<p>With big power comes big capability, and Ford is promising all that and more on the updated F-series Super Duty lineup. </p>

<p>The Blue Oval has released the first details on the 2020 models of its heavy-duty pickup trucks, which Ford says will have the most powerful engines and the highest payload and tow ratings in Super Duty history.</p>

<p>While the company remains mum on the official torque numbers and towing capacities-at least until later this week at the Chicago auto show-we expect both to exceed the Super Duty's current 935 lb-ft of torque and 35,000-pound maximum towing capacity. </p>

<p>Until the all-important torque and towing ratings are released, the big news is that the Super Duty will now offer two gasoline-powered V-8 engines. Along with the standard 6.2-liter V-8, which carries over unchanged, an all-new 7.3-liter V-8 will be available.</p>

<p>Ford claims it will be the most powerful gas V-8 in its class. The cast-iron mill will feature a cam-in-block overhead-valve architecture, variable-valve timing, and other modern technology.</p>

<p>The company's legendary Power Stroke diesel engine is also significantly overhauled for 2020, with the 6.7-liter V-8 adding an upgraded fuel-injection system that is said to optimize combustion and control noise levels. </p>

<p>Other meaningful enhancements include a redesigned turbocharger and stronger internal components for more horsepower and torque than the previous diesel engine, which developed 440 horsepower and 935 lb-ft. </p>

<p>While that torque rating is already higher than the Duramax diesel (910 lb-ft) that is available on the heavy-duty Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the all-new Cummins diesel found in the Ram 2500 and 3500 makes up to 1000 lb-ft of torque. Based on recent history, we expect Ford to exceed that number.</p>

<p>All three Super Duty engines will be available with an all-new 10-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the current six-speed automatic.</p>

<p>The new 10-speed automatic will still allow the user to activate accessories and equipment such as snowplows while the truck is moving, and the transmission also features selectable drive modes.</p>

<p>Accordingly, the 2020 Super Duty receives new driver-assistance technology, upgraded infotainment options, and updated exterior and interior features.</p>

<p>The Super Duty lineup continues to offer a variety of driver assists such as automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist.</p>

<p>It's also now available with a useful Pro Trailer Backup Assist.</p>

<p>The system allows the driver to hook up a variety of trailers by helping them control the steering and using the camera system to give further guidance. </p>

<p>Every model also includes a 4G LTE connection with a mobile hotspot that connects up to 10 devices; wireless charging and USB-C ports are also now available.</p>

<p>The heavy-duty Fords may have a host of significant updates underneath their aluminum-intensive shell, the exterior and interior revisions are milder. </p>

<p>On the outside, they feature a slightly revised front end with updated LED headlights and a new front bumper. </p>

<p>The rear end has also been refreshed with a new bumper, tailgate, and taillights.</p>

<p>Inside, the improvements are basically limited to premium materials and options on specific models. </p>

<p>Expect the updated Super Duty lineup to go on sale this fall.</p>

Before we even hear the official power ratings and tow capacities, Ford's latest heavy-duty pickups have our attention.
