This is Ford’s base gas engine for the Super Duty lineup, but today I’m putting it to the test with a heavy 14,000 lb trailer, nearly maxing out this truck’s tow rating at 97%. And honestly… the Mini Godzilla pulls way harder than you’d expect from the smaller of Ford’s two gas V8s. In this video, I walk through how the 6.8L behaves under load, how it uses the 10R100 transmission, and why the gear ratios help it stay in the powerband. Even with the shorter stroke compared to the 7.3L Godzilla, the 6.8L still delivers strong, predictable torque when you need it. I show real-world RPM, shift points, hill performance, and stability at highway speeds—no fluff, no marketing, just actual towing. I also break down how tire size, gearing (3.73), and payload all factor into towing performance, and why this truck feels more capable than the spec sheet suggests. If you’re considering a gas Super Duty and wondering whether the 6.8L Mini Godzilla can tow heavy—this video will give you the honest answer. 00:00 - Intro 01:15 - Engine Specs 03:05 - Acceleration Testing 06:51 - Highway Towing 08:42 - Driveline Specs + Max Towing 11:34 - Hotter Transmission Temp 12:25 - Pulling Hills
