2020 Ford Super Duty Plow Rating 

We are, of course, talking about the 2020 Ford Super Duty series of trucks. For those who don’t know, the Super Duty pickup is available with a Snow Plow Prep Package for the 2020 model year, complete with mounting hardware. That’s pretty cool, but just wait… it gets even cooler. 

Where things get truly impressive is with the fact that the 2020 Ford Super Duty has a best-in-class gas plow rating of 1,400 pounds. On top of that, the Super Duty has best-in-class gas horsepower and torque from an available 7.3-liter V8. If you opt for the diesel model (430 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque), you can also get best-in-class power with an available 6.7-liter Power Stroke® engine (475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque). 

So, if you need a powerful pickup that can handle your snow plowing needs, there really isn’t even a question as to which truck you should get. The 2020 Ford Super Duty models have not only the available equipment you need to get the job done but they have the power and capability you need to get it done better than any other vehicle.
