That's great if it doesn't require DEF and have a DPF.

I've been reading about this since I bought my Frontier in 2008. Glad they finally pulled the trigger and did it. If they do a 2.7L in the Frontier I'll be getting a new truck sooner than I thought.

Too bad Ford pulled the plug on a Diesel F-150 after building prototypes and everything. Maybe they'll pick it back up.

They've been promising this for 10 years. I'm glad it's finally come to fruition.

Why would ford take a step backwards like that? Emmisions requirements have killed the diesel. Too expensive, to much maintnance, and once cost difference of fuel is factored in they dont get that great of mpg. Unless you are going to be over 20,000lbs all the time gas i the way to go.

Im holding on to my dinosour until ford puts a larger turbo DI gaser into a 1ton.

The Dodge Ram 1500 is also getting a diesel.

Toyota already had a diesel dually prototype but it was placed on the back burner when the economy took a dive. If I recall correctly it was an 8 liter isuzu diesel engine.
