Hello,
I am very interested in owning a 3.0l F-150 but am very fearful of having a unique powerplant, especially one that is manufactured in a shared facility (land rover diesels). I have read that JLR is dropping orders for V6 diesels from the Dagenham plant, perhaps building them in another facility/their own, whatever. Does anyone else have concerns about finding parts support 15 years on if this engine is only produced for as long as the Ecodiesel, for example? What is more likely, a Gen 2 3.0 in a couple years or it beind discontinued? I apologize in advance for being a downer....
