Ford's 10-speed 10R140 TorqShift automatic transmission was now standard with the diesel and 7.3-liter gasoline engines on the F-250 and all engines on the F-350; the 6-speed was still available, but only in the F-250 with the 6.2-liter engine and even the F-350 XL DRW with the Payload Package of the same engine (though this is a rare option).
In response to low demand and poor performance, the 4.2L V8 and 3.8L V6 were phased out in 1982 and 1983, respectively. For the F-250 and F-350, a 6.9L diesel V8 (sourced from a partnership with International Harvester) became an option for 1983. For 1984, a high-output version of the 5.8L V8 was introduced.
At its launch, the medium-duty F-Series was offered with two gasoline V8 engines and two diesel V8 engines. A 370-cubic-inch (6.1 L), 180 hp (134 kW) V8 was standard, with an optional 429-cubic-inch (7.0 L) version; both were variants of the 460 V8 developed for commercial use. The 429 became standard for 1991.
Initially available as a SuperCab with a 5.5-foot box, it came with the 310 hp 5.4L V8; an optional 411 hp 6.2L V8, which would debut in the Super Duty line for 2011, was added later in that year. The standard wheel diameter on FX4 models was enlarged to 18". The Harley-Davidson Edition and FX2 trims also made a return.
Though using the 3 ⁄ 4-ton chassis of the F-250, the two-wheel-drive Excursion was rated with a GVWR of 8,600 lb (3,900 kg) when equipped with gasoline engines and 8,900 lb (4,000 kg) when equipped with diesel engines (four-wheel-drive models have a 300 lb (140 kg) higher GVWR with either engine).
The seventh generation of the Ford F-Series is a range of trucks that was produced by Ford from the 1980 to 1986 model years. The first complete redesign of the F-Series since the 1965 model year, the seventh generation received a completely new chassis and body, distinguished by flatter body panels and a squarer grille, earning the nickname "bullnose" from enthusiasts.
Introduced for the 1983 model year, the 6.9 L diesel was the first to be offered in Ford light-duty pickups, available in the F-250 HD and F-350. Although GM pickups already had offered a diesel engine in the C10 starting in 1978 (5.7 L Oldsmobile), and across the range in 1982 (6.2 L Detroit), those engines were intended for efficiency over power.
The F-100 with a 302 Cleveland model was the first Australian Sixth Gen to receive an automatic transmission as an option, the six cylinder powered models and the larger F-250 and F-350 were limited to a four-speed manual.
