Strangely Ford NA has never offered the Ecoboost as an option on the Global Ranger that has the 3.2 Litre diesel. I guess the supposed fuel economy and pulling power do not exist.

Or it could be that in places outside of North America Diesel is considerably cheaper than gasoline. And that's why in Europe and other places they drive lots of Diesels - it's cheaper. Here in the USA Diesel used to be cheaper too but now it's around the price of premium or higher.

Or it could also be that there is no excess capacity. Between the F150 (they say something like 50% are Ecoboosts), Taurus, MKS, and Flex with the EB 3.5, the Cleveland engine plant is running at capacity.

It will be interesting to see the first report of this vs the Ecoboost.
