We know a whole heck of a lot about Ford's new 2011 F-Series Super Duty pickup truck lineup, but there are a number of important details that we're still waiting to be revealed. For instance, we know that it will come with an optional 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel V8 engine that's capable of running on B20 biodiesel, but we don't know how much power it will produce.

As is the case with most new model launches, we're pretty sure the 2011 Super Duty will cost more than the truck it replaces, but we don't know by how much. Or do we? According to a report from Automotive News, citing "a dealer and a source familiar with the program," the 2011 F-Series Super Duty will carry a base price of $28,995.

If true, that would put the new truck exactly $2,145 over the 2010 model's $26,850 asking price. If you'd like to add the powerful new diesel V8, you can tack on (according to our friends at PickupTrucks.com) about ~~$6,500~~ $7,835 to that baseline amount. We contacted Ford for comment and got a, "We've not yet released pricing on the new Super Duty."

In any case, as with all heavy duty pickup trucks these days, expect options to drive up the price of the new behemoth from Ford into the stratosphere rather quickly. Will it be worth it? We'll know soon enough - expect a full report on the new HD hauler from us early next month.

Rendered Speculation: 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty looks beefy, more modern

Armed with the latest sets of spy photos and insider information, our friends over at PickupTrucks.com have created an illustrated rendering of what they think the 2011 Ford F-Series Super Duty will look like.

It's definitely bolder and more masculine, which is the direction that the Blue Oval seems to be taking with its heavy haulers over the last few generations, and it appears to take its basic inspiration from the F-250 Super Chief concept from the 2006 Detroit Auto Show.

Under that bulging hood will reportedly sit either a 6.2-liter gasoline-fed V8 engine or Ford's newly-developed 6.7-liter Scorpion diesel V8, the pair of which are new engines that replace the existing 5.4-liter Triton and 6.4-liter Powerstroke. Interestingly, both of these new powerplants will reportedly be paired exclusively with automatic transmissions.
