The rumors prove persistent - weaving through the automotive world, softly promising exceptional economy. The F-Series, they claim, will soon pair with diesel efficiency; and this will redefine every mile and every payload.
According to Road and Track, these rumors are turning into truths. The noted auto-blog recently reported that the 2018 Ford F-150 will feature a diesel V6 engine. This declaration has North American drivers hurrying to dealerships, wanting to stake their claims on 3.0L TD6 performance (the F-Series will share the same platform as the Range Rover Sport, offering a spirited 245 HP and 440 lb.-ft of torque).
With the promise of a V6 diesel engine, Ford is pushing its 2018 F-150 to the forefront of the pick-up market. Only one other competitor - the Ram 1500 - offers this alternative platform option, creating a need for improved economy. The F-Series will now fulfill that need, fusing its best-in-class trailering with an estimated 28 miles-per-gallon. This will ensure precise power on both the highway and the back-roads.
The 2018 F-150 will provide drivers with the V6 reliability they crave - and we can’t wait to sample that reliability next year. To learn more about this and other F-Series models contact us today.
