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.

No it is not cheaper, in fact the purchase price is higher for a diesel engine and diesel is generally dearer than petrol even in Europe.Running costs overall are a lot cheaper, that is why so many diesels in Europe and the rest of the planet EXCEPT North America.

Or it could also be that there is no excess capacity

No they have plenty of extra ramp up capacity to cope with imcreasing demand , that Ford hopes will not slow down.
