I’m not a diesel guy, but not against them either. That being said, I think that they will do fine for what they are rated to tow. I think that the largest obstacle Ford will encounter is themselves on this diesel option F150. Just because they offer so many other engine choices... and so far both the ecoboost and the 5.0 have had great success. Otherwise Ram, GM and Ford are finding that niche 1/2 ton diesel market that I see is there. It’s not a large market yet, but will grow in time. Reason in my opinion is generational differences. A lot of the millineal and younger gens want fuel economy and power. I don’t see them towing large campers by any means. At 46 I don’t mind towing large campers, but now I just see that campers are getting larger and larger... even to big...that market will change in the future to smaller options. Manufacturers are betting on several of these variables and bringing that truck to the marketplace now. Just my thoughts guys, and honestly if I needed one I would own one.. I would prefer the GM version but I’m sure Ford will do fine as well.
