When it comes to performance, the Blue Oval doesn’t embrace a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, the manufacturer engineers its medium-duty trucks with tailored power by offering a range of engine options to suit different commercial applications.The 2022 Chassis Cab F-550 XL – which is available from Skaha Ford in BC – is no exception. With two blocks to choose from, including gas and diesel variants, fleet managers can equip their trucks with the power generation they need:
Â
Standard 7.3L V8 Gas Engine
Designed for strenuous duty and hauling heavy loads, the 350-hp 7.3L V8 gas engine features diesel-like durability, performance and power with 468 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with variable-camshaft timing, this cast-iron block reaches peak power with an optimal air-fuel ratio in the low rpm range to provide the responsiveness and muscle commercial operators require.
6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel Engine
The third-generation 6.7L Power Stroke V8 Turbo Diesel engine features a 36,000-psi fuel-injection system and forged-steel pistons, which optimize combustion, provide precise throttle responses and create less friction for increased durability. A turbocharger with fully electronic actuation ensures cold-weather performance while an air induction system promotes ventilation. The result is a responsive diesel block with 330 hp and 825 lb-ft of torque.

With the release of the 2022 F-450 – which is available at Skaha Ford in BC – the Blue Oval has set a new benchmark for commercial fleets. With standard diesel engine power, this four-ton truck is incredibly strong and delivers peak outputs for arduous jobs. But the Super Duty’s capabilities don’t stop there. Even with its commanding size, this diesel rig is whip-cracking fast with potent accelerating power.The 2022 F-450 features a standard 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel that crushes the competition with 475 hp and 1,050 lb-ft of torque. Paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission, power is directed towards the rear wheels, but a four-wheel drivetrain is available on every trim. This block also incorporates a driver-activated engine-exhaust brake, which restricts the turbocharger’s exhaust flow to create back pressure. This is useful to slow down the truck when travelling downhill or when greater driving control is needed.
For moments when swift performance is required, the 2022 F-450’s 6.7L Power Stroke V8 turbo diesel engine rises to the challenge. It gets up to 100 km/h in approximately eight seconds – and that’s when it’s loaded to capacity. With the standard gooseneck hitch, the 2022 F-450 can also haul a maximum of 16,783 kg – that’s enough to pull 16 sub-compact cars.
To learn more about the 2022 F-450 and its gutsy 6.7L V8 turbo diesel engine, contact our team at Skaha Ford in BC. Our Service Department also provides expert maintenance, repairs and modifications for medium-duty trucks, providing your fleet with a full-service solution in one stop.

With the unveiling of the 2022 F-350 XLT, which is available from Skaha Ford, the Blue Oval delivers more than heavy-duty performance to BC. Instead, it prioritizes convenience with the availability of the XLT Value Package to help fleets work smart and more comfortably without compromising power.Equipping the 2022 F-350 with the XLT Value Package adds fog lamps from improved visibility in dark or foggy conditions. A reverse sensing system also enhances parking maneuvers or connecting the pickup to a trailer. A Securicode keyless entry keypad is included in the package, too, so busy truck operators don’t have to fumble with keys when accessing the XLT’s cab. These added conveniences cut down on wasted time and ensure productivity while out in the field.
The XLT Value Package enhances SuperCab and Crew Cab models with an eight-way power driver’s seat for a customized on-road experience. An auto-lock and auto-unlock feature, which secures the Super Duty’s doors while the truck is in motion and unlocks them when the ignition is off and in the accessory position, is a nice extra layer of protection.
The 2022 F-350 with the XLT Value Package proves ideal for commercial operators that appreciate comfort and practicality. To learn more about the Super Duty and its models, contact Skaha Ford in BC.
