Rumors define the automotive market - little wisps of conversation, half-formed speculations. Drivers leap from one conclusion to another, leaving wide trails of shaky truths in their wake; and it often proves impossible to decipher fact from feverish fiction.
Ford recently offered a guarantee for the future, however - confirming the arrival of a diesel F-150.
According to Fox News, Ford plans to release a diesel F-150. This will mark a momentous milestone for the brand, with the F-Series never before featuring a gasoline alternative. Public demand for more efficient pick-up responses, however, has created a need for non-traditional power; and this 3.0L engine will maximize every mile, pairing direct-injection technology with automatic start-stop capabilities.
Through this, the 2018 F-150 will ensure superior economy. Ford assures drivers, though, that this diesel transition won’t demand a sacrifice of performance. A best-in-class tow rating of 12,200 pounds has been announced - ensuring that every heavy-duty demand can be easily accommodated.
No official release date has been offered for the 2018 F-150. Critics anticipate a late fall arrival, however, and production should begin soon.
For more than three decades, the F-Series has dominated North America’s sales charts. With the arrival of the new F-150, we expect this tradition to continue.
