How long have they been working on it? A diesel engine isn't something you rush into production...think 6.0L and early 6.4L. And don't say that "Well it's Ford...not International...so they can handle it."
I'd be suprised if the 4.4L was out "in less than a year".
The engine was first mentioned several years ago and at that point it was more thsan a concept. I think Mortimer at AWK wrote about it in August 2005 and at that point it was sensational. It was further told that some of the production would be at Fords OK Dagenham facility but that seems changer in favour for the Chihuahua-plant.

There's a Dodge I see running around here pretty often. It's got a good six or 8 inches of lift, 35"s, real nice truck, sees the mud. Has a HUGE decal across the back window that says.

well if you can't trust as far as you can tow them then we have a problem cuz I thought a Ford could tow em all over the state...or country if you prefer...
What is a Ford lcf? I saw a black F-150 with racing stripes running down the middle of the truck (think Cobra stripes) a solid tonneau cover on it that said 4.5l on the back of it I though I misread it at first but now I think I am right.
theres no diesels in f-150's yet.......but now that we bring up the idea of the lcf diesel.....i wonder if that would fit in the f150.....200hp 440 ft-lbs......hmmm
