I guess. But what the hell is Ford gonna do now?? Pretty late in the game for a deal like this to happen. Ford cant sell a super duty without a diesel!

uh oh. that isn't good for Ford. i'll be interested to see this quarter's earnings after this fiasco. if it goes for more than a month it could lead to $11.6 billion in revenue loss.

I suspect the new power choke "twin turbo" to be little more than a sales gimmick to create interest. Duh hey its got two of them thangs that's better... Right?
