Ford says in a news release that it will introduce the all-new 2008 F-Series Super Duty pickup early next year. The truck's optional 6.4-liter Power Stroke engine will be Ford's cleanest, quietest pickup diesel ever, with particulate emissions equivalent to a gasoline engine, the company claims.
The new Power Stroke diesel engine will displace 6.4-liters, which is an increase in displacement from the current 6.0-liter V-8. It will be the first pickup engine in North America to use a high precision, high pressure, common-rail fuel injection system featuring piezo-electric injectors. These advanced injectors allow ultra precise timing of fuel injection for quietness and better emissions, Ford explained.
The engine has advanced emissions equipment, including a new diesel particulate filter that scrubs black smoke from exhaust gases and periodically cleans itself via advanced engine controls.
Pricing, fuel economy and engine specifications ââ¬â including power and torque ratings ââ¬â will be available closer to the vehicle going on sale in early 2007, Ford said.
