In Reply to: F150 3.0 V6 posted by Plowhand on January 19, 2021 at 08:01:50:
The 3.0 V6 in an F-150 would be a diesel. (The gas V6's are 2.7 turbo, 3.5 NA, and 3.5 turbo.) With 250 hp at a low, very usable engine speed (3250 rpm) this diesel should perform very well in an F-150. That's the same power that my old 7.3 Powerstroke had in a much heavier F-250. Plus, with a 10-speed transmission you'd always have a suitable gear available to let the engine operate at the speed required to give you the power you need. However, the diesel engine is a very costly option and the fuel is typically more expensive as well so a person would want to do the math to see if it offers any real dollar savings over a gas engine in spite of its better economy. You'll find that you need to put on a lot of miles before it even breaks even. Just my opinion here but to me a diesel engine just doesn't quite make sense in a half-ton pickup for the way most of these trucks are used, especially considering all the added complexity that modern diesels require to meet the same emissions standards that gas engines can achieve relatively easily.
