Heavy-Duty Diesel Performance and Off-Road Readiness
At the heart of this truck is the Powerstroke 6.7L V-8 diesel direct injection, intercooled turbo, diesel, engine with 475HP, paired with a smooth-shifting 10-Speed Automatic transmission. Power is delivered through a part-time Four Wheel Drive system equipped with an electronic shift transfer case, dual lead-acid AGM batteries, and a 3.31 electronic-locking rear axle for enhanced traction under load. Built to tackle rugged conditions in Midville, the factory-installed FX4 Off-Road Package upgrades capability with off-road specifically tuned shock absorbers, transfer case and fuel tank skid plates, and Hill Descent Control. Trailering confidence comes standard thanks to an integrated trailer brake controller, Class V tow rating, trailer sway control, and Dynamic Hitch Assist. A Tough Bed spray-in pickup bed liner and integrated boxside steps ensure the truck bed remains protected and easily accessible during heavy-duty daily operations.
