LimogesMan • View posts Ontario, Canada Senior Member Joined: 10/26/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/04/12 04:20pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Yes. And it's 800lbs. Torque is what you need from the get go.

Then the Duramax came out at 765tq. So ford increased the tq rating to 800 later in 2011. Now all 2011 and 2012s are 800tq. 2010 Cougar 322QBS 5er 2007 Dodge 3500 SRW Megacab, 4x4, 5.9L Cummins, 3.73, 48RE auto HYPERTECH MAX ENERGY Scangauge2 for Boost, Coolant temp, rail press & Trans Temp PICS Collision Reconstructionist, CDR (automotive "black box") download technician/analyst 4x4ord • View posts Canada Senior Member Joined: 12/23/2010 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/04/12 07:53pm Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Mine had already been updated when I bought it but the huge torque that these trucks put to the rear axle is very noticeable as compared to older 4 speed or 5 speed automatics. The new Ford is capable of putting 11,000 ft lbs of torque to the rear axle when in 1st gear. My old '04 Cummins was able to put about 5000 ft lbs to the rear axle. 2011 F350 SRW short box 4x4 CC 6.7 PS King Ranch B&W TurnoverBall and Companion 2003 Citation Supreme 34 RLTS jvernon • View posts ok New Member Joined: 12/10/2011 View Profile Offline Posted: 02/05/12 08:06am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator i have a 2010 f250 (650 lbs of torque) curious the difference to upgrade to 800lbs of torque agesilaus • View posts North Florida Senior Member Joined: 05/06/2008 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/05/12 08:53am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator I can't imagine upgrading for that reason unless you are having a problem pulling with your F250. There were a lot of other changes made at the same model year tho.

And likely get better fuel economy as well. RedRocket204 • View posts Coastal Oregon Senior Member Joined: 05/22/2010 View Profile Posted: 02/05/12 09:19am Link  |  Quote  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator SRW long box with 800lbs feet of torque with 9000lbs on the "bumper" hitch (nothing else loaded in the bed mind you) means I have to be careful when starting from a dead stop to not spin the rear tires in certain situations even on dry pavement. OEM 18" Michelins. That load has also never slowed me down while ascending hills/mountains of reasonable grades. I could have always gone faster, above 65mph, but there is no reason for me to go any faster.

I'd think empty you'd notice little, but the heavier you're towing the more those extra 150ft-lb would come into play... Would be fun to drive a late 90s-early 2000s diesel with ~500ft-lb, then a mid-2000s with ~600-650ft-lb, then one of the newer ~800ft-lb monsters towing the same heavy trailer, over the same 15-mile stretch of mountains, to see just how much difference there'd be. My guess: something like my 02 7.3L, with 505ft-lb, maybe 40-45mph up the mountain, the 600/650ft-lb class maybe 50-53mph, the newer 800ft-lb'ers maybe 60-62mph. Of course newer 6-speed autos vs. 5-speeds & of course the older 4-speeds make this an unfair fight, but it's still fun to speculate on.
