2018 F150

[10thSVT_03]

In a somewhat surprising move, Ford brought its full lineup of 2018 F-150 pickups to the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, including an all-new, light-duty diesel offering. The 3.0L V-6 diesel will be branded “Power Stroke,” giving the company its first 1/2-ton oil-burner in decades.

The company says the diesel was designed and engineered in-house, leading us to believe the Power Stroke shares bones with the Jaguar Land Rover Lion 3.0L V-6. Ford didn’t release official power and torque figures, but in JLR products, the Lion produces 254 hp and 440 lb-ft. Those numbers compare very favorably to the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, which makes 240 hp and 420 lb-ft.

It says first oil burner in a half ton in decades. Did they ever have a diesel in a half ton?
