Just released they are coming out with the 3.0 diesel in the 2018s. Along with dropping the 3.5 N/A to a 3.3 v6. 5.0 has more power along with the 10 speed. Also new 2nd gen 2.7 eb with the 10 speed. 3.5 eb will be the same as the 2017s

I was 98 percent sure I was going to get a new 17 but now I'm thinking I'll wait until the 18s. Get the newer body style and good chance most glitches will be fixed in the 3.5/10 speed.

 

I think the 18 is a better looking truck.

 

agree! Seems like most isn't liking the new front end but I think it looks good. Their making it look similar to the Super duty.

 

Not a huge fan of the new look -- looks too "car-like" up front for my taste.

The new interior colors look sweet, though!

 

I wonder who is building the new diesel?

 

I think it's in-house.

 

I like the front end better than the previous year even though it kind of has a GMC flair with the cut into the bumper. Love the look of the new F250's just way too much truck for my needs.

 

As GLC stated looks to be in house.

Everybody is speculating that the engine will be the 3.0 Lion version that Ford and Peugeot came up with for the Range Rover. The last update of that engine was in 2009 and it ended up at 271HP 440 ft lbs. But, Ford sold all of that to Tata. I doubt it is the same engine and most likely a clean sheet version of the older Powerstroke on a diet. Anyway, unless you see a FORD website describing the engine and what it is, it's a pure guess and I wouldn't run to the bank with the info. My personal opinion, which is probably as good as any, expect it to be delayed to a Job 2 offering.

 

I am liking the refresh too. Not that I don't like the current one, but I think the front end is a nice refresh. Might be time to update my 2010 by then and gives me a couple more years to prep the wife for it, lol.

 

I like the looks of it, even though it's a little too close to the SD's.

Glad to see a diesel finally in the line up. I am hopeful it will have a decent amount of power and be a notch above the Eco Diesel.

the 2018's look like they may be my year. It's always up to the CFO, but I am going to start planning for a new one now vs. putting some money and mods into this one. The 10 speed and dual fueling make the 3.5 Eco or the 5.0 pretty great options.

 

Honeycomb grilles are back!

 

GM and Ford don't have stellar reputations for building new diesel engines. GM finally had to get Isuzu involved in order to build a decent pickup truck engine and Ford's 6.0 diesel was nothing to brag about. A small diesel is a great idea I think, but I'd be a little wary about the first ones.

 

You do know the 6.0 and 6.4 weren't Ford engines don't you?

 

The 7.3, 6.0, and 6.4 are Navistar engines. The current 6.7 is an in-house Ford engine.
