6.7L Power Stroke Power Buyer's Guide (2011-2024)

Ford F-250 F-350 Super Duty 6.7L Power Stroke

The 6.7L Power Stroke is the most powerful Super Duty diesel Ford has built, and it comes from the factory with more power than most owners will ever need to tow. That matters, because we do not carry an engine tuner for the 6.7 Power Stroke that is covered by a CARB Executive Order. So the legal performance path on these trucks is about airflow, lower temperatures under load, fuel system protection and a transmission that stays cool and strong. This guide lays out Stage 1 and Stage 2 for each year range, each with a towing build and a max power build.

Pick your truck below to see only the parts that fit it. Every card shows the fitment as it appears on the product page, and parts listed with a CARB Executive Order carry a green badge with the EO number.

Before you add power

Start with a healthy truck. Change both fuel filters, check both cooling systems, and make sure the DEF system and regenerations are working without faults. On 2011-2014 trucks, listen for turbo noise before adding any load. A protected fuel system matters more than any power part on these trucks.

Tuning and some performance parts can affect your factory powertrain warranty. Check before you install.

Start with a healthy truck: work through the 2011-2016 maintenance guide first.

2017-2019

Start with a healthy truck: work through the 2017-2019 maintenance guide first.

Start with a healthy truck: work through the 2020-2022 maintenance guide first.

2023-2024

Start with a healthy truck: work through the 2023-2024 maintenance guide first.

Stock power and where the limits are

Every number below is a factory rating at the crank or a typical figure at the wheels, as noted. "Reliable towing target" is where we suggest a truck that tows stops, so the engine, transmission and cooling system all live a long time.

Years	Stock rating	Transmissions	Reliable towing target	First limit you hit
2011-2016	390-440 hp, 735-860 lb-ft (rose over these years)	6R140 automatic	Factory power with lower temperatures and a protected fuel system	The CP4 fuel pump, and the 2011-2014 turbo
2017-2019	440-450 hp, 925-935 lb-ft	6R140 automatic	Factory power with lower temperatures and a protected fuel system	The CP4 fuel pump
2020-2022	475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft	10R140 10-speed automatic	Factory power with lower temperatures and a protected fuel system	The fuel pump, and heat in the 10R140
2023-2024	475 hp, 1,050 lb-ft; High Output: 500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft	10R140 10-speed automatic	Factory power with lower temperatures and a protected fuel system	The fuel pump, and heat in the 10R140

Stage 1: bolt-ons and tuning

Stage 1 is the bolt-on step: tuning (where a legal option exists), better airflow and the gauges to watch what the engine is doing. The towing build is what we recommend for most trucks. The max power build adds the parts that let the same truck make more power without giving up reliability.

2011-2016

Stage 1 on a 6.7 Power Stroke is airflow and monitoring. An S&B intake covered by a CARB EO, factory-style intercooler pipes that will not split under boost, and a monitor for exhaust and transmission temperature help the truck hold power on a long pull. Gains are modest, but towing temperatures come down.
