2020 Ford F-150 3.0L Power Stroke Diesel Specs, Price and Release

0

It is official – the 2020 Ford F-150 diesel is out. Now, we are waiting only for the EPA to give a green light to the new Powerstroke unit. It will be a 3.0-liter displacement. Turbocharged, the drivetrain creates 250 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. But, the Ford F-150 diesel 2020 is still not available for purchase. The release date will follow as soon as EPA checks efficiency and emissions.

However, fans who eagerly waiting have no reasons to worry about. Ford wouldn’t launch the new engine if they were not sure it will pass all tests. These procedures are detailed after the big scandal with fake VW’s reports. Now, EPA is taking more checks before they allow new diesel to step into US market. A similar situation is with the competition of the F-150 truck. Both Ram 1500 Diesel and Silverado 1500 Diesel are still waiting for the official debut.

2020 Ford F-150 Diesel Specs

Under the hood of the new truck after the update, we will get a diesel engine. Ford announced Powerstroke unit for the upcoming truck. We know it is a turbodiesel 3.0-liter displacement. The company also released its specs soon after the debut at the International Auto Show in Detroit. This engine can make up to 250 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque. This should improve the towing capacity of the existing F-150. Well, we still don’t know precisely, but the 2020 Ford F-150 Diesel will be able to haul more than 11,500 pounds.

Fuel Economy

The new 2020 Ford F-150 Diesel will improve the fuel economy. Current truck’s best output is with a 2.7-liter V6 engine. This powertrain returns 20/26 mpg for city/highway drive. Slightly worse (1 mpg less) F-150 can do with either twin-turbo 3.5-liter or 3.3-liter V6. Diesel will go 850 miles from one refill. The fuel tank capacity is 26 gallons. That means the F-150 Diesel can return 32 mpg combined.

2020 Ford F-150 Diesel Redesign

Diesel model of the legendary truck will carry the same changes as the standard model. Well, we still don’t know exactly which trim levels are going to be available for 2020 Ford F-150 Diesel. Whatsoever, the styling of the pickup is offering a lot of new features and parts. Well, the new edition is not bringing a huge overhaul. But, on the other hand, minor updates are stylish and make the new pickup more premium. Rear bumper and exhaust tips are something that true fans will definitely notice.

Interior

F-150 truck is selling over 900k units per annum. With the new version, the truck is a favorite to reach 1 million sold copies in 2020. If diesel starts life as bosses are expecting, this number will only rise. One of the main advantages of the F-150 will be its interior – comfort, and safety at first place. The 2020 Ford F-150 Diesel will bring many features, same as for the petrol model.

For example, there are both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also, the Sync infotainment system is there. However, depending on trim level, we will see various accessories as part of that service. Navigation is reserved for high-end trims. Other connectivity options are Bluetooth and USB ports.

Safety

The new 2020 Ford F-150 Diesel brings many safety features. Well, the bad thing is that some premium features are available only as optional accessories and for extra money.

Most of the safety accessories are getting good or five score rating. The only thing that needs improvements is headlight visibility. Forward-collision warning is an optional service, as well as automatic emergency braking. From Lariat trim level buyers can get adaptive cruise control or blind spot monitoring.
