x2.

Maybe Ram would then consider it too.

OK....but I posted this about two years ago and just posted spy photos of the 3.0 diesel f-150 about two or three months ago along with a story saying Ford said the baby diesel is a go for 2018.

I hope they include an exhaust brake.

Never been one for 'just enough' for this kind of thing...more so when life & limb
are on the line...

Just about anything 'can do it'...on the good days...all things designed/engineered
are NOT for those good days out there...but for the worst day when Mr Murphy
crosses your path...

But, that is just me and my opinion on these things...note that there is a
half ton in my stable. IT was the 'HD' version of it's era with a 6.2K GVWR but
did not buy it...dad gave it to me after he retired (owned a small
specificity grocery/butcher shop)

I'm not really a fan of the new refresh. I think the current design looks great but the refresh add's either an obnoxiously big piece of chrome across the grill or nostrils similar to Ram's latest design. I guess the body colored grill looks the best because it's more conservative.

I with you on that! ;)

Though, I would still buy one if I were in the market for a new truck.

Why not just buy a F250 with the 6.7 diesel motor, a lot more truck for about the same price. My F250 with the 6.7 gets 19-20 MPG, can tow 14,000 lbs, has 400HP, 800 Ft/lbs. rides like a Cadillac. We call it our Redneck Cadillac.

Not everyone needs that capability. The F150 comparably equipped should be several thousand less than a 250/350. The diesel 150 will likely get close to 30 mpg on the highway.

Because not everyone needs a 3/4+ ton truck. You don't buy a 6 bedroom home if you only need 3 bedrooms do you?

off road

There's supposed to be a glimpse of the 2018 Ford F-150 on Fox's NFL Pregame show today. Maybe they'll mention if there's a diesel in the lineup.
