Thanks for the insight, just what I was fishing for.

Glad to help Luke.

As far as the f150 goes, any of the EcoBoost motors, the 5.0, or the 3.0 would be welcome under the hood of my truck. but since I am buying this time instead of leasing I went for the truck that was basically everything I wanted and like I said earlier I have been wanting a diesel option but just could never justify the superduty with a diesel for what I use my truck for.

The answer is right there. You wanted a truck, with a diesel but didn't want/couldn't afford a Superduty.

I am sure the economy of the diesel when under a load should put a gas motor to shame.

dstud2000, sounds like you weren't to impressed with the Coyote 5.0? I've never driven anything with one, but I've been running 289,302&351's for almost 40 years, the new 5.0 always seemed like the Holy Grail for 302's(?) That said my OLD worn out 390fe was ridiculously fun to drive, makes the 302 feel silly. lol

"5.0 Coyote
360-460 HP
380-420 ft-lb torque

In 2018, ford switched from the more traditional cast iron sleeves in the block to the Plasma Wire Arc Transfer cylinder liner technology. This increased the bore diameter from 92.2 to 93.0 mm (3.63 to 3.66 in) and brought total displacement up from 4,951 to 5,035 cc (302 to 307 cu in). The Gen 3 Coyote engine features dual-fuel, high-pressure direct injection with low-pressure port fuel injection and an increased compression ratio of 12.0:1. These changes are relevant to both the Mustang GT and F150 with 5.0 V8s.

For the 2018 Mustang GT, the Gen3 5.0 engine also was equipped with new camshafts, enlarged intake and exhaust valves, and revised intake manifold, that moved redline to 7,500 rpm."

Forgot to mention. I have it on good authority that Ford will be releasing a cam in block pushrod motor for the f150 in 22, it will be in the 6 liter range, built in Windsor and based off the current 7.4 Godzilla motor you can get in the superduty trucks, and it will fit in a mustang.

So just brought home my new F150 this past weekend. It has the baby diesel 3.0 V6 in it. Anyone here have any experience with these baby diesels?

That's an awesome truck, dstud2000. I just can't, for the life of me, distinguish what specific tires and wheels you have (poor eyesight, my bad). I'm planning to mount a new set of mud tires and wheels and on my truck as well and I'm currently sorting out my options.

Factory wheels and tires still. Goodyear wrangler territory at 275/65 r18 on the stock chromes that come with the XLT chrome package

Axed

I saw that on FB. I’m hearing it’s due to the circuit chip shortage. My guess is due to our dictators in Washington. SMH

He explains it pretty well in the video.

It's a very niche product that's doesn't sell well.

Less horsepower and torque than the 3.5 twin turbo too.

Fuel economy no better than the 3.5.
