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

Say what? "Total waste of money, terrible to drive, noisy, stinky, bad in the cold, horribly slow into the wind, $130 oil changes
Wow, were do I start. One, if gas engines are so great tell me why big trucks run diesels?
Two, I love driving my truck, there is no difference in the way a diesel equipped truck drives then a gas.
Three, noisy????? I can't here my truck run and when you walk by it you can hardly tell it is a diesel.
Four, stinky????? you can not smell any diesel fumes from a modern DPF equipped truck what so ever. A deleted truck yes but sorry DPF trucks give off no diesel smell what so ever. Gas vehicles should be so clean. I hate running behind any Ecoboost vehicle as they stink to high heaven!
Five, Cold, that I will give you, if you are not running a front cover it takes a diesel forever to heat up. However, plug it in and run a cover and you get heat just as fast as any gas vehicle.
Six, oil changes are 10,000 miles or one year on the Ram EcoD and I would think it will be the same with the 3.0 PSD.
Again we get it, you hate diesels. But until you drive/tow with a 3.0 EcoDiesel or the 3.0 PSD when it comes out you will never know the truth. When I'm towing with mine, all I do is plant the right foot and the trans shifts down and we are off to the races. There are way to many guys towing way over the limit and not having any issues with these trucks.
Comparing the F-150 that isn't even out yet to a Ford Transit van is like comparing a F-150 to F-350. The transit van is designed for long duty service hence the lower HP/TQ ratings. Just like the f-450/550 or Ram 4500/5500 trucks are de-rated when compaired to their non commercial bothers.
