The Powerstroke was completely redone for 2011. The Super Duty line received a large exterior upgrade that included a new, much bigger and meaner looking grill. Its engines were also upgraded to better compete with the new Silverado HD and Ram HD. It won Popular Mechanics best workhorse of 2011, and the best "Gear of the Year" in the trucks category as well. The pickup has been a big hit since its release and has overall been very popular. This comes to no surprise because Ford has been the number one seller for pickups for over the past twenty years.
The 2011 Ford Super Duty is available with either a gas or diesel engine. The gas options are an E85-capable 6.2 L 2-valve SOHC V8, which puts out 385 horsepower. The gas engine in this is new for this year but the new diesel engine has been creating a reputation of its own already. The diesel is the new 6.7 Liter Powerstroke, producing 400 hp and 800 lb·ft of torque. This diesel engine is the first diesel engine that is 100% produced by Ford, and its a huge success. Unfortunately, the new pickup is only offered with an automatic transmission. This transmission is the Torqshift 5R110, which is creating a reputation for outstanding pulling performance. Overall, the new 2011 Ford F250 Powerstroke is is a modern day workhorse.

My boufriend has a 98' powerstroke... they are pretty sweet
This seems like a really great truck. Does the different grill have any significance on performance?
