We should find out tomorrow, when the 2023 Super Duty order banks are scheduled to open up, what the HP and torque of the high output Powerstroke is going to be. Anyone interested in taking a wild guess? I'm going to guess the power out put to be 525 hp with 1230 lbft of torque. Anyone heard anything regarding the 2023 Cummins?
I am guessing Cummins will stay the same.
Hey what happened to all the bad mouthing about RAM offering two power levels and GM and Ford only needing one??? NOT referring to you.
Personally I like the idea of offering a higher compression/lower torque Cummins for those who are more concerned about unladen fuel economy along side a HO Cummins for those who use their truck primarily for towing. Ford offering a regular and HO Powerstroke is strictly a ploy for Ford to squeeze more out of their customers.... and, I might end up being a customer who falls victim to their scheme.
I'm not sure it is a ploy since the HO version will have a new turbo and stainless steel exhaust manifolds. It will be interesting how the fuel economy will be compared to the standard Powerstroke. If the HO version yields lower fuel economy then that will probably explain why Ford created a HO version.
