Economy is an unfamiliar concept within the pick-up world. Massive engines demand equally massive amounts of fuel - with their cavernous blocks unable to sustain even the smallest measure of power without a full-tank. This forces drivers to divide their hours between watching the gauge needle and searching for stations.
The release of the 2018 F-150 Diesel should change that.
According to US News, Ford will soon unveil its 2018 Diesel - and this platform is primed to redefine the market. Boasting a 3.0L PowerStroke engine, the F-150 will achieve an estimated 22 MPGs in the city and 28 MPGs on the highway (we do note that these numbers have not yet been confirmed but are instead generated by comparisons of the Range Rover, which shares a similar chassis build). A rear-wheel-drive will effortlessly adapt to changing inclines, promoting precise torque distribution; while the new 10-speed automatic transmission will eliminate gear strain and ensure a more fluid ride.
Through this, the F-150 will deliver a seamless driving experience - sparing North American consumers those frequent station visits.
No official release date has been given for the 2018 Diesel. Critics anticipate an early spring arrival, however, and believe that Ford will soon enter its production phase.
