[quote macphanatic]I heard rumors that Ford was going to intro a diesel (somewhere in the 4.4L range) that would be available in the Expedition, F150 and Land Rover..
The engine that was supposed to be in the 150s,

Fords programming would have brought the HP up quite a bit. But, given the problems with its big brother, Ford backed out. Nissan is suppposedly working with Navistar on an updated version of this engine.
With diesel ~30% higher than unleaded, and the new emissions equipment increasing the price and complexity of these engines, it will be interesting to see if the market really exists.
