I don't know man. It looks like something a Columbian drug dealer would drive.

The Humdinga drives on water or land

Larger than the current F-150 the amphibious truck comes with a 4.2-liter V8 diesel engine making 370 horsepower. The 4 wheel drive truck can reach speeds of up to 80 mph on land and 30 mph on water. With a combined range of 150 miles on land / 100 miles on water, Humdinga can be configured to seat up to 9 people.

The Dept. of Fish & Game up here would love the fvk out of that thing.

2018 Ford F-150 Power Stroke Diesel nets 30 mpg on the highway



gasoline-powered variants, news on the upcoming diesel model has been scarce. We know the truck's 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 will make 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque, but the all-important fuel economy figures weren't revealed until today. The new engine will net the big truck 30 mpg highway, 22 mpg city with a combined rating of 25 mpg.

That's significantly better than the outgoing Ram 1500 EcoDiesel's 27 mpg highway, 19 mpg and a combined rating of 22 mpg. That said, a new EcoDiesel is on the way for the 2019 Ram 1500, and we're sure to see some improvements over the outgoing model. The Chevy Silverado is getting a diesel, too, though we don't yet know the rating on that truck.

Fuel economy might be great, but the diesel engine also gives the F-150 11,400 pounds of towing capability and a 1,940-pound payload rating. Stripped-down commercial trucks have a bit extra, with 2,020 pounds of payload.

We haven't driven the F-150 diesel quite yet, but stay tuned soon for a full review. The truck should start hitting dealershowrooms in May.

That's excellent MPG but the thing with those diesels is the automakers charge a shitload for them so in order to get your money's worth out of 'em, you have to drive them for something like a decade or more to break even.

Just talked to the salesman I bought my GC from...ran into him at the deli.

He said they still have 2017 Big Horn left with the diesel option...and they'll sell them for less than the gas versions sold to clear out the old stock.

It costs $8k more to get a 1500 with the diesel in it and he said they'll take $10k off to get rid of 2017s. So, that means they'll take off $15k. With more torque than the hemi and 30mpg, I might check that out this weekend.

Yeah, good value I think. He just sent an email. I think this truck can be bought for about $38k...before all the shit like taxes n sech.

This is the gas one though...but with a diesel price because it's an added option or some shit.
