Every Ford Super Duty Truck Now Has a Godzilla V-8FordThe 2027 Ford Super Duty lineup has lost two engine options, based on order books that were posted by Ford Truck Enthusiasts.The previously standard 6.8-liter gas engine is gone, along with the standard-output diesel 6.7-liter; the 7.3-liter "Godzilla" V-8 is now standard, and the high-output Power Stroke is the lone diesel option.Once Ford releases official pricing for the 2027 model year, we can see how these powertrain changes will impact how much the Super Duty trucks cost.Someone inform the authorities in Tokyo, because according to the order books for the 2027 Ford Super Duty, we'll be seeing a lot more of Godzilla in the future. According to a post on the Ford Truck Enthusiasts forum, Ford's heavy-duty pickups are dropping their base-spec gas and diesel engines, leaving their previously optional counterparts.According to the report, which cites Ford's own order books, the 6.8-liter gas-drinking V-8 has been dropped for the new model year. As has the standard-output version of the Power Stroke 6.7-liter diesel V-8.FordThe change makes the previously optional "Godzilla" 7.3-liter gas-fed V-8 the standard engine across the lineup. It also means that if you're after a diesel engine, your choices start and end with the high-output Power Stroke 6.7-liter V-8. The newly standard Godzilla engine has 430 horsepower and 485 pound-feet of torque, while the H/O diesel setup packs 500 horses and a seismic 1200 pound-feet of torque.AdvertisementAdvertisementSince the order books don't include pricing, we'll have to wait a bit longer to see how the new arrangement affects the lineup's price. Given that upgrading from the gas-fed 6.8-liter V-8 to the 7.3-liter V-8 was previously accompanied by a $1500 upcharge, we can't imagine Ford is planning to give the more powerful engine away for free. The same is true for the diesel engines, with the high-output mill running an additional $3500 over the standard Power Stroke.➡️ Skip the lot.
