Most people expect diesel engines to be loud and annoying. But the new Ford F-150 Power Stroke is smooth as butter.
Most folks that haven’t driven a diesel in some time typically share the same sentiments toward them. They think that diesels are noisy, dirty, and oftentimes, downright annoying. But things have changed drastically in the diesel world in recent years. To the point that oil burners like the 2018 Ford F-150 Power Stroke behave, well, like gas-powered trucks. Except with more towing power and better fuel economy.
Overall, they found the Ford F-150 Power Stroke to be “everything we’ve come to know about the latest F-150, but with a significant economy advantage.” They also lament about the engine’s smoothness, in particular.
High praise, indeed. But the F-150’s new Power Stroke has earned every bit of it.
