Anyone know anything about it? Is this something we should run out and buy
as
our new boat hauler?

It is a way to fight socialism, after all.

I get a kick out of the ad copy ..... "If you want something right, build it
yourself".
Ford has been purchasing their turbo diesels from Navistar International.
The 6.0L was a disaster. The 6.4L replacement was better, but still not
perfect.
Ford and Navistar were in a ****ing contest about who was responsible for
warranty claims on these engines. Now that the contract is up, this ad is
obviously a poke in the eye to Navistar by Ford.

I noticed that also. I'm hoping to hear some good things about this engine.
We'll see.
