Performance

The XL is powered by a standard 6.8-liter V8 gas engine rated at 400 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque, with an upgrade option to a 7.3-liter V8 producing 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. The Power Stroke diesel is available for the most towing muscle: the standard diesel produces 475 horsepower and 1,050 lb-ft of torque; the high-output diesel puts out 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque.
