I wonder if it is going to have displacement on demand like the Chevrolets.
I have to admit that I drove a Z71 with it and it was pretty cool. Ok it was a customers truck that I was going to put a bedliner in. I didn't go out and test drive it.

Well I had to try the Avalanche thing for a few years , it was ok I guess, and I met some nice folks, but there ain't nothing like a "Ford Diesel" I won't ever be without a "Ford Diesel" in my Garage again!!!

Its so much easier to get power out of a diesel. I love my Powerstroke.

Diesel is a little high for a college student right now.

yeah I know. :/ Well, if I could get my hands on even a mid 90s 250 or 350 4x4 diesel I would be more than happy. unfortunately, my '02 isnt worth enough to sell it and buy even a 15 year old truck
