http://jalopnik.com/assets/resources/2008/04/2010-Ford-F_150-Diesel.jpgRemember how we told you about those leaks from the Ford dealer conference earlier this month indicated the 2010 Ford F-150 (http://jalopnik.com/379127/2010-ford-f+150s-new-44l-v8-diesel-engine-gets-leaked-to-internet) would get that shiny new 4.4L V8 diesel engine? Well, spy photog to the car and truck stars, Brenda Priddy, claims she's got this photo of a 2010.5 (that half means it's either half the truck Ford thinks it is or it means it'll be a mid-model year refresh) Ford F-150 mule with that big, new diesel under the hood. Why does she think it's the diesel engine mule? Well, it's those tell-tale dual exhausts, that's how. Full report from Priddy after the jump.
Scoop: Ford's 2010.5 F150 Diesel.... Sources at Ford's recent dealer's meeting recently revealed plans for a 4.4-liter V8 diesel, and we caught the first mules earlier today! The dual exhaust off to the side is the number one give-a-way to the true identity of this test mule. Our spies are telling us to expect about 340-horsepower and (and torque at 430 lb-ft.). After the launch of the 4.4-liter in the F150, the powerplant will appear in the Expedition, Navigator, E-Series Vans and Super Duty trucks. Photo Credit: Brian Williams for Brenda Priddy & Company
