2018 Ford F 150 Diesel In Red
Ford has unveiled details of its new Power Stroke 3.0 litre turbodiesel engine, which will be deployed on the F-150 pick-up truck. That Ford turned to diesel power first may be a shock, considering its tumultuous recent history.
"We know that we have available powertrains globally, but we just can't take those...and put them in the F-Series", said David Felipe, vice president of global powertrains for Ford. Last year USA authorities charged that Fiat Chrysler used software to cheat emissions tests covering 104,000 of its Ram models. The 3.0-liter V6 diesel will naturally be used with Ford's new 10-speed automatic transmission specifically reworked for the new engine, the engineers looking to extract the best power and torque at low rpms, mixing it with fuel efficiency and standard start/stop technology.
The diesel F-150 will cost between 2,400 dollars and 4,000 dollars more than a comparable gasoline truck, depending on the specific model, Ford executives said.
The Ford truck team paid particular attention to extreme driving conditions when engineering the all-new 3.0-liter Power Stroke diesel, which features a premium mechanical engine-driven fan and dual radiator shutters for improved high temperature, high-altitude performance - a key advantage versus the electric cooling fans used by competitors. But diesel engines remain under significant scrutiny in the wake of the Volkswagen emissions-cheating scandal. Combined with the anticipated 30-mpg highway rating, the Ford F-150 diesel may have a cruising range of up to 780 miles on a single tank of fuel.
Ford executives say they are confident their diesel will comply with USA emissions rules. The vehicle will come with a price tag between $2,400 and $4,000 more than its petrol alternative. Retail customers can choose this engine option for 2018 F-150 Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum edition SuperCrew trucks with either a 5.5-foot or 6.5-foot bed configuration, and SuperCab trucks with a 6.5-foot bed configuration.

Diesel-powered XL and XLT versions will be available only to fleet buyers.
Ford executives said they expected that once production ramps up about five per cent of F-150 models will be ordered with the diesel engine. The F-150 joins the Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon and Nissan Titan XD as non-heavy-duty trucks on sale today.
The automaker is negotiating to settle the complaints and received government clearance to offer a 3.0 liter diesel in its 2017 and 2018 Ram trucks.
Diesel is dead. Long live diesel.
