The In-house 6.7

 Above is my current personal truck: 2011 Ford f350 6.7 V8 Diesel

In 2011 ford introduced its first in-house built motor the 6.7 Liter single turbo power stroke diesel. This included a staggering 400 horse power and 800 foot pounds of torque. And recently upgraded in 2015 the 6.7 now puts out 440 hp and 860 foot pounds of torque. After having a good relationship with international lasting 30 years, over the past 4 years ford has been doing very well for themselves on their own. With this new engine comes along more emission regulations which make the engine run even quieter. such things included the existing EGR, DPF, and incorporated the DOC, and SCR. The DOC(Diesel oxidation catalyst) and SCR(Selective catalyst reduction). Lastly newly included was the DEF system, Diesel Exhaust Fluid which is a system that converts the nitrous oxides into water and nitrogen. The 6.7 also has an 18% increase in miles per gallon.
