ddieselman Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 When will Ford get going and offer a Diesel for the Ford F150 and the Ranger? How about leading the Truck industry and not following Dodge or GM That's a good question. There are engines waiting in the wings. There is a new 3.6-litre V8 diesel with 275bhp ready and waiting but we are waiting for the management. This will have a CGI block. Also about to come into view is a 335 BHP 4.4-litre V8. It just needs someone to say GO. And I am sure the job could be done very quickly. This is the time for Ford to bite the bullet and not be caught napping. get ahead of the pack. ddieselman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenp77 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Dan: Are these better than the 6.0 or are they the same technology, who is building them????The 4.4 in an f-150 should be pretty sweet if it is any damn good and should put the mileage up there a bit???Thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinb120 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 There is no other excuse for the non existance of the 4.5PS F-150 other then sheer stupidity at Ford. You dont know HOW MANY times this has come up at the dealership over the years. If you say 'F150 diesel' at a Ford dealer around 5 strangers, 4 will talk to you about it for an hour about the utter disbelief that it does not exist.......and the 5th stranger will utter 'im not getting into THAT again'. This motor should also replace the 6.0 in the E-series. As many (literally) hundreds of times I have heard this come up, our commercial salespeople have heard it THOUSANDS of times. After trying to figure out a reason why its not here, there is only one-blatent stupidity. Its actually physically painfull to even think about it if you are a Ford fan, as much so as the lack of the C1 Focus in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I cant believe it doesnt exist!" Yeah... I guess they same the same at GM, Dodge, Nissan and Toyota dealers too. And buddy... it would have been stupid to put the 4.5 in the F150. Absolute sheer stupidity. The 6.0 is the biggest piece of crap they've ever put into an F-Series... so by extension, the 4.5 would have been an equally shitty engine.

Just read that the 4,4 litre will be poured in Brazil and put together in the US. Huge numbers. "Brazil: Tupy set for more CGI work By John Mortimer 20 April, 2006 Source: AWKnowledge A Brazilian foundry has been given the nod that it will be making cylinder blocks for the upcoming Ford 4.4-litre V8 diesel engine that will power future F150 pickups.
