2019 Ford F-250 – Changes, Engine Specs, Price

It is almost like a rule with all great US truck manufacturer; as soon as they present the new generation of the light-duty truck, the bigger models are in line for refreshments. GM and Ram are already doing that and now the greatest among them will follow the same pattern. After presenting the new F-150, Ford has decided to introduce some changes with its Super Duty Series. A proof for that is the new 2019 Ford F-250, which was spotted on the streets of Dearborn, Michigan, near to Ford headquarters.

The new look will not be drastically changed. The front end will be refreshed. The two-bar, chrome grille will most likely stay unchanged but the headlights and front bumper could be borrowed from the new F-150. The rear side, including taillights, could also come refreshed. Aside cosmetically changes, the new Ford F-250 could arrive with some upgraded mill under the hood and new 10-speed automatic transmission which was first time presented with 2017 Raptor model.

2019 Ford F-250 – Engine and Power

Even though it is nice to have a good looking truck, the most important issue with heavy duty trucks is power. Like all its predecessors, the new 2019 Ford F-250 will be more than competitive in this area. It will offer two engine options under the hood. The petrol one will be 6.2-liter SOHC 2-valve Flex Fuel V8 engine. So far this mill was paired with a TorqShift 6-speed SelectShift-G automatic transmission. This combination delivered 385 horsepower @ 5750 rpm and 430 lb-ft of torque @ 3800 rpm.

The second option is 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbodiesel engine matched with TorqShift Heavy-Duty 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. The output of the diesel engine was 450 horses rpm and 935 lb-ft of torque. If the rumors come true and Ford’s new 10-speed automatic transmission replaces current 6-speed automatic new F-250 might reach up to a whopping 1000 lb-ft of torque. This will significantly improve the current towing power of 21,000 pounds.
