Automedia says that although the expected hybrid version is not yet in radar range, a V6 turbo-diesel is in the offing and should be part of the facelifted F-150’s 2018 launch.

The redesigned full-size truck with an aluminum body and pickup bed was expected to get better gas-mileage numbers than earlier F-150s.
