2011 Ford F-650

Ford eliminated the 6.8-liter V-10 gas engine from their 2011 Super Duty pickups; nevertheless, the company launched the first version of the 6.8 engine in their 2012 F-650 medium-duty chassis truck which was the firm’s first introduction of the 6.8 engine. It is equipped with a completely new powertrain, which comprises a 6.7-liter V-8 engine conceived and manufactured by Ford. The Power Stroke V-8 turbodiesel is a powerful engine. In addition, a completely new 6.2-liter gasoline V-8 engine was introduced to the lineup. Both engines provide considerably enhanced horsepower and torque and outstanding fuel economy compared to their predecessors. A fresh new 6R140 heavy-duty “TorqShift” six-speed automatic gearbox with the look of manual SelectShift control is connected to each of the engines. This article focuses on the 2011 Ford F-650.

Overview:

The Ford F-650 has 2 trim levels:

  • XL:  Driver’s seat with a high back and 40 percent width in Steel Gray HD vinyl and a head restraint
  • XLT:  Front-passenger seat with fold-down armrest and cupholders for two people in Steel Gray fabric at 70 percent of the seat width.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The F-Series Super Duty, introduced in 2011, has the greatest towing and payload in its segment. The most significant enhancements are those to the Ford F-450 pickup’s productivity, which will help customers who haul heavy-duty trailers the most often. The weight that was not required was reduced, which resulted in increased fuel economy and faster acceleration. Despite these changes, the fact that it is still a Super Duty F-450 pickup with its world-class combined weight rating of 33,000 pounds should not be overlooked.

The Cummins inline-six diesel engine is also available in Ram HD pickups and chassis cabins. The Cummins engine is a derivative of the six-cylinder oil burner found in the Ram HD pickup and chassis cabin. Because diesel emissions standards have gotten more strict, the cost of this oil burner has climbed in line with the cost of other diesel engines.

Safety

Aside from the Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Handling, and an Electronic Locking Differential, further increased towing capabilities, off-road control, and safety additions include an electronic tire pressure monitor and additional side curtain airbags. Hill Descent Control is also available. Improvements in handling and ride quality were among the primary objectives of the 2011 year’s Superheavy model. The engineers tuned the suspension and frame of the current Super Duty, notably the spring rates and leaf springs, and the internal valves inside the shock absorbers were changed to boost towing capacity and payload while further refining the ride quality and handling.

Revised Steering System

In addition, the steering gear is brand new. It’s a 4×2 F-250, and the F-350 Super Duty has a revised steering system geometry that makes better use of the dual I-beam suspension, which combines the benefits of independent suspension with the durability of beam axle suspension to provide a better overall package. Creating gears for steering that are symmetric from left to right has resulted in enhanced reaction, precision, and on-center steering control, among other benefits.

Improved Comfort

Improvements have been made to the aesthetics both inside and outside the vehicle. Customers will be delighted to find that a new 4.2-inch LCD has been introduced; the Productivity Screen is now in place to ensure that the Super Duty’s potential was fully used in 2011. Also available is the option for five buttons in the steering wheel, which enables customers to go through a variety of menu choices, including fuel economy and towing efficiency, that is not accessible on a Super Duty vehicle.

Power and Transmission

The powerful 6.8 is rated at 362 horsepower, comparable to a diesel engine. Additionally, instead of being linked with Ford’s old 5R110 five-speed automatic transmission, it is partnered with the 6.8 with the brand new 6R140 six-speed gearbox that has quadruple overdrive ratios and the ability to take off quickly and efficiently. Even though diesel engines are normally 30 percent more efficient than gasoline engines, Ford hopes to reduce that advantage to 10 percent with the right powertrain settings when employing the 6.8-liter/6R140 engine and transmission combo.
