FORD SUPER DUTY A TOWING BEAST

- Driving.ca

Ford’s new 2020 Super Duty has taken the title for “bestin-class towing,” the automaker says, boasting its truck can haul a maximum 37,000 pounds (16,782 kilograms) on a gooseneck trailer. Equipping the pickup with the venerable 6.7-litre Power Stroke diesel should theoretica­lly make it capable of lugging 32,500 lbs. (14,741 kg) if using a fifth wheel, or 24,200 lbs. (10,976 kg) via a convention­al hitch. It pulls it off thanks to 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. Specific payload and towing capacities for all engines vary, depending on body style and axle ratio. The 2020 Super Duty should hit Ford dealership­s later this year.
