Ford's Super Duty pickups are large in size, and they have also offered one of the larger engine selections in the heavy duty pickup segment. While not nearly as diverse as the options for the F-150, the Super Duty has had available two different gas V8s, and two different outputs of diesel V8. That's changing for the 2027 model year. It's dropping half the options. The good news is that it will mean more power for everyone. However, it could also mean higher prices for everyone, too.Via: Hemmings Godzilla Reigns Supreme The engine news initially came via a leaked order guide from the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum, and spotted by Car and Driver. We also reached out to Ford for information, and a representative confirmed that both the 6.8-liter gas V8 and the low-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V8 would both be discontinued for 2027. The representative said that the decision was made to "better align with the needs of our customers." FordThis change will certainly boost the base performance numbers for the Super Duty range. The 7.3-liter gas V8, named "Godzilla," makes 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, increases of 25 horses and 40 pound-feet over the 6.8-liter V8. Similarly, the high-output 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel makes 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. That represents another respectable 25-hp increase over the low-output engine, but a fairly massive 150-lb-ft improvement in torque. Both engines will still be matched with a 10-speed automatic.FordFor customers, this means that they'll automatically have more power and torque, and we can't imagine anyone will be disappointed by that. For Ford, this simplifies the line-up and will probably reduce some costs, plus it will make the Super Duty look more impressive when compared to the standard versions of other heavy-duty pickups. The Ram HD's base 6.4-liter engine makes 405 hp and 429 lb-ft of torque, and the Cummins turbodiesel straight-six, which is also now only available in the high-output version, makes 430 hp and 1,075 lb-ft of torque. On the Silverado HD (and its GMC Sierra twin), the base 6.6-liter V8 makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque, and the turbodiesel 6.6-liter V8 makes 470 hp and 975 lb-ft. The Price Is A Big Question Mark The thing about these higher-output engines is that they are extra-cost options on the 2026 trucks. To go from the base 6.8-liter V8 to the 7.3-liter costs $1,500. While it's entirely possible that Ford will simply bump the price from the current starting MSRP of $45,975 to $47,475, we'll bet any increase will be a bit less in order to keep customers happy. Either that, or Ford will add a couple extra standard features to help give customers more value for the increase.As for the diesels, both engines are options for the 2026 Super Duty, with the low-output version carrying a price of $11,495, and the high-output costing an extra $2,000 at $13,495. It seems to us like a toss-up whether the high-output engine comes down in price at all, since it will still be an optional engine. We probably won't have to wait long to find out final pricing, though, since new model-year trucks should be arriving in a few months.
