In 2017 we named the then all-new Ford Super Duty our Truck of the Year. I will never forget it, for a couple of reasons. The big one is that at our gala Of The Year event held at the Deco-meets-Gaudi Theatre inside the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, yours truly gave Ford the big award. It is the truckiest truck that ever trucked...is how I concluded my speech. We had never seen anything like that Super Duty. Gargantuan, dripping with functionality, and oozing capability, the Super Duty wowed us like few other vehicles have during my decade-long experience with Of The Year events.. Since then, Chevy, GMC and Ram have completely revamped their heavy-duty lineups. Ram even took the logical, ridiculous step of endowing its biggest hauler with 1,000 lb-ft of torque. Naturally, Ford had to respond, and a midcycle refresh at the four-year point in the Super Dutys lifecycle is the place to do it. If you ask me, Ford brought a tank to a gunfight. This puppy is strapped. The biggest news is that Fords truck team figured out a way to extract an additional 125 lb-ft of torque from its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbo diesel V-8. Yes, folks, the Blue Ovals big dog now makes 1,050 lb-ft of torque. Put that in your four-inch tailpipe and smoke it, Ram. Oh, and Chevy, GMC? By all rights, Ford could have turned in a minor refresh of an already superior truck, sat back, and counted the cash. Instead of mild updates, though, the Blue Oval made the gutsy decision to reassert its dominance in the highly competitive and hugely lucrative duty truck race. In almost every measurable way, the new Super Duty numerically beats and beats up the competition. My instincts are telling me that I am seeing if not feeling the writing on the wall. It might not be from me, but you very well could hear...the truckiest truck that ever truck...again real soon... From Johnny Liebermans 2020 Ford Heavy Duty review for Motor Trend
