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.

Plus making the 3.5V6 Ecoboost petrol nearly a $USD4000 cheaper option over the diesel means you just wouldn't get your money back in fuel savings unless you drove to the moon and back every month.
