HOUSTON -- Over the decades, the Ford F-150 has had updates, design changes and the record for best-selling U.S. vehicle for the last 41 years. One thing it's never had is a diesel engine, until now.
Ford announced the diesel engine option for the F-150, saying it will give the truck an estimated rating of 30 miles per gallon and a better towing capacity.
Customers will be able to place orders for the diesel truck later this month with deliveries starting in the Spring.
