The origins of the long-awaited F-150 diesel engine began about ten years ago when Ford teased it at the 2008 North American International Show, advertising a possible 2010 release. Due to a variety of factors, not least of which being the 2008 recession, the F-150's diesel option never saw the light of day until now. Ford-lovers everywhere are getting ready for the debut of this new engine and we can't wait to see what Ford will do with the increasingly popular style of truck engine.
