Wow, good for Ford. The 3 liter diesels are posed to take the market here in US of A it seems. With no power numbers out, it will presumably top the Eco diesel and start the little truck diesel wars. 250+ hp and 450ish tq sounds pretty inviting.
It's a great time to be a gear head with half ton trucks capable of getting 2x the mileage of just 15-20 years ago and almost 2x the power on tap.
Reasonably priced American spots cars and sedans pumping out 700 hp stock, trucks approaching 500hp/1000ft lbs and little fuel sipping diesels that will put pull the best big block engine from the 90s!
For not being a ford guy I gotta say the new F series, all of them are pretty dang awesome.
(I'll still take a Ram though Fish, lol,)
It is a virtual bun fight outside of NA , who can introduce the next killer Pickup, outputs of 250hp and 470lbs ft of torque will make it very interesting indeed. You can still get 650hp sedans prepped by specialist tuners and sold with a warranty in Australia. 500hp/ 1000lbs+quite common with MDT/HDT Trucks here.
