Ford has AXED this F150! Here's why..

This truck is a very rare configuration and as of July 2021, it is no longer available. In this video, we also call the winner of the Bronco Sport Giveaway! This is a 2021 Ford F150 Lariat with the Sport Appearance Package. What makes this truck special is the 3.0L Powerstroke Diesel engine. Ford is no longer offering that engine for the F150, here is why...

Ford never promoted the engine, the never updated it or improved it, and they made it a $4, 000 option. Compared to competitors they made it hard to want that engine.

I traded 3.5eco Lariat for the 3.0 Powerstroke. On paper the 3.5eco looks impressive but it comes with one thing Ford won't tell you. Comes with Heat and lots of it. The Powerstroke pulls the camper with no issues where the 3.5eco would go into limp mode. Same camper same mountain.

I think they have a legitimate market for these engines, they just never invested into advertising for them. Love the videos man, I remember binge watching this channel in like 2012 when y’all would post videos of your used inventory, like a 2007 f150 king ranch or something lol. Keep up the great work!

HORRIBLE MARKETING !!!! Had this engine been offered in an STX / XLT trim from the jump... There would have been far greater sales for this engine. I want one of these trucks so bad, but Ford priced me out of the truck before it even hit dealer lots.

I was worried when I saw the thumbnail for this video. I have the exact same truck. When I watched the video I realized they were discontinuing the motor. I have a different motor so not a big deal. Thanks for the video! I'll have to look into your blackout accessories.

I have a 2019 f150 XLT 4wd with the 3.0 diesel. After 45, 000 miles I am very happy with it. Acceptable power good mid range towing and great economy. $4, 995 option on the XLT is the biggest reason they didn’t sell. Very comfortable and unstressed on the highway, even when running speeds that are far from legal. Even up to the 107 mph governor it never seems stressed. Keep up the great work, great reviews.

Put that engine in the ford ranger. That make a great work truck. Cheap on fuel and the hp would match the lighter truck.

A buddy of mine bought one of the first F150 diesels and regularly gets north of 30 mpg on the highway. He loves his truck! He also has an F250 diesel for heavier towing, but dailys the 150.

I think Ford is making a mistake on this one… all the other brands are going all-in on diesel 1500s. Ram is in their 3rd generation, GM is making them so affordable, and now it’s being hinted that Toyota may offer a diesel in the new Tundra.

I have a 2021 XLT with 3.0 Powerstroke. I am averaging 24.5 mpg for driving around town. I only had the F150 for two months and haven’t driven any long highway trips, but initial estimates are the powersrtroke will get 30+mpg. Currently diesel #2 in Southern California is $4.19 whereas regular is upward of $4.59.

Bummer. Zero marketing, was looking to move to f150 3.0 in the next couple years. Maybe an xlt long bed will pop-up on a dealer lot later this year. If not I guess I will look at the other 1/2 ton diesel options. Slight hope they bring it back after Covid delays, since its imported (doubtful).

I have a 2018 King Ranch, with that engine and I really enjoy driving the truck. It is a roomy, quiet, smooth running truck like Mitchell mentioned. It is a unique combination to have. I have had a lot conversations in parking lots and at the fuel pump, putting diesel fuel in a F150. Overall very happy with this F150. But the numbers tell it all. Hope I can get parts and find someone to work on it in the future.

[blueryxfalls]

don't blame them, US diesel emissions regulations are just not feasible technically speaking

[erickisel]

Love the Lead Foot and those 20” wheels, truck looks sinister

[ubertocreote]

I looked at the horsepower/torque chart again. 440 ft lbs @ 1750 rpm. That’s pretty dang good in my book.

[matthewjulian]

The Diesel motor will outlast the eco boost and get better fuel economy. What killed this motor option is the extra cost, and lack of promotions. The future is hybrids and full electric.
If you need a diesel just get a super duty.

Ordered on January 30, built June 24, completed July 13 shipped and expected August 8-14 from Decatur. As of July 26 was in Louisville destined to arrive eastern NC on date I specified. Love your U-tubes.

They never marketed this engine and could've made more sales

[lisajeter]

Darn! Was looking forward to getting one once the chip shortage was rectified. Wanted the 30mpg fuel consumption & the cooler running engine while towing in mountains. My F250 7.3 is 20 years old, so I think I’ll keep it another few years…

Beautiful diesel F150. Love the sound and mpg. I'm sure it would sell if Ford offered a more basic trim.
