A review of the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty has been posted over at LeftLaneNews.com. 'The new Super Duty trucks feature an all-new series of powerplants starting with that Ford-built 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 turbocharged diesel engine. Designed and built in-house, it features a class-leading 390-horsepower and 735 lb-ft. of torque. For those keeping track, that's a net gain of 40-ponies, and 85 lb-ft. of twist, but those aren't the only important numbers. With new-for-2010 federal emission standards for diesels, Ford has chosen to use Diesel Emissions Fluid (DEF), basically a urea-based agent, which is user-serviceable by a filler nozzle located next to the fuel receptacle. The end result is best-in-class fuel economy and biodiesel compatibility up to B20 (20-percent bio-diesel). The system, in theory, isn't much different than what ze Germans have been offering on luxury sedans and SUVs.'
