Ford F150 is going Powerstroke Diesel
It's going to be a V6, like the one in the 1500 Ram. Link

How many people do I think bought $8,000.00 worth of extra trim packages instead of the diesel?
NONE!
A lot, the Laramie trim package on an HD is $6.5k upgrade over the SLT(which is not the lowest package), the Lariat is a $6.5K upgrade over the XLT(which is not the lowest package), and the High Country is a $5.6k option over LTZ(which is not the lowest package). This is just for the package and nothing else extra like 4x4. I see a lot of HD gasers in these trim packages that could have spent that money on a diesel with a lower trim package option.
Instead, the trim package option was more important to them than the diesel option(and there is nothing wrong with that). The only difference is that while the trim package option does allow for a higher resale value negating most of the up front cost for the option, it does not save you in fuel costs or adds to towing performance like the diesel option does.
