low sulfur by rickler

Low sulfur diesel fuel in the United States will be mandatory in mid-2006. Europe made low sulfur mandatory in 2003 and half the new cars sold there are diesel. Can't Ford take this as a omen for things to come?
 
I love the new F-150. But I can't get myself to get a truck that gets 14mpg while it could get 28mpg with a diesel.

And it would be nice if they focused a lot more on reliability and quality of these vehicles. I agree that what is happening makes little sense. What is wrong with a 250 HP, 400 ft-lbs turbodiesel in a 3/4 ton pickup? If you need a 600 HP diesel with 2,000 ft-lbs of torque, buy a Peterbilt tractor truck.

They're coming out with a 6-cylinder diesel in the 150 near the end of 2007 from what I've heard - Patience my man, patience!!

Hi,
 
I love the idea, but where did you get this information. I'd love to know more before I plunk down money this year for a gas guzzler.

OK, first off the deisel F-150 will be available at Ford dealers this year. It will be a 2007 model year vehicle released around August or September of 2006. So if you are waiting for the deisel wait just a few more months. No idea as to the cost on the deisel option.

Believe it or not I called my Ford dealer. We've been wondering when it was set to be released and they go to a car show every year hosted by Ford for Ford dealers. They told them and showned them the new vehicle. Try calling your dealer. If they attended they will know about it

Ok, this really blows but Ford just put the brakes on the release of the 6 cylinder diesel for the F-150 and expedition. Some kind of BS about problems they are having. They say it is still coming but not in Sept of this year like they originally planned. No new release date was given. This is killing me.

But I wonder if when you total up the higher maintenence costs on a diesel, combined with the cost difference (which will assuredly be higher), are you really saving that much money?
 
Just wondering.
