F-Series full-size pickup trucks have been sold in the United States for nearly four decades, and strong demand is prompting Ford to expand Super Duty production at its Oakville assembly plant in Ontario, Canada.

As part of the announcement regarding the expansion of production Ford This iteration of the Super Duty pickup will feature a hybrid powertrain, Ford said in a statement. The expansion “paves the way for the use of multi-energy technology in the next-generation Super Duty pickup.” A hybrid powertrain made sense, especially given how popular it is in the smaller F-150.

Now F-150 It offers a hybrid setup that places an electric motor between the twin-turbo V-6 and the transmission. It’s also unclear which engine will be a hybrid in the upcoming Super Duty, as the current generation is equipped with two gasoline V-8s (6.8-liter and 7.3-liter) and a diesel 6.7-liter V-8.

Ford said the start of production at its third Super Duty plant, the Oakville Assembly Complex, would initially add capacity for an additional 100,000 trucks. Plans call for an additional 1,800 jobs in Oakville and 150 at the Windsor Engine Complex in Ontario, where the V-8 engine for the Super Duty is built. The other two plants Super Mission A collection facility in Kentucky and an assembly facility in Ohio are already operating at full capacity. The expansion will require a total investment of $3 billion.
