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!

What I've learned in retrospect from my '14 Fusion w/1.6l Ecoboost and stick transmission: If they aren't pushing it, there's a reason. Like maybe the engine is a POS, and they're trying to get rid of the stock they have.

[@loganp7043]

@@roadrash1021 from what I hear it’s a great engine and it’s been proven in the Land Rover. In my opinion I think it’s because right now the market wants electric and Ford is going to spend the time and resources in promoting the electric 150/power boost. They have already made their point with the eco boost in the Ford gt. So now it’s time to make a point with their electric technology.

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.

[@Imafed42069]

Yeah I worked as a salesman at Ford the last 5 years. When it first came out it was only offered on a lariat trim. Then it was only offered on xlt trim with chrome package. Dealers hardly stocked them and tons of customers I talked to werent even aware Ford offered the 3.0 diesel in a F-150 and if they did they were apprehensive with it being "new". Only people who really wanted it were towing constantly and really didnt need a F-250 so it was a very nitch market.

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.

[@larrybe2900]

@@henryford2736 I think elevation plays a part in what is actual towing ability. If you are able to tow 6,000# at sea level there is a reduction off of that for every thousand feet in elevation. Technically you were towing too heavy and there probably was nothing wrong with the truck. Your limit may have become say 5k at elevation.

It is a fact of physics what is happening so if a thin mixture of air is being forced into the cylinders less air will be compressed compared to at sea level. The curve of reduction of performance in the cylinders is decreased by forcing air in but is still better than naturally aspirated engines breathing in available air. I would have to say the nature of the compression for detonation might make the difference with diesels.

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.

[@stevebalun9554]

What really did the 3L diesel Powerstroke in was the fact that the cost of diesel fuel over the past several years was at least a dollar or more per gallon then regular gasoline, the DEF, the extra cost in maintenance, and the $5,000 up charge for the 3.0 Powerstroke, all for the small return in fuel mileage made it an extremely hard sell. You can get a 2.7 L EcoBoost that gets almost the same fuel mileage, and can tow just about as much.

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.

In 2019 I HIGHLY considered the F150 3.0 diesel. I really like diesel engines, and tow occasionally for camping. My biggest problem was the price vs. super duty. Just now I built a loaded 150 diesel Platinum, and then a loaded 250 diesel Platinum. (apples to apples options between the two). The 150 is $74,920, the 250 is $82,125, or a difference of $7,200. When you are spending 75k, $7,000 difference is petty, and the super duty will hold its value better and tows like a dream. Not to mention when I purchased my super duty in 2019 incentives were great on it, and not on the 3.0 diesel that just came out. So the differential at the time was quite a bit less. So in my opinion one of the biggest problems is price point when compared to the super duty which is a far superior truck, especially when towing. Just my thoughts.

Some owners have opted out of the class action lawsuit and went straight to a fraud case: one example is Charles Margeson of California, who was awarded $214,537.34 plus legal fees ($72,564.04 was for repayment of his 2006 F-350). Margeson, along with 5 other owners who opted out of the class action lawsuits, have been awarded over US$10 million.

WHAT!!!! Cripes I was going to get one. They may be able to Tune a fish to get some over the top numbers. That push that motor to the edge. Compared to a good quality diesel that you can get hundreds of thousand of miles on. And never really work it that hard. Thats the one I want.

Why does every KZbin car video begin with, "What's up guys?"

[@GYPSY400]

You can buy a lot of gas for $3800. The break even point on the diesel vs. Gas must be over 100k miles

[@Eric-bh7jy]

Actually it’s only around 22500 miles if you average 17mpg in a 3.5l Ecco like it do

[@JohnSmith-db2oc]

I tried to buy one for years. They refused to sell one in lower trim levels.

This model is selling well in the Philippines where diesel is the preferred engine.

[@senshibat8920]

With Diesel prices on fuel its prohibitive for fleet use off farm sheets if you have propane as the main fuel on transits for less.

Just bought me a Platinum F150 3.5 with a "power boost" not an Eco boost but a power boost. It is awesome it towed my trailer better than the 6.2 I traded in. I had to watch my speed. And talk about mileage! From Monterey, ca to Bakersfield, ca. it burned 3/4 of a tank that was pulling a 7300 pound trailer going up grades. Check it out for yourselfs.

I would love that same truck in 3.5 or 5.0 and NO sun roof!!!

I lived most of my life in Brazil. There Ford offered the ranger with a 4 cylinder, 3L diesel, exactly 1/2 of your famous 6.0 diesel!

[@rustyshepard9659]

Trust me if the 6.0 is famous its for being crap

[@darrin2053]

Fords customers overwhelmingly order the ecoboost option over the 3.0L powerstroke. I myself just went with a 6.2L Silverado over the 3.0L duramax. Milage from the gas is top drawer and way more horsepower.

[@jeff40]

Great question Roger Brant!

[@TCcustoms_]

Right now there are commodity constraints on that motor (meaning they can’t get enough of them built to meet demand). Also, a lot of people have been ordering (and loving) the new Ecoboost and the new power boost engines

[@JLynchJr86]

@@TCcustoms_ I second this. We need a full video about that truck. I want to buy one, I just haven't heard anything about it.

[@JohnDiMartino]

Ford should not have limited the engine to lariat and higher trim for consumers. The diesel is way more efficient towing travel trailers and anything .let’s face it no one tows campers w half tons that weigh over 10 k so these are fine. Torque peak may not be as high as the 3.5 but it delivers the maximum torque a lot sooner. Emissions systems are too complicated on the diesels and to be honest the GM 3.0 inline 6 Duramax is much stronger engine from its inline 6 design to its power , torque ,acceleration ,and only 995.00 option ,Ford simply cannot compete,they are better off dropping it .

[@GreatBallsofVolley]

Land Rover discontinued using the motor as well, moving to their Ingenium in-line 6 mild hybrid diesel in their rigs.

[@poolrunner4404]

I’m the target market for this truck. I tow a 3,000-3,500 lb trailer everyday for my pool maintenance business. I bought a 2021 1/2 ton Silverado Duramax diesel, and it’s fantastic. I’ve owned several F-150’s from the base motor, to the 5.0L and 3.5 EcoBoost. I even had a Ram EcoDiesel. I avoided the Ram EcoDiesel and Ford F-150 Powerstroke due to issues I read about on both. I’ve never been a GM guy, but they have blown me away with the performance on their 3.0L Duramax diesel. Ford really missed the opportunity to participate in this segment.

The 3.0L Powerstroke was not meant to be in a full sized truck lol. It needs to be in the Ranger. The size, mpg and power ratings/ towing capacity would fit in great in the mid size class

440 torque at 1750 (highway speeds) it looks very practical

Hello, My 21 will be in soon... Did not get sport appearance package because of the 2tone interior. In the future I will have Ft & R Bumpers painted to Carbonized Gray. As far as Ft Grill & Side Vents... Can these items be order/replaced in Carbonized Gray? Yes I will try n make it look like Sport Appearance Package 👍🏼 In my opinion... FORD screwed up doing this! Should have been solid color! Or at least a choice...

Whatever you gave for it I'm sure you did well. They were $60k+ new. Smart move! I paid $60k for a 18 Lariat

They also wouldn't allow anyone but fleet customers to buy it in a reasonable spec truck. You have to get it in lariat or above. Can't get it in XL or XLT unless you're buying a bunch.

[@LGBFJB46]

Have they addressed the excessive undercarriage rust and lawsuits yet on the new 21’s??

[@seagullsbtn]

Same engine is in use around the world in Land Rovers. But in the US it didn't stand a chance against the Ecoboost engines and the emission regulations here.

[@superrugerblackhawk]

I think that a f150 with a larger “powerstroke” would be more successful. For a lot of people the 3L motors just don’t make the hp. They make decent torque but for me towing a lot In the mountains I just want more power.
