I would have to disagree. I see plenty of women(including soccer moms) driving diesel powered trucks. I think if you tell tell them they are going to get 25+ mpg's, they would buy them.

Don't tell me. Tell Ford. :p

Was just stating an Expy stereotype. :)

EcoBoost in the Navigator? Seems like that could hurt sales, not help them! Personally, I would think that the EcoBoost would sell better in the Expedition.

But then again, everyone I know with the EcoBoost in an F150 wishes they had gotten the V8!

Ford’s global director, Matt VanDyke, confirmed the week before last, that the Lincoln Navigator would get the EcoBoost V-6, while the Expedition will hang onto V-8 power.

That’s more likely to further separate the two vehicles (they are also expected to differ more in appearance too) and because of the fact that more owners tow with the Expedition than the Navigator.

The Expedition will keep the more heavy-duty V-8 which can endure prolonged towing. A diesel engine is possible, but for now, has not been discussed in any near plans.

Not ungrateful, just disappointed no diesel option. Also, what about a hybrid model?

I'm not sure why anyone has not done a hybrid diesel it seems to make the most sense. Electric for city and Diesel for hwy. should get huge MPG and still tow a house.
