Specs: 390-horsepower, 6.7-liter V-8 diesel
Ford freshened its Super Duty versions of its F-Series pickup for 2011 (about $28,000), updating the front-end styling and adding two new engines: a 385-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 that tows up to 15,000 pounds and a 390-horsepower, 6.7-liter V-8 diesel that tows up to 16,000 pounds. For the first time, it offers a factory-installed fifth wheel and gooseneck-style hitch attached directly to the frame as options.
On the light-duty version F-150, there are four engines available, including a powerful 400-horsepower, 6.5-liter V-8 that tows up to 11,300 pounds. The F-150 comes in three cab styles -- Regular Cab, SuperCab and SuperCrew. It offers three bed lengths, two- or four-wheel-drive and a whopping 10 trim packages, so there's something to suit every need.
