Ford Chassis Cab F-550 Power and Performance
The 2022 Ford Chassis Cab F-550 gives you two engine options to choose from. Their power gets you where you need to go and allows you to tow quite a bit.
The available gas engine is a 7.3L V8 that generates an impressive 350 horsepower and 468 lb-ft of torque.
The other engine available is a 6.7L Power Stroke® V8 Turbo Diesel with 330 horsepower and a whopping 825 lb-ft of torque. To help you brake, the diesel engine has a smart exhaust brake function-the turbocharger's exhaust flow is restricted to create back pressure that helps slow the truck.
Both engines work with a standard TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission that improves shift performance and optimizes drive ratios.
You even get a few drive modes to choose from:
- Normal
- Slippery
- Tow/Haul
- Eco
- Deep Sand/Snow
