Ford F-Series Super Duty 3rd Generation

2011–2016 · P473 · truck

Third-gen Super Duty introduced the Ford-designed 6.7L Power Stroke V8 diesel (390hp/735 lb-ft initially, 440hp/860 lb-ft by 2015) — the 'Scorpion,' built in-house after the 6.4L Navistar disaster. Gas option is the 6.2L Boss V8 (385hp/405 lb-ft). 6R140 6-speed TorqShift automatic across the line. Platinum trim added 2013. Single rear wheel F-250/F-350 and dual rear wheel F-350. Heavily updated 2017 became the 4th gen.

Watch out: 2011-2014 6.7L Power Stroke ceramic turbo bearings — the first-gen 6.7 had documented turbo failures from the ceramic ball-bearing design (revised to steel for 2015+). Replacement turbo runs $3,000-5,000 installed. Also: CP4 high-pressure fuel pump failures when fed dirty/contaminated fuel can grenade and send metal through the entire fuel system — a $8,000-12,000 job. CP4 prevention is keeping fuel filters fresh and the tank from running dry.
