When Ford Philippines announced that the next-gen F-150 will make its debut using a diesel powertrain, many are thrilled. It seems like Filipino car buyers still prefer a diesel-powered pickup truck instead of gasoline which was used when the model made its comeback in the local market last year.
All-new Ford F-150
The wait is bound to be over as Ford Philippines will add the all-new F-150 Lariat to its lineup this month. The diesel-powered all-new F-150 is expected to make its local launch on November 26. Based on our previous report, the full-size pickup truck will be powered by a 3.0-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel engine that sends power to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic. Aside from that, no further specifications have been disclosed.
Following the US-spec Ford F-150, the said powertrain is capable of generating 250 hp and 597 Nm of torque. As for the exterior and interior bits, the Ford F-150 Lariat will likely come with an LED lighting setup around the truck, 18-inch aluminum wheels, a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, and a 12-inch infotainment screen.
A more innovative driving experience
It is still unclear whether the upcoming Ford F-150 will offer other variants that come with a gasoline powertrain and a 4x2 system. If so, some gasoline mills could include the following: 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost, 3.5-liter Powerboost Full Hybrid V6, 3.5-liter EcoBoost, and a 5.0-liter V8 engine.
In a report by Autoindustriya.com, the Blue Oval company will reportedly offer the all-new PH-spec Ford F-150 for Php 3,398,000. This means that the upcoming model is Php 400,000 more than the outgoing top-spec F-150. Given that it will now be coming on its new 14th-generation version, a price bump like this is expected.
Ford Philippines will close 2021 strong
Aside from the Ford F-150, its smaller pickup truck sibling, the Ford Ranger, will also make its global debut this November. Both all-new models will soon further boost Ford’s model lineup of pickup trucks.
