"The F-Series Super Duty with a Power Stroke Diesel is a well-proven combination: 98.9 percent of all trucks with Power Stroke Diesel engines built since 1994 are still on the road," Freese added.
The new 6.0-liter Power Stroke Diesel will be built later this year at Navistar's Indianapolis Engine Plant for high-volume F-Series Super Duty trucks and at its new plant in Huntsville, Ala. for other applications. The 5-speed TorqShift automatic will be built at Ford's Sharonville (Ohio) Transmission Plant.
The new powertrain will be available on mid-2003 model year F-Series Super Duty and Excursion models.
