• The massive 7.3-liter Godzilla V8 delivers 430 hp and 485 lb-ft.
  • Ford has ditched the option of its 6.8-liter gas V8 with 405 hp.
  • The High Output version of Ford’s 6.7-liter diesel V8 is also offered.

Pickup buyers spent the last decade being told smaller engines were the future. Apparently, someone forgot to send Ford the memo. With laxer regulations under the Trump administration, big engines are making a comeback, particularly in larger pickup trucks.

According to an order guide shared by Ford-Trucks, all 2027 F-250, F-350, and F-450 Super Duty models will now come standard with the 7.3-liter gas-powered Godzilla V8. The engine has been kicking around the lineup for a while as an option. Now it’s the floor. It delivers a healthy 430 hp and 485 lb-ft (658 Nm) of torque, making it well-suited to a vehicle like the Super Duty.

Promoting the Godzilla means Ford has shown the 6.8-liter gas V8 the door. Ford has also abandoned the standard version of the 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8, replacing it with the same unit’s High Output version in the F-450. This uprated version delivers 500 hp and 1,200 lb-ft (1,626 Nm) of torque, making it absolutely perfect for towing and lugging around heavy loads.

There’s no word on what, if any, changes will be made to the pricing of the 2027 Super Duty range. However, given the introduction of two more powerful engines, it’s safe to assume that prices will increase marginally.
