How much horsepower and torque does a 6.7 powerstroke have?
The latest production form of Ford’s 6.7 Power Stroke delivers 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. Over its history, Ford has raised output in stages, so here is how the figures have evolved by generation and model year.
Current production specs (2020–present)
The most recent, widely available Ford specification for the 6.7 Power Stroke in F-Series Super Duty trucks is 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque.
- Horsepower: 475 hp; Torque: 1,050 lb-ft.
This represents Ford’s contemporary baseline output for the 6.7 Power Stroke in the current generation of Super Duty trucks.
Historical outputs by generation
2011–2014: First generation
The original 6.7 Power Stroke launched with strong low-to-mid grunt, then tuned upward through the early years.
- Horsepower: 400 hp; Torque: 800 lb-ft.
These early figures established the engine’s performance baseline for the initial Super Duty lineup.
2015–2016: Mid-generation update
Ford updated the engine to push more hauling capability and overall driveability during this period.
- Horsepower: 440 hp; Torque: 860 lb-ft.
The boost in output helped with heavier towing and improved responsiveness under load.
2017–2019: Late-generation refinement
Further refinements and calibrations provided incremental gains in power and torque.
- Horsepower: 450 hp; Torque: 935 lb-ft.
These figures reflect continued improvements prior to the major 2020 refresh that brought the current numbers.
What affects horsepower and torque
Several factors influence the measured output of the 6.7 Power Stroke, and the official numbers assume standard conditions and configuration. Real-world results can vary with equipment, maintenance, and operating environment.
- Engine calibration and software tuning (OEM programs and any authorized updates).
- Emission-control systems and aftertreatment performance (DPF/DEF operation).
- Altitude and ambient temperature, which affect air density and turbo efficiency.
- Fuel quality and availability, including sulfur content and combustion quality.
- Turbocharger wear, injector performance, and general engine health.
- Transmission and drivetrain configuration, which can influence how power is delivered to the wheels.
Modifications or non-OEM tuning can alter published figures, sometimes significantly. Always verify values for your specific model year and drivetrain configuration.
Summary
The Ford 6.7 Power Stroke has progressed from 400 hp / 800 lb-ft in the early years to 475 hp / 1,050 lb-ft in the latest models. Across generations, Ford’s updates have steadily increased torque and, in many cases, horsepower to improve towing capabilities and overall performance.
