Uhmm, the 3.0L Land Rover diesel is a Ford engine.

Ford AJD-V6/PSA DT17

I think you got as much hatred for Ford as Fish does for Ram/Cummins. Even worse is I think you have disdain for Ford owners. Why? What is the point in not liking someone just because of what they prefer to drive? Life is too short for that nonsense.

Sorry you feel that way because I do not have any "disdain for Ford owners" as you put it. I do however have disdain for Ford owners that feel they need to get on every Ram post and talk their smack. You might notice I never go on Ford posts and post anything negative UNTIL they start their BS. And I no longer do that, those people are not worth the time.

I have never not one time posted on a "Got a new truck" post anything negative about their purchase. Not one time, we do however have a Ford guy that does it all the time to the Ram buyers.

I have said time and time again it's your money buy what makes you happy.The point of this post was to show the guys that posted I was full of BS when I said Ford (and GM) will be coming out with a small diesel in their half ton trucks. Maybe you don't remember that but I sure do.

As for the engine,
I was just going by what was written in the article "Ford is using a Land Rover-sourced 3.0L diesel in this application.". So if this is in fact built be Ford why wouldn't they say something like, Ford is using their 3.0D/TDV6/SDV6/HDi the same diesel used in the Range Rover????

The Lion engine family was developed and manufactured at Ford's Dagenham Diesel Centre for use in PSA Peugeot Citroën vehicles (as DT17 as part of joint venture begun in 1999), Jaguar Cars (as the AJD-V6), and Land Rover vehicles. The engines share the same bore/stroke ratio, with the V6 displacing 2.7L and the V8 displacing 3.6L. The V6 was launched in 2004 and as of 2011 also serves in Ford Australia's Territory SUV; the V8 in 2006. The V6 engine meets the Euro IV emissions standards. A 3.0L was added in 2009 and is based on the 2.7L.

To improve the engine’s low-speed torque range for off-roading and towing applications, Land Rover installed a large capacity single-turbocharger, rather than use the twin-turbo design; in addition the engine is fitted with a large engine driven cooling fan to support low speed, high load driving as may be encountered in desert conditions. Furthermore, the Land Rover variant of the Lion V6 includes a deeper, high capacity sump with improved baffles to maintain oil pressure at off-roading extreme angles and multi-layered seals to keep dust, mud and water at bay and different transmission bell housing bolt pattern. The Lion V6 – constructed from compacted graphite iron – is a member of the Ford Duratorq family and is produced at Ford’s Dagenham engine plant; 35,000 engines were produced from April to December 2004.

The 3.0-litre design, known as the Gen III, superseded the 2.7-litre, and uses parallel sequential turbochargers and an uprated common rail injection system incorporating fuel injectors with piezo crystals fitted nearer to the tip to reduce engine noise and a metering mode to reduce oversupplying fuel, decreasing fuel consumption and unused fuel temperature over the 2.7-litre model. The parallel sequential turbocharger system utilizes the smaller of the two turbos when the engine is running at low revolutions; once the engine has reached 2,800 rpm, the larger turbocharger is also used to pressurize the intake.

Jaguar tested fitting the engine to its XK model but didn’t carry the project over to production.

The 3.0-litre variants used by Land Rover feature the 2.7-litre’s off-roading adaptations plus calibration of the engine’s electronics to allow the use of low-quality fuels.
