From the 01/10/18 Price List:

* - Revised from the previous Price List

Nitrodoc

So basically, $3k - $5k. That's about what I was expecting.

I have already made the decision to order 2 in the XLT trim - Fleets can order in XL and XLT trims.

Do you have emissions testing where you are? I hope Ford didn't cheat on this engine.

2500 more than the 3.5 eb...at 87 and diesel are pretty close in price here, both about 3.00/gal so if one person drove 10k miles a year and averaged 25 mpg with the 3.0 and another person drove 10k miles a year with the 3.5 and averaged 20, the first person would use 100 less gallons of gas per year, or save about 300 bucks. Ignoring maintenance, the break even point is a little more than 8 years down the road. Higher fuel prices lessen the time, but wherever diesel is more expensive that gas increases the time to break even. I suppose it would be fair to accept that the diesel may have a higher resale value and not worry about recouping the cost of the engine, but then it would be only fair to add in costs of upkeep, making savings negligible.


I'm in the market for a truck this year and am set on the 5.0 for reasons that have nothing to do with dollars or gallons. I can see why these engines will be bought for similar reasons. I'll drive one...had a Mercedes inline 5 diesel some years ago...loved it...who knows...people who don't need trucks buy trucks. I hope it is a winner for Ford even if it ultimately is not for me.

If you are buying a truck engine based solely on gas mileage, you need a car. You buy a truck for what it can do.

I've read through a lot of these threads, and I can't recall seeing a single post where anyone indicated a specific engine should be purchased solely for fuel economy, even if that means hindering the owners' intended use and needs. Fuel economy is definitely a factor worth discussing and taking into consideration, however, as it certainly falls into the purview of what a truck can do.

I think all the truck manufacturers disagree with you, and me. There's a huge race to get the best MPG full size truck whether it be CAFE or consumers. If I could get my truck with an option that allowed 5-6 more MPG I would definitely consider it.

FYI I just read today that Ford and Bosch are being sued for bogus emission test results on their F250 and 350 trucks from 2011-2017. Same type of issue that VW got sued for.
