The updated Power Stroke V-8 in the 2020 Super Duty makes 475 hp and a staggering 1,050 lb-ft of torque. That's 50 more lb-ft than the Cummins and 140 more than the Duramax turbodiesel in the Silverado HD.

Ford fans rejoice, those engine specs put the 2020 Ford Super Duty back on top of the heavy-duty truck hierarchy. Ford also says that "properly configured" F-450s deliver a best-in-class diesel gooseneck towing maximum of up to 37,000 pounds—up from the 35,000 pounds in the outgoing Super Duty. Conventional towing jumps from 21,000 pounds to 24,200 pounds with the diesel. Maximum towing capacity increases across all Super Duty pickup variants—F-250, F-350, and F-450—for 2020.

For comparison, max gooseneck towing on the Silverado 3500HD and Ram HD is "only" 35,500 pounds and 35,100 pounds, respectively. If hauling bed loads in the bed is more your business, max payload for the Ford is available on the F-350 with the standard 6.2-liter motor and comes in at a class-leading 7,850 pounds. The Chevy and Ram are officially behind the Ford in this category as well, delivering 7,442 and 7,680 pounds, respectively.

Gotta when the manufactures compete, just waiting for job 2 to place an order.

Anyone, Anyone at all, towing even 30,000 lbs? At this point it's like saying one car does 200 mph and this other car goes 210 mph. It does not make the car thats faster better. So while towing my 40 foot Montana at loaded weight of 13000lbs reaches the Summit 20 seconds slower, means nothng to me personally. Ill take reliabilty anyday ....See CP4 injection pump issues..
