No need to speculate.
It will cost about $4000 more.
It will get slightly better MPG than the 2.7 EcoBoost.
It will be 3 seconds slower 0-60.
It will make no sense whatsoever, but a few will get all excited because it's a D.
$1000 for a tuner, turbo back exhaust and EGR delete kit? LOL, more like $3000. I suppose once you do this you'll be rolling coal.

How then do I pass state mandated annual inspections?

Diesel days are done for cars and light trucks. A lot of people hear complain about the EPA and it's rules but I'm old enough to remember smelling the exhaust of the car in front of you in traffic and the back of diesel cars and trucks covered in soot. I agree that regulations have killed diesels but I appreciate breathing clean air more. Regulations force companies to get off their butts and think of new technologies to be compliant. You hate CAFE but if it wasn't for those higher MPG regs do you think Ford would have spent the time and money to develop their Ecoboost engine line up? Nope, still would have been trucking along with an all V8 lineup.

except they are big in Europe and Asia - so whatever.
Yes recent diesels that have been put out with the new emissions requirements have had issues. And yes some of those exacerbated costs associated are also due to techs not knowing how to fix them correctly either. So keep that in mind.
Sort of like the early 80's and EGR and PCV on gas motors that made the 1984 corvette not able to spin it's wheels from the showroom floor.
And look at today. There have been a few diesels on test stands that make the emissions requirements without the particulate filters - and there is work being done to over come the use the selective catalyst (DEF).
I doubt you will see either of those soon however. cert tests are under alot of scrutiny - thanks to VW and Bosch.
Don't be too surprised if the Hybrid F150 comes with a diesel motor. GM is looking at it too.
SO no Diesel isn't deal - Rollin' coal is dead and needs to die - but diesel for use isn't.

Restore it to stock for a day or register it in a state that considers personal diesel vehicles exempt.

Oh and no this new diesel most likely won't out tow the 3.5L ecoboost with packages. Like said before the goal is to beat out the dodge ecodiesel on the fuel efficiency game.
Now I don't know if this is the case but it might also have start stop.
