Ford’s new MyFord Touch system, an extension of its SYNC system, sets a new standard of in-vehicle connectivity and information, says Technical Editor, Jim Kerr. Highlights include internet access, improved navigation, Google maps access, and simpler phone call commands.

Ford’s new 6.7-litre diesel engine is a real powerhouse, says Technical Editor, Jim Kerr. "With 735 foot pounds of torque, the diesel will pull the truck’s maximum towing capacity of 11,068 kg (24,400 lbs) as if it wasn’t even there!"

Ford’s new 305-hp 3.7-litre V6 engine features Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) that can change the timing of each camshaft independently, "allowing a unique balance of high performance and fuel economy," says Technical Editor, Jim Kerr.

The performance of Ford’s new 6R140 six-speed automatic transmission in the 2011 Super Duty pickups “sets a new standard for heavy duty transmissions,” says Technical Editor, Jim Kerr. “The driver’s control through the electronics…really impressed me,” he says.
