I don't really care for diesels, but it is a good idea for Ford to offer it.
I do find it funny that excuses were made about why diesels were not a good idea in light duty pickups after Ram's Ecodiesel came out, and now Ford decides to offer one in the F150. In similar fashion, excuses were made as to why the Ranger was discontinued (slow seller, market dried up, etc.) and now they are planning to bring it back after seeing the success of the new Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Ford makes incredible trucks, and the F series trucks will probably always be the top sellers in the industry, but I just find it amusing how they change their mind about certain offerings.
Regardless, I think Ford is making a great choice to offer this engine. It will sell very well.
