F-150 Diesel

LOL. I seriously doubt that there is much if any cross shopping between an F150 and a F350. They are significantly different vehicles with that fill different needs.

And to say that it won't sell because this site hasn't shown much interest is laughable. I would agree that it doesn't fit the needs of most here that want/need to tow heavy. But it, like all the 3.0's are designed for a positive driving experience for the non-rv towing market - which is HUGE compared to the little niche here.

There is a reason that the half ton trucks are consistently the three best selling vehicles in the US. And it has very little to do with them being a towing monster.

I somewhat disagree about the cross shopping between classes. Personally, I have a 150 and it pulls my camper fine. However, in the next couple of years I plan on upgrading campers. Now that there is a new 7.3L gas coming to the HD trucks, and for the future shoppers who might be on the fence about which model to choose, then it might make them bump up a class.

Now, the vast majority of truck owners, and to a certain extent, myself included, my current truck is a primary a way to move me and my family around 95% of the time, including running to HD to pick up a few items from time to time. They probably won't have a need to move up a model.

But I'd bet if you look at more than 1/2 of the 250/350's running down the road, there's not a scratch in the bed nor a trailer at home that they tow. I just think that the way their pricing the 1/2T as close to the 3/4 & 1T's, it wouldn't be that much of a leap to move up a model. Almost every dealership in my area has almost as many of the big trucks as they do the 1/2 T's
