- I remember reading an article a few years ago on how Ford, Delphi, and a few other makes were working on a GDCI engine. With the Ecoboost badge on the truck in the video makes me wonder if the next generation Ecoboost(or the generation after that) could be GDCI.
- Whatever it is you can hear the turbo singing. Unless that what the vehicle filming.
- that noise is coming from a dodge two blocks down the street.

Had to look it up. More info
Seems like a long shot for Ford to be putting a Hyundai/Delphi engine into the F150. Didn't find anything more recent than Apr 2014 about this engine either.
Like others, my guess is it's the diesel "Lion".

Lol....yeah!- Wikipedia also suggests that the Lion V8 might be the engine:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AJD-V6/PSA_DT17#Lion_V8 - I would look real careful at any Ford diesel!
Their rep is pretty spotted. proxim2020 wrote:
The same factory that pumps out the 6.7L also makes the 4.4L V8, so there's a chance that it could make into the F-150. But Ford probably wouldn't do it since it could affect SD sales.
I would think that the 3.2l diesel they use in the Transit is a more likely fit. But they will have to bump up the HP from the 185 in that application.brulaz wrote:

We rented a Peugeot Mini-van in Ireland with a diesel Lyon with like a 1.9 L engine, strong little engine no issues getting up to speed even with van loaded fully with seven people.
