer base to tailor power to their needs.

The power ratings for the F-650 and F-750's are:

•     270 horsepower and 675 pounds-feet of torque (best-in-class standard rating)
•     300 hp and 700 pounds-feet of torque
•     330 hp and 725 pounds-feet of torque

All rating levels will offer the same commercial-grade TorqShift six-speed transmission; the powertrains come with a five-year/250,000-mile limited warranty. The new Power Stroke will be offered for all new F-650/750 trucks along with the gasoline 6.8-liter V-10 option, which will continue to use the same TorqShift six-speed transmission.

All 2016 medium-duty trucks will be offered only in two-wheel drive but will come in regular, super and crew-cab configurations. They will be available in spring 2015. To read the full Ford press release, click here.
