I'm reasonably sure Ford doesn't offer a diesel in the F150 in the USA, only
the F250 and higher. There are 3 engines for the F150, the 2.7l ecoboost v6,
3.5l ecoboost v6 and venerable 5.0l v8. They might still offer a non-turbo v6
but I'm not sure.
None of the above are to be confused with Dodge's ecodiesel.
I read the other night where Chevy is planning a diesel 4cyl for the new
Colorado with speculation this might lead to a 30mpg pickup...
