Ford says no to Diesel F-150

[WilliamBos]

Diesels prices in the states sure are interesting. Upside down to what fuel prices here are

GM should use Canada to trst the 4.5L Duramax sales...I'd buy one!!

Pleassssssssssssse somebody put in a 4.5L diesel! Perfect size / economy, should peak @ app. 400 ft-lbs torque. <4.0L is too small for light pickup.

4.5L Duramax Diesel

To me, that's a perfect size for a 3/4 ton truck.

Ford has a 4.4L version putting out similar numbers. It's sold in Land Rovers, but not in any Ford product. I would love to see than in an F250 as I don't need 400HP/800 ft-lbs of torqu!

That was slated for the 1500 series trucks. I would love one in a 1500, would be a good base engine for a 2500HD.

It'd be nice for sure. Others have used us as a test bed in the past.

With GM's history of 6.2 in half tons . I do not see why the big three have not put some on the market currently.. Ford's Eco Boost only gets good mileage when not working hard , i have heard of single digit fuel mileage when pulling a trailer..My 74 F150 club cab got 23 on the highway , 12-15 in city .. it pulled mileage down with a trailer also , it worked well.. Miss my 351 W

Yeah, I know it was slated for the 1500. I just think it's overkill for a half-ton truck. Heck, the 1st Duramax had what, 300/500? I know the first 6.0 from Ford had 300/550!
