Will a diesel Bronco be in the mix soon ?

I believe Europe has a diesel motor that might make it to America . Maybe improved mpg .

There will be a Hybrid or a full EV before there will ever be a diesel

I believe it will be a deseil hybrid.

No

I highly doubt it......

Ford already has diesel Rangers all over the world, but you won't see one in America. I expect the take rate would be to low for it to be profitable. And "profit" is quite important.....I think.

Whoohoo that would be an awesome option. Sure hope they offer one

Pardon my ignorance . . . but do we need it? (I don't!)

Sadly I doubt it

There was a thread for this last week. I did the math for the Wrangler diesel vs V6 MPG

When diesel is $1.00 more than gas - which historically, for about a 10-15 year period it was - then the diesel costs more to run than the V6. At $0.50 more per gallon than gas as it is locally today the diesel costs $100 less in fuel a year.

Great if your a penny pincher, but then the diesel is a $4800 up charge so it will take 48 years driving 15k miles a year. And then you still have to put up with the constant emissions equipment failures costing in many cases $5,000+ a repair.

No thanks, give me a gas V8 and I’ll be happy.

People are too concerned with MPG in a world where that should be the last concern on consumers minds.

The offshore Ford diesels in Rangers I suspect do not have to deal with ultra-low S fuel, diesel exhaust fluid, etc.
Diesel is dying in the US.

I’m sure glad not everyone like the same flavor of ice cream. Everyone likes different options, colors, tires, tops, number of doors, engines, transmission options.

Me I would like to see a choice for different colors, transmissions, engines, and so on.

I like cookies and cream ice cream too!

This, we used to have good diesels.

Find a 90s GM diesel full-size SUV and Your getting 25-30MPG (specifically on the 6.2L) vs the gas getting 14MPG. No emissions or urea, and back then diesel fuel cost less than gas.

Diesel can’t do those things any longer, it’s a dead end unless we start letting diesels pollute like the modern DI turbo engines can.

I really like the idea of a diesel option. The after market options could really be worth looking into. Bigger turbo, cold air intake, updated tuner, larger tuned exhaust. Man it would be cool to cruise by a Jeep with the top off and smoke em.

Don’t think so. You can order a powerstroke for your f-150, but I believe diesel sales account for less than 5 percent of units.

Overall reviews are positive but with a 3.5 EB offering more tow capacity and for $3k less, think Ford scraps it and won’t last much longer.
