The other big news is improved oil pump and oil system that used to shyte its pants at around 160,000 km.
Land Rover paid for the emission upgrades to bring to USA but then switched to own design I-6,
so Ford paid for second round of upgrades and stuck it in F150 but basically told no one it now had a diesel.

I wonder if the move to stick it into f-150 was solely based on keeping the plant running till Ranger V6 production started, and not having to mothball the line and lay workers off?

Have Also heard that the V6 Diesel engine is the Volkswagen sourced one, rather then the ford one from f150. Any truth to that?

Even after the reveal and Ford telling everyone it is their own V6, people still want to make up rumours. Please tell me it wasn't the dealer who told you that? He should be fired if he knows so little about the product.
