What’s the 2024 Ford Super Duty high-output engine?
These Super Duty trucks offer four engine options, but the high-output turbodiesel Power Stroke is by far the most capable. Thanks to an output of 500 horses and 1,200 pound-feet of torque, this engine will help you tow max loads! Super Duty capabilities vary according to body style and equipment, but a properly equipped F-450 with this engine can tow a fifth-wheel or gooseneck trailer weighing up to 40,000 pounds!
Here’s a closer look at each Super Duty engine option:
- 6.8L gas V8 (405 horsepower, 445 lb-ft)

Note that the 6.8-liter gas-powered V8 is standard on the XL truck only! Other F-250 and F-350 trim models come standard with the 7.3-liter gas-powered V8. All of these trucks are available with either Power Stroke engine as an option (except for the Limited, which comes standard with the high-output Power Stroke V8). The F-450 trim models, on the other hand, come standard with the regular Power Stroke turbodiesel engine and offer the high-output version as an option!
