That’s been updated to 200,000 miles now, and I don’t keep trucks that long anyway.
Ford’s small diesel wasn’t great compared to the EcoBoost. If you want torque, check out the PowerBoost or a Tremor.
Ford’s diesel didn’t sell well, and emissions rules made it harder to justify. Try the PowerBoost or Lightning instead—I made the switch and won’t go back.
No way. Hybrids and electric motors can match the torque, and emissions rules mean small diesels are on the way out.
Diesels will still be around for heavy-duty trucks over 8,500 GVWR, though.
Yeah, I was talking about family trucks.
It didn’t stand out. The EcoBoost was stronger, and the mileage wasn’t good enough to make up for the cost. Diesel fans also wanted it to feel more like a ‘classic’ diesel.
Nope. New emissions rules coming in 2027 will stop that from happening.
Probably not. There’s not much demand, and Dodge’s small diesel has had major issues and recalls.
They tried it a few years ago, but it wasn’t very popular. The 2.7 EcoBoost makes more power, has decent torque, avoids emissions headaches, and gets good mileage.
Diesel engines need long drives to stay clean, and most F-150 owners don’t do that. Adding diesel would also bump up truck prices, and people already think trucks cost too much.
