When your work demands serious capability, choosing the right engine is just as important as choosing the right truck. Whether you're hauling equipment around Saskatchewan, towing livestock, or tackling demanding job sites, the Ford F-350 Super Duty offers multiple powerful engine options designed to match a wide range of needs.

At PineRidge Ford in Meadow Lake, SK, we're here to help you find the Super Duty that's right for your lifestyle. Here's everything you need to know about the Ford F-350 engine lineup.

Ford F-350 Engine Options

The Ford F-350 gives drivers several capable powertrains to choose from, including two gasoline V8 engines and two versions of the legendary Power Stroke® diesel. Each delivers impressive performance and towing capabilities, but the best choice depends on how you plan to use your truck.

6.8L Gas V8

The standard 6.8L V8 is an excellent option for drivers who need dependable everyday capability. Producing 405 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, it offers plenty of strength for hauling trailers, transporting equipment, or tackling demanding work around the farm or jobsite.

If your truck spends more time commuting, making deliveries, or handling moderate towing than pulling extremely heavy loads, this engine provides an excellent balance of performance and value.

7.3L Gas V8

Often nicknamed the "Godzilla" engine, the available 7.3L V8 is built for customers who want more muscle without moving to diesel.

With 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque, it delivers stronger acceleration and increased towing confidence while maintaining the simplicity of a gasoline engine.

This engine is a popular choice for contractors, ranchers, and recreational users who regularly tow larger trailers, boats, or campers but don't necessarily require diesel torque.

6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8

For serious towing performance, the 6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel V8 raises the bar.

Generating 475 horsepower and an impressive 1,050 lb-ft of torque, this engine is designed for heavy-duty hauling, making it ideal for large fifth-wheel campers, horse trailers, construction equipment, and commercial applications.

Its abundant low-end torque makes pulling heavy loads feel more controlled, particularly when accelerating from a stop or climbing steep grades.

High-Output 6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel

If maximum capability is your priority, the available High-Output 6.7L Power Stroke® delivers the highest performance in the F-350 lineup.

With 500 horsepower and a remarkable 1,200 lb-ft of torque, it's engineered for drivers who routinely push their trucks to the limit with the heaviest trailers and toughest jobs.

Whether you're towing heavy equipment across Saskatchewan or hauling large RVs across Canada, this engine offers exceptional confidence and capability.

Gas vs. Diesel: Which Ford F-350 Engine Is Right for You?

Many shoppers wonder whether a gas or diesel engine makes more sense. The answer depends on how you use your truck.

A gas engine may be the better choice if you:

  • Drive your truck daily
  • Tow occasionally or moderately
  • Want lower upfront ownership costs
  • Prefer simpler maintenance

A diesel engine is often ideal if you:

  • Frequently tow heavy trailers
  • Carry substantial payloads
  • Travel long distances while towing
  • Need maximum torque for demanding work

Our team at PineRidge Ford can help you compare the options and determine which engine best suits your needs.

Paired With a Proven 10-Speed Automatic

Every Ford F-350 engine is paired with a TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission, designed to optimize power delivery across a variety of driving conditions. The transmission provides smooth shifting while helping maximize towing performance and overall drivability, whether you're cruising the highway or navigating rough worksites.

Built for Saskatchewan Work

Life in northern Saskatchewan demands a truck that's ready for changing weather, long distances, and challenging workloads. Whether you're working in forestry, agriculture, construction, or simply need dependable towing capability for recreation, the Ford F-350 has an engine designed to handle the task.

Combined with available four-wheel drive, impressive payload capacity, and advanced towing technologies, the F-350 continues to be one of Canada's most trusted heavy-duty trucks.
