Where's my base model diesel? :(
Small trucks
Traded in my mustang and got a truck.
Single cab, short box, and with the 5.0
yeah but the diesel is sexy as hell!
Even tho it ain't gona do anything much differently than a gasser except possibly cost more to run
well they used to be better on fuel and more reliable.. now with all the emissions crap I wouldn't fuck em with your dick neither. Theyve been ruined just as theyre brining em here.
Ha Ha! Made you look.

FUCK yes….
did u have to factory order that config ? that trucks rare as hens teeth and a "sport" model to…
what did u pay ?
ps more pics plz…
Some one custom ordered it then bailed. saw it in a random email from Ford, thought to my self "damn that's bad ass". Costs $31000. Best part was I got $15000 trade in on my stang, 2014 v6 base(payed $21000 2.5 years ago) with 70000kms, needing tires and brakes, and with a $13000 icbc claim on it.
It weights right around 4000lbs and has just under 400HP. It's fast. The "Sport" package just adds painted bumpers, fog lights, and a sticker. Bench seat seats 3 just fine, and even though it's a single cab it's got a lot of room behind the seats. And even though it's a base model truck, it still has all the cool Bluetooth shit.
Needs to be lowered, or atleast leveled out in the back. Needs a limited slip diff, because that's not even a factory option any more. And maybe a blower to fill the extra space on top of the motor.
Without commentary…….

yea i figured that was custom ordered…
thats a sweet truck…
that truck with a 6" drop would look badass and some non factory wheels.. call it done

Diesel fuel is often more expensive than RUG in north america and specificaly now in BC , so were small diesels in small trucks actualy good on fuel or was diesel just cheaper in the countries where you could actualy buy a small diesel truck ?
repairs can be very expensive on a TDi, also they sometimes don't start so well in the cold
Now days gas engines put out lots of HP and are very cheap/reliable
this^^ would all still apply to a base model or a loaded model but has anybody done cost per km analysis of a RUG vs Diesel model, how long do you need to run one to pay off the increased cost of the engine and how do you do that with the fuel cost all over the place and often [HTML_REMOVED] RUG as it is nowadays or is it unnecessary because they are just so fucking sexy?

Flat plane crank out of a GT350R would sound amazing out of that truck. :couple:
Yeah not the best "motor" for a truck, but it still makes me smile just thinking about it.

I can get an axle flip kit to drop the rear 4 or 6", the front only needs to come down 2-3". But no one makes a drop spindle yet, and I don't like just lowering springs.

yes. at great length. see this article about the then new Dodge ram ecodiesel. the math is compelling and it takes a shit long time to pay off the premium for the diesel. however the guy also states the driving difference and performance is significant enough to be a moot point for some.

Thank-you for that, instead of just repeating the mantra actualy doing the math or at least finding some math.
That dodge is a half ton so even a little bigger than the mid size focus group

Diesel and gas prices are the same here. Use that figure and the fuel savings for the highway driving would be $450 a year, and therefore requires eight years to break even.
What it doesn't measure is mileage when under load, which would be useful for someone who pulls a trailer or carries a big load.
A friend bought the ecodiesel. Here it's almost $6K extra. Definitely lugs better than the V6.

I've been finding diesel is usually a couple cents cheaper than gas.
My old truck was an easy $100 a week on gas. New truck much more efficient at +- $100 for two weeks.
With the cost of the truck I'm not saving money but I am enjoying the diesel. I'm really looking forward to trying it out with my trailer.
