Discuss, what say you?
Wonder why they would do that when they are so proud of their EcoBoost?
Markets and strategies change. Kinda like Chevy claiming that the aluminum body was expensive and junky but now Chevy also has one. Gotta sell what's on the lots before you brag up the latest and greatest new technology.
Chevy said the aluminum bed was junk Chevy has a steel bed so you can drop tool boxes and rocks in it and only get dents that will rust not holes lolMarkets and strategies change.

If the engine is made by ford than I'm sure they will keep with there long tradition of making POS diesel engines like they have since they scraped the 7.3. I've always been a Ford guy but they really suck at making diesels
Don't you mean Navistar sucks at making diesels? Navistar made the 7.3L, 6.0L, and 6.4L. The current 6.7L is In-House Ford from the ground up and they're as good as anything in their class.
You'd be hard pressed to find a significant difference in durability and reliability between Ford, Chevy, and Ram's current 6.7/6.6/6.7's on the road today.
I'm with ya. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.I don't understand the fascination with diesels in the 1/2 tons. I currently run a 3/4 ton diesel (for pulling a 5th wheel) and in the near future when I get rid of the camper I will get a 1/2 ton gasser without question. I guess the mileage would be a little better and a little more torque but doesn't appear to be worth it when you factor in the upfront cost, maintenance costs and potential winter issues. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice to tow with it and if you tow that much you probably have a 3/4 ton already. Maybe I'm way off base here??????
