I am, reading with dismay
I am, reading with dismay that Ford is doing away with the 3.0 L diesel. I thought it was the perfect answer for me. I was going purchase a Transit 350 cut away van for an RV. The 3.0 L diesel would be a perfect fit.
I had an unfortunate experience eco-boost gas engine in my 2011 Lincoln MKT.
It was fine for 2 years then on incline, up or down the car would hesitate before endangering the transmission then the car would take off like a rocket. We all know that these turbo boost engines get all their power by high reving/ I took the car back to the dealership 3 times and each time they told me car was fine
After the 4th accident with the Lincoln where I ended up on the neighbors front lawn and destroying his fence and destroying a patients car in front of neighbors. I traded in the Lincoln for A jeep Grand Cherokee Which had the Dodge Eco-diesel> This a competitor to Fords 3.0l Diesl. They have comparable HP and torque. Driving the Jeep was refreshing because the torque came on at low revs not like these high reving smaller engines. it was like driving a V8 from the 70's.
A high reving small displacement engine has no place in a work truck or a camper RV. So if the Ford 3.0 L diesel is not available I will look to Dodge or Mercedes with turbo diesels for my cutaway van.
