Ford said final Power Stroke deliveries will continue through late this year.
Ford hailed the diesel engine as one of the main selling points of the profitable pickup’s midcycle freshening in 2018, touting its performance capabilities for customers who wanted to tow and haul more. Officials said then they expected roughly 5 percent of customers would select the diesel option.
The engine, a variant of the Lion diesel that Ford builds for use in Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles, is made in England. It produces 250 hp and 440 pound-feet of torque.
Ford said at the time that the engine’s 30-mpg highway rating made the F-150 the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market. The engine was carried over into the redesigned truck, which debuted last year.
Now, however, Ford is pivoting to electrified options, including the PowerBoost hybrid and, next year, the battery-electric F-150 Lightning.
The company still offers diesel engines in its Super Duty pickups.
