the reason your 300 pull so well is the way it delivers that 260 ft/lbs odd. agree 250 hp in a (diesel) "halfton" is plenty. Guess 420 trq should be good to.

What is the bore and stroke going to be, little and a little less? This is a recipe for a motor that has to be spun up to make any torque. Could they not go with V6 or dare I say an I6?
I will gladly fry with ya on that point, but for my money they should built something like 4.5 I6. Always felt V8's should be 5L or more, although i am not clever enough to give you a decent reason.

The Brazilian built (righthand drive) F250 has an 4.2 i6 Tdi. nothing high tech but it moves the truck. your propably rite on the 4.4 / 6.7 theory.

You are absolutely right, it uses an 2.4l crd I4 making 121hp and 266ft/lbs. The Range Rover 3.8 V8 crd is to high tech for a truck engine for my likikng... Does the fact that Land Rover now belongs to the Indian Tata automaker affect Ford ror using that desighn you think?
