Diesel Forecast has vacillated on the F-150 diesel option a couple times. I don't think they know. A good resource for information but, maybe they are called Diesel Forecast for a reason.

Hopefully they have a better hitting record than your local weather forecast.

My understanding is that it will be based off the 2.7l V6....

Probably has to do with opinion of a good deal of the population hear in the states. Most people here believe diesels are noisy,smelly, and dirty (we know better). This attitude has to change before a diesel in anything but a truck will be accepted here.
