Diesel option for 2018 F-150

Pickuptrucks.com

Looks like Ford plans on doing a face lift for the F-150 in 2018 and maybe offering a diesel option to compete with Ram. It's a great time to be a customer with all this competition.

  • The few mileage on the Ram Eco diesel is really good I've heard from several owners. Ford would do well with a diesel in their F150.

    Good to see this, although they offer so many configurations already, a small diesel would be icing on the cake for some. Wonder what displacement this new diesel will be? What's funny to me is that in most other parts of this world, both midsize and full size 1/2 tons have offered diesels for some time now. We need to catch up.... Cause one day due to fuel and other regulations, big trucks will be a luxury that some of us including myself won't be able to afford... Mid sized trucks will be more popular, including diesel variants. Just my take.


    I agree...the Auto Manufacturers are already preparing for this... At least GM is... 7,600 lb tow rating for the new Diesel Canyon and the Payload is already on par with most Half Tons...not too bad.

    Thanks!
