It seems like America is slowly, but surely changing its mind about diesel.

Last week we reported on Dodge fitting a 3,0-litre diesel in its famous Ram, which made Ford sit up and take notes. Rumour has it, Ford is currently working on its own 3,0 diesel, codenamed “lion”. With a name like that, we expect great things.

The new diesel engine will reportedly on be available in 2018. That’s right around the time the new Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator are expected, which means these two models might make use of the above mentioned diesel powertrain as well.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
