Shopping for a heavy-duty pickup in British Columbia usually starts with one question: what’s under the hood? Below, you’ll find each engine broken down, plus what sets the F-350 apart from the F-250. You can also see both engines on the Ford F-350 inventory at Orchard Ford.
Which Engines Come on the 2027 Ford F-350 Super Duty?
The F-350 keeps the engine choice simple. Gas or diesel, and both are V8S.
The 7.3L gas V8 is standard on every trim. The 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel is available on every trim. So the trim you choose doesn’t limit your engine choice. Ford also notes a change: the 7.3L gas V8 is now standard on every F-250 and F-350.
The 7.3L Gas V8
Ford full name for this engine is the 7.3L 2V DEVCT NA PFI V8. It’s naturally aspirated and uses port fuel injection. Here’s how Ford rates it for the F-350:
- Up to 420 hp at 5,350 rpm
- Up to 445 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm
- TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission
- Standard on every F-350 trim

The 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke Diesel
The diesel option is the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel B20. Ford rates it as follows:
- Up to 500 hp at 2,600 rpm
- Up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque at 1,600 rpm
- TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission
- Available on every F-350 trim
That torque figure stands out. Ford rates the 1,200 lb-ft as Best-in-Class Max Available Diesel Torque. And it peaks at just 1,600 rpm, so the engine pulls hard without needing high revs.

Drivetrain and Transmission for Okanagan Roads
Both engines share the same gearbox. Every F-350 uses the TorqShift 10-speed automatic. No manual is offered.
Your drivetrain choices come down to two:
- 4×2 for drivers who stay on paved roads
- Available 4×4 for snow, gravel roads and job sites
Okanagan winters and backroad access around Kelowna, West Kelowna and Vernon make the 4×4 option worth a close look. Whichever you choose, regular care keeps the powertrain healthy. You can book a service appointment with the Orchard Ford team.
F-350 vs F-250 With One-Ton Capacity and Dual Rear Wheels
The two trucks share an engine lineup, so the chassis is what separates them. The F-350 is a heavy-duty 1-ton pickup. The F-250 is a 3/4-ton.
The F-350 also offers more ways to configure the rear axle:
- F-350 is offered with single rear wheels (SRW) or dual rear wheels (DRW)
- F-250 comes with single rear wheels only
A dually setup places two tires on each side of the rear axle. That wider footprint suits drivers who haul or tow at the heavy end of the scale. For lighter-duty work, the SRW F-350 delivers one-ton capability in a narrower package.
Equipment That Works With the Powertrain
Ford also lists Pro Power Onboard, up to 2.0 kW, and an available trailer brake controller for the F-350.

Frequently Asked Questions
What engines are available on the 2027 Ford F-350 Super Duty?
You can choose between two V8 engines. The 7.3L gas V8 is standard on every trim and makes up to 420 hp and up to 445 lb-ft of torque. The 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 is available on every trim and makes up to 500 hp and up to 1,200 lb-ft of torque. Both use the TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission. Because both are offered across the lineup, your trim choice doesn’t limit your engine choice. A drive in each version is the best way to compare how they feel.
How many tons is an F-350 Super Duty?
This Super Duty truck is a 1-ton pickup. Within the Super Duty family, that places it above the F-250, which is a 3/4-ton truck. The F-450 rounds out the pickup lineup above. The one-ton rating reflects the heavier-duty design, and it also offers dual rear wheels, which the F-250 doesn’t. If you need more capability than a 3/4-ton provides, this truck is the next step up. The Orchard Ford team can walk you through the configurations in person.
How much can an F-350 Super Duty tow?
Towing depends on the engine, cab, axle and rear-wheel setup, so confirm the rating for a specific truck with the dealer. For a closer look at capability, see the Ford F-350 inventory and ask our team about towing.
How much weight can an F-350 Super Duty carry?
Payload depends on the engine and configuration. For a deeper look, read does a gas F-350 have more payload than a diesel F-450.
Is the 2027 F-350 available with dual rear wheels?
Yes. Ford offers this truck with single rear wheels (SRW) or dual rear wheels (DRW). A dually puts two tires on each side of the rear axle for a wider, more planted stance under heavy loads. The SRW version keeps a narrower footprint that suits everyday driving and lighter work. This choice is one of the key things that separates it from the F-250, which comes with single rear wheels only. Both engines are offered on this truck.
What is the difference between an F-250 and an F-350?
The main difference is capacity. The F-250 is a 3/4-ton pickup, while the F-350 is a 1-ton pickup. The latter also offers dual rear wheels, and the F-250 comes with single rear wheels only. Both trucks share the 7.3L gas V8, which is standard on every Super Duty for 2027. If your work calls for heavier loads or a dually setup, the bigger truck is the natural fit. For lighter heavy-duty work, the F-250 is a strong choice too.
