I don't think so. The 150 still wouldn't have the payload capacity of the 250.
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.3oaks wrote:

The torque of that small Lion V8 might be too much for the F150's tranny and rear axle though. Probably the diesel V6 would be ok.
For me a diesel would only make sense in an F150 with the HD Payload package with the heftier rear axle, springs, shocks, wheels and tires.

Not a V8
shiner had it right 3.0 V6
power reminds me of my old 7.3. If there is any doubt that FCA hit the mark with the ecodiesel ?,this is proof they were right .

Their rep is pretty spotted.
Actually Ford makes a good diesel. Its when they outsource to International that problems begin to occur.patriotgrunt wrote:

I would think putting a Diesel in would lower the pay load unless the really beef up the suspension. Diesels are really heavy. they eat up a lot of payload, Even on 250, 2500, and 3500s. Which is why "some 2500 diesels have no more payload than a 1500 gas.
The diesel being proposed to use is only 3 liters, less than half the size of the 2500/3500 trucks. Ram's Ecodiesel only weighs about 150-200 pounds more than the Hemi.rjstractor wrote:

Take 200lb off a 1500lb payload. Not too good.Terryallan wrote:

In a Max Payload/Trailer package an F150 EB has a LOT more payload than 1500lbs. Don't think Ford will have any issues maintaining the trucks payload capabilities. In the "grocery getter" editions it really doesn't matter, most people who buy them haven't got a clue or really don't care - "it's a pickup, it'll tow anything....right?"
I know people who own EB's they bought off the lot and didn't even know it had twin turbo's till I told them. Asking about payload got me a deer in the headlights look.mich800 wrote:

Who's spilling their kook-aid? I'm just stating facts. Ford's problems with diesels came from the outsourced 6.0 and 6.4. Are you looking for drama?patriotgrunt wrote:

I was agreeing with you. My comment was about the troll.
