We drove the diesel-powered
for the first time just over a year ago and liked just about everything about it. The engine, a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 based on a unit built by Jaguar
, makes 250 horsepower and a healthy
pound-feet of torque. It’s refined for a
, offering smooth power delivery, a quiet idle and class-leading
. Unfortunately, the engine’s been limited to upper-level Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum models, putting it out of reach for the majority of
shoppers. Thanks to customer and
demand,
changing that for 2019, offering the engine in the mid-grade F-150 XLT.
The XLT trim makes up the largest percentage of F-150 sales by a sizable margin, meaning the Power Stroke will be available on 75 percent of the F-150 mix. Part of that is the XLT’s relatively reasonable (at least in the context of full-size trucks) base price of $35,775. That said, there are some stipulations. To get the Power Stroke on an F-150 XLT, you must choose equipment group 302A. The $4,345 302A package adds features such as heated and power-operated front seats, remote start, 18-inch wheels and chrome trim. It’s also only available on SuperCab (extended) or SuperCrew (four-door) models. All diesels are paired with Ford’s 10-speed automatic.
The Power Stroke is $4,995 in place of the 3.3-liter V6, $4,000 in place of the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 and $3,000 in place of the 5.0-liter V8. That means the cheapest diesel-powered model, a F-150 SuperCab 4×2 302A, starts at $46,255. Not cheap, but, until the new
EcoDiesel or Silverado diesel hit the streets, it’s the only oil-burning full-size pickup in town.
