Well most people buying half ton trucks are not towing anything big. This is a towing forum so most of us tow but it is not the norm. It isn't if Ford adds a diesel to the F-150 it is when. Mid 2017 is what was being thrown around but PUT.COM says 2018.
"Today we bring you further proof of a 2018 Ford F-150 with a turbo-diesel engine destined for sale.
“Caught earlier testing on Michigan roads, this emissions certificate on the back window of the prototype pickup indicates it is a 3.0-liter unit rather than the 3.2-liter diesel that's offered in the full-size Transit van. The JFC1-3.0-966 on the sticker is the emissions calibration code. The JFC1 is the control unit catchword; the 3.0 is the engine displacement; and the 966 is the last three digits of the vehicle tag number.
“This further confirms that Ford will be using the Lion V-6 found in current Jaguar/Land Rover vehicles such as the Range Rover. The engine was developed while Ford still owned JLR. The F-150 diesel is also identified by the venturi exhaust tip, necessary to more efficiently cool down gas temperatures.
“Ford will be gunning after the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which uses an Italian-sourced 3.0-liter V-6 and eight-speed automatic transmission, for the segment fuel-economy victory. Whether or not the F-150 diesel (which may or may not be called a baby Power Stroke) will debut with the face-lifted F-150 series is uncertain (see last photo below), but it should come equipped with the new 10-speed automatic jointly developed with GM and going into the 2017 F-150 and Raptor. We expect to get our first chance to drive it next year."

Most people want a pick up that gets god mileage and that is not either Ecoboost engine.
not the numbers the Ram 3.0 EcoD is making anyway! Again good for Ford and I have to say I'm happy to see Ford phas pusked it back to 2018. That is when the New 1500 Ram comes out it will be interesting to see what each brings to the market.
