Sometimes you need a diesel because that's all that will do.

However, we're sure there will still be many truck fans who are sad to see the diesel go. We thought it was a fantastic addition to the F-150 lineup when we tested it in 2018. The diesel has a more usable torque curve than its gasoline cousins. Peak power arrives at 3,250 rpm and peak torque arrives at just 1,750 rpm, whereas with either of the gasoline engines you have to wind it out to 6,000 rpm to extract all its horsepower, and at least 3,000 rpm to get maximum torque.
