Re test 2018 F150 Diesel takes on Ike Gauntlet

I know I said this before but what is the purpose of this truck with a small diesel engine? Who is the target consumer? Fuel economy? Not when diesel cost more and not to mention maintenance costs more. Less capable and more expensive than Eco boost, I'm assuming less payload too.

Not being sarcastic but who are the manufacturers aiming for with these small diesels?

They did it twice and again, they circled the mistakes. :B

My takeaway from that was buy the Ecoboost.

I think these guys do a good job, I like their reviews. The Eisenhower grade is pretty rough, if you haven't experienced it you will realize it is pretty demanding once you do. Looks like Ford got the mapping worked out for this truck, hopefully it carry’s over to the rest.
I really like these new trucks but the MSRP on these things is just ridiculous.

if any of the truck builders want a real test?? give a brand new truck to a well seasoned rv,er for six months. they,ll show a real test.

With the money pouring in via sales we are seeing massive R&D spent on trucks and SUVs. Enjoy, it won’t last...like minivans.
