The 2020 lineup of Super Duty chassis cabs is built even more capable, powerful, and work-ready featuring an available all-new 7.3L V-8, all-new 10-speed TorqShift transmission, available third-generation 6.7L Power Stroke V-8 diesel engine, and a 6.2L gas V-8.
The all-new available 7.3L V-8 is the biggest displacement gas engine in the class, according to Ford, and delivers dyno-certified 350 hp at 3,900 rpm and best-in-class 468 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,900 rpm all in a compact, versatile engine.
“We don’t operate in a vacuum in Ford commercial trucks, we talk to the customers, dealers, and upfitters who know how hard our trucks are worked,” said Nathan Oscarson, commercial truck marketing manager. “That kind of real-world feedback helps us engineer the level of commercial trucks that the industry demands.”
Maximum grunt comes from the available 6.7L Power Stroke V-8 offering dyno-certified 330 horsepower at 2,600 rpm and 825 ft.-lb. of torque at just 1,600 rpm – and improvement of 75 ft.-lb. versus the previous model-year. An all-new heavy-duty 10-speed TorqShift automatic transmission is standard across all engine offerings with available live drive power takeoff (PTO). This new 10-bolt power take off provision is capable of a best-in-class maximum 300 ft.-lbs. of stationary torque and comes standard on diesel-equipped models.

“From the 6.2 V-8 to the 7.3L V-8 to the heavy-duty 10-speed, these powertrains are always in the sweet spot of the power band for maximum efficiency and capability in towing and hauling,” said Greg Stout, heavy duty drivetrain manager.
F-series Super Duty Chassis Cab models include best-in-class maximum payload of 12,750 pounds, according to Ford, which lets customers mount everything from utility bodies to boom cranes, according to Ford. Vocational customization is simplified with available programmable upfitter interface module and drivers appreciate functionality like available flat under seat storage.
Ford Super Duty Chassis Cabs are #1 in commercial truck Class 2 through Class 5 registrations with 65.6% total share of the U.S market, proving that when the power goes out, when fires must be fought or when bridges need building - it’s dedicated tradesmen in Ford Super Duty Chassis Cabs who come to the rescue.
New Ford Telematics and Data Services are available to help commercial customers operate their fleets more efficiently. Ford Telematics enables fleet managers to improve asset utilization, optimize running costs, protect their vehicles and encourage better driver behavior. This advanced technology is enabled in the Super Duty lineup by the inclusion of standard FordPass Connect with 4G LTE Wi-Fi for up to 10 devices that keep the truck, drivers, and crews connected at all times.
Those uptime gains from smart technology continue with Pre-Collision Assist with Automated Emergency Braking and Audible Lane Departure Warning, which can help operators avoid or mitigate collisions.
Super Duty Chassis cab models are available to purchase now.
For customers who need additional payload or need to mount heavier upfits but don’t want to move into a larger truck, the all-new Ford F-600 Super Duty chassis cab is just the right fit between F-550 and F-650 and will
be available for order later in 2020.
