With the Ford F-Series being a popular line of pickup trucks for many years and counting, it’s not an exaggeration to say that when a tough job is ahead, it’s an easy task for a Ford Super Duty. And with the 2024 Ford F-450 SD topping out the range, it’s worth wondering just how much power one can get out of a heavy-duty truck that’s built for the toughest jobs around.

Engine #1: The 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel
The F-450 Super Duty is available only with a diesel engine under the hood, because the F-450 is built for only the heaviest hauling jobs around. At 2,600 RPM, an F-450 equipped with the popular 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel can produce a staggering 475 horsepower. It maxes out with 1,050 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 RPM for a stunning amount of pushing and pulling capability.
Engine #2: The 6.7L High Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel
The 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel’s offerings are plenty for most applications. But for the toughest of jobs, only the toughest motors will do. With the 6.7L High Output Power Stroke Turbo Diesel under the hood, the F-450 offers 500 horsepower at 2,600 RPM and a grin-inducing, 1,200 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 RPM.
How Much Can the F-450 Tow?
Regardless of which motor you choose, the 2024 F-450 can tow a tremendous amount of weight. The 2024 F-450 offers a maximum gooseneck towing capacity of 40,000 lbs when properly equipped. This is available on F-450 Reg Cab versions with the available 6.7L HO diesel engine and outfitted with the Max Tow Package.
What About Payload?
While the exact numbers differ slightly, both powertrains of the F-450 offer plenty of payload capacity. And using the bed gets even easier with the available Onboard Scales with Smart Hitch, which helps track weight and balance as the load gets added to the bed.
