F-150 DIESEL TO BE PRESENTED IN DETROIT HALL
In the last show of Detroit 2017 was presented the last update of the most successful full size pickup in the American market, the Ford F-150 2018, and already at that time the brand warned that a future diesel version was under way. Now, exactly one year later, in the 2018 edition of the Detroit Motor Show, will arrive this new version, the first equipped with this type of mechanics in the long history of the model.Although it is still a few days before the opening of the show, Ford staff decided to reveal the first images and most of the specs of this new version, which is one of the biggest news in the history of the F-150, Ford's best selling model in your home market.

The new Ford F-150 Power Stroke Diesel will feature a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 that delivers 253 hp and 597 Nm of maximum torque at 1,750 rpm. This version will come exclusively coupled with the automatic transmission of 10 speeds, which was modified for that version. The approved road consumption was also confirmed: 30 miles per gallon or 12.75 km / l.

Their consumption figures are evidently the ones approved according to the EPA cycle, so they can be considered real, therefore, fantastic for a model of its size. In addition, its load capacity is very good, up to 916 kilos of cargo and can tow up to 5,170 kilos.

This new version will be available in both 4x2 and 4x4 versions, with the possibility of several cab types and various rear bucket lengths, both 1.68 and 1.83 meters in length. Ford will begin accepting orders for the new Ford F-150 Power Stroke Diesel this January and the first deliveries will be in the spring of the northern hemisphere, though for the time being no more specific date has been specified. In relation to your equipment, it is expected to be similar to the petrol versions.
