2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty Getting Upgrade to 800 FT-LBS of Torque
Already boasting class-leading payload and towing, Ford has now increased the 2011 F-Series Super Duty’s engine output to ensure it has class-leading numbers in all areas. Originally launched with 390-hp and 735 ft-lbs of torque, Ford is upgrading the truck to deliver 400-hp and 800 ft-lbs of torque. Better yet, owners who already purchased one of the lower-output 2011 models will be able to get a free upgrade from their Ford dealer.
“These numbers are impressive, yes, but that is not why they matter,” Samardzich said. “These numbers matter because our customers say they do. The higher torque means that fleet operators, such as Florida Power & Light, can plow through deep swamps and get to downed power lines faster and more confidently. It means that oil and gas crews in the Northwest can tow up an 8,000-foot grade maintaining a steady speed and using less fuel.”
In addition, F-350 dual rear-wheel (DRW) models will get upgrades that include an increased max payload from 6,520 to 7,070 and a max fifth-wheel tow rating set at 22,600 lbs, up from 21,600 lb.

400hp/800lbs/ft out of the box is absolutely amazing, I’m really interested to see if these motors really hold up, maybe in 10-15 years I’ll be able to afford one
My brother has a new 2011 F-250 diesel. There is such a huge difference in power compared to the 2010, it’s not even close.
It doesn’t matter what cummings comes out with, it is still stuck in a POS dodge. If they made a nice truck to go along with the motor, they may actually sell enough to not pull their parent company down the shitter with them every year.
How many recent years has the f-series outsold everything else? How many recent titles do GM trucks or Dodgetrucks have?
The f-series truck is by far the best truck out there right now. We drove a ton of trucks over the past few months while he was deciding on what to get and the other trucks are complete shit compared to the ford.
