Year after year, the Ford F-150 continues to blow away the competition with some incredible innovation. A couple of years ago, Ford starting using\u00a0high-strength, military-grade aluminum to build the truck. The resulting improvements to handling<\/a> and efficiency scores have put the rest of the full-size pickup truck class on notice. For the 2018 model year, Ford is changing the game<\/a> again by introducing the company’s first diesel engine for the F-150 platform. The brand new turbocharged, 3.0-liter, Power Stroke V-6 diesel engine will be mated to the automaker’s 10-speed automatic transmission, a segment-first. Houston Ford expects the first 2018 F-150 trucks to be available in the showroom later this fall. The new diesel engine will be available later in the truck’s production cycle.<\/p>\n
