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

Why do people post BS like 23 mpg from an HD truck? Why? It contributes nothing and proves nothing, and smacks of a person who's words and opinions can't be trusted.......
Oh chit! Now you done did it! The geezernet.com mileage police will be on you like flys on turds!!! Better duck!
No what it shows is you have never driven anything that can make that fuel mileage. My 2004 Ram Cummings made 27 mpg at 65 all day (not towing) and my 2015 Ecodiesel 4X4 CC makes 30 mpg @ 60 mph before the tune and 32 with the GDE tune. The 2019 Ecodiesel due out in mid summer will be rated two mpg higher then Fords 3.0 diesel. Maybe you should buy something with more then 6 gears if you want to get good fuel mileage.
This is a new age and some people will never understand that.
Don
What heavy duty truck has more than 6 gears? And the Ecodiesel hitting the market by mid summer, maybe next summer, maybe.
FYI - I daily drive a Transit PSD in a 6 speed van mostly highway with the tallest gears available.....I know what mileage what some vehicles get, diesels are no miracle. It's a business vehicle, and there is no economic debate as to whether it makes sense. It is owned btw.
Back on topic, anyone read the terrible F150 PSD review, the one where it has no reserve power for passing with a 6500lb boat? Ya.
The one on PickupTrucks.com?
