Wow.

Just screwing around on Build and Price and you can push this thing to almost $120k without too much BS.

Just wait until you see one rolling coal with a 6inch exhaust

Guess the main benefit is MPG?

Give me the 6.2L

It’s too flashy for me, but I can appreciate the technology in that thing. I want a 36 speaker stereo in my daily driver. Total road trip machine!

Really disappointed to see GM with the same power output on the 5.3 and 6.2 since 2014.

I like that little engine ... even tho oil pump maintenance will be a prob when she grows old!

If I'm not mistaken, it's pretty rare to have a diesel option in a luxury vehicle. The 6.6 dirty max should be an option.

I'd take that diesel over an EcoJunk any day. Ford really needs to put that or a V8 in the Navigator.

You not a fan of pulling the transmission to change your oil pump belt?

Lincoln should an aluminum block version of the 7.3 and make it a $2500 option. I'd be interested to see how it sells.

So an overly complicated diesel with high fuel costs over an overly complicated v6 turbo that runs on 87 octane? Seems reasonable.
