2023 Ford Super Duty now shipping, having passed new Zero Defect tests
. Ford CEO Jim Farley has talked a lot this year about the automaker's focus on quality improvement, the Super Duty is the first demonstrator.
The company implemented Zero Defect processes at the Louisville Assembly Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant that build the truck. In Kentucky, where more than 9,000 employees are involved in Super Duty production, the entirety of the Zero Defect enhancements are said to take three hours per vehicle, a gauntlet that includes around 40 cameras so far and could ultimately count 100 cameras, plus a number ofas well as employee training to vet video and analyze data on builds.
All of this comes after a revised prototype testing process. Ford tripled the number of trucks used fortesting and nearly quadrupled the fleet used for endurance testing. Engineers focused on high-mileage runs, and instead of conducting certain challenges to a mileage number, trucks were run until parts broke so Ford could find the weak spots.
The new truck offers three engines. A new 6.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 gas engine is the standard mill, a downsized version of the 7.3-liter naturally aspirated Godzilla V8, making 405 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. Those figures add 20 hp and 15 lb-ft to the output for the retired 6.2-liter. The updated 7.3-liter now makeshp and 485 lb-ft., representing the same pony count but ten more pound-feet. The Power Stroke option is a 6.7-liter V8 oil-burner in two outputs.
