Next F150 (09) with Diesel

[hollapm]

I just listened to this video discussing new engine technologies (Ecoboost) aka forceflex and during the discussion they also mentioned the new F150 getting a Diesel. Although their are rumors of what Diesel it will get, this is the first word from Ford that states it will get a Diesel. Interesting info if you ask me.


Its discussed around 3:30 of the video.

They haven't told us yet. It will be next week for sure when the media event is going on before the start of the public auto show.

Me can't take it no more...

I need to take a sleeping drug that will knock me out until Sunday morn...

I think the official time is 12:01 (noon) EST Sunday Jan 13th. With so many other embargos breaking early why can't this one?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh!!!!!!

I will say I read a story @ autoweek.com back maybe a year ago where Ford said a diesel was coming for the F-150.

I just wish they'd mention the 6.2L, instead of ignoring its existence until a year from prior to Job 2...

Well since we are wishing, they should go ahead and make it an even 7 liters. There is already one of them in the Roush test mule/drag car
They could tune it down a bit, I really don't need 800hp in my truck. 500lb/ft of torque would be nice though. Get back to around the 460 power numbers.

maybe ull find out in 2009...........and stop all the assuming/guessing just chill guys just chill

They've done that already, might wanna check out the V10... better power than the 460, and a lil' better mpg too..

my wish list would be diesel 400-500 ft lbs trq at least 25 mpg average.
if they can not do that then I want 6.2 boss that gets 20 mpg average.

If they would let me I would buy that superchief in a blink or the tonka.

6.2 getting 20 average? my 5.4 doesn't do that.....i'd be happy with 250 hp and 350 ft-lbs of torque if it got 20 mpg average.....
