2018 F-150 3.0L Diesel GCWR

I am still not a fan of small diesels in big trucks, but for those of you who are.

2018 FORD F150 DIESEL 3.0L “LION” V6 WEIGHT / TOWING SPECIFICATIONS PRINTED IN THE OWNER’S MANUAL

A 17,100 GCWR would put the tow rating over 10,000 lbs. If they put this in an F150 HD then it might not be a bad tow vehicle for those wanting the fuel efficiency of a small diesel, but with more payload than what the Ram Ecodiesel has to offer. It would essentially be the same as a 3/4 ton diesel of a few decades ago in both power and capabilities, but with a more fuel efficient engine.

Folks have been waiting for a diesel F150 for a LONG time ! It would be interesting to see sales numbers given the fact that it will carry a premium price tag. With the cost of diesel fuel as high as it is, plus the cost of DEF and the more expensive oil changes, you will need to put a lot of miles on that engine to make it pay back !

Personally, I think it would be better paired with an F250. People will love it in the full sized Transit !
