    Spying: Ford F-150 Diesel Caught On Video

      The Ford F-150 Diesel, Now On Video

    Last month, we reported that Ford is currently testing a diesel engine for the F-150. Pictures at the time showed a unique exhaust tip (a Venturi exhaust tip that serves a cooler for after treatment systems) and the photographer mentioned hearing the distinctive clatter of a diesel engine. But pictures can only tell so much. Wouldn't it be nice if we had audio or video evidence?

    Guess what? AutoGuide got a video from a spy photographer who was following an F-150 mule out on the public. The video provides audible evidence that a diesel engine is under the hood.

    As we reported last month, the engine in question is a turbocharged 3.0L V6 that is under the hood of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport Td6. Power is rated at 254 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. AutoGuide speculates that the diesel could be paired with a new ten-speed automatic.

    The diesel engine is expected to join the F-150 sometime next year.

      A Deville Concours. These were rare when new and rarer now.  These were the high end version that came with the more powerful northstar and magnaride. Concours got all the new suspension tech through this generation as it came out.

      So you need to figure out what that would have cost you in the Trailblazer SS.

      For our first year of the EV9, my wife put on 16,871 miles. Average cost for public charging in the greater Seattle area is 25 cents per kW. Across the state we see rates run from 20 cents to 60 cents in the most remote places. Home charging is 10 cents per kW. 1yr total electrical cost is $632 and this includes 4 public charges for road trips. So my cost per mile unless I did my math wrong is 3.7 cents per mile. No oil changes, no other maintenance.

      Absolutely, but I'm talking about like verse like. You're sorta in the same situation I am in. I have a nearly paid off Avalanche with only 63k miles on it, so buying a Silverado EV to save on gas doesn't math. It sounds like you're not putting a lot of miles on it then, which is also valid.  Differing driving habits change the math. @G. David Felt sounds like he's on the road a lot. My mileage usage varies significantly each month so its difficult to make the case for an EV unless I bought one solely to put business miles on and save the Avalanche for personal driving. For April, I claimed over $1600 in mileage. May will probably be around $400. As I said... it depends. In this image, the chart is set to 15,000 miles a year, $3.50/g for gas, and 25c/kW for electricity.

      There's also the massive price difference between a brand new EV9 and a 2017 Navigator, probably about $50,000. That's A LOT of miles to cover that gap. This tank that cost $68 to fill from 1/4 tank was last filled up on 4/5. I went a month and $30.75 is way more than I go through in a week, because I don't drive 300 miles in a week.
