If Ford ups the GVWR for a payload in the 25-3000lb range and offers a diesel with enough power to pull 12,000lbs, 3/4 ton sales will drop. That's why you never see F150 HDs ordered by dealers. I can't see Ford offering anything more than an MPG beater with the new diesel. Like what Ram did. Ram never intended for the Eco D to be a big time tow truck. They have the 2500-3500 for that.
Nissan went the other direction with the Cummins. Like the F150 with the HD option. They needed to add to their line up.
Ford doesn't need to fill any gaps. Only regain the MPG crown.
Just because a truck has a diesel in doesn't mean it's supposed to tow big.
