最近谍照记者首次拍到了2019款福特F系列重型皮卡。这是一款F-450 Platinum版本，该车近日在福特位于密歇根州Dearborn总部附近进行测试。虽然第一眼看上去外观变化不大，但作为中期改款车，该车动力系统和车厢内将进行适当改进。新车前脸进行改款，包括采用新的格栅和升级版底部进气口以及全新前大灯和尾灯组。除了前脸，车身绝大部分没有变化，动力系统将进行升级。预计新车将搭载新的V8引擎和十速自动变速器，而现行版搭载的是六速TorqShift变速器。现行版搭载的6.2升V8引擎功率287千瓦/385马力，扭矩549牛米，而另一台6.7升柴油引擎功率328千瓦/440马力，扭矩1254牛米。虽然目前还不清楚新车细节，但预计内外装版本仍与现行版相同，包括XL到Platinum版本。至于价格，预计将高于现行F-250 XL的32535美元（约合人民币22.35万元）。

2019 Ford F-Series Super Duty Spied With Modest Facelift

Our spy photographers recently caught up with the first prototype for the 2019 model year – an F-450 Platinum trim – testing just outside Ford headquarters near Dearborn, Michigan. Though it may lack any dramatic revisions at first glance, it makes up for it with some modest updates underneath the hood and likely in the cabin.

The new Super Duty will get a revised front fascia that includes things a new grille and updated lower vents, as well as brand new headlights and taillights. Apart from the fascia, most of the body will go unchanged. Under the hood is where we’ll see more of the updates.

A new V8 is expected to join the range, as well as a new 10-speed automatic carried over from the Raptor in place of the current six-speed TorqShift. The current 6.2-liter gas V8 produces 385 horsepower (287 kilowatts) and 405 pound-feet (549 Newton-meters) of torque, while the 6.7-liter diesel option delivers 440 hp (328 kW) and 925 lb-ft (1,254 Nm).

Details on the update are still well under wraps up until this point, but we expect all of the same trim levels to carry over, ranging from XL to Platinum like the prototype pictured here. As far as pricing, expect a modest bump over the current MSRP, which starts at $32,535 for the F-250 XL.
