I work at the Oakville plant in Canada. We will be an overflow plant for the two American plants that currently build Super Duty trucks. The retool of the plant is currently in the demolition stage. Ford has added Super Duty production to Canada for three reasons 1) Large Ev's are too expensive, and the market will not support a 3 row ev/suv at this time. 2) Ford currently is at max production at its other two Super Duty plants and can not keep up with demand. 3) Finally, it is a statigic move against the UAW. Kentucky Truck is one of Fords largest plants in the US and is Fords biggest money maker. During negotiations, the UAW shut down this plant and cost them millions of dollar. By adding production in Canada, they take away some of the unions striking power.

The only way a hybrid diesel would work for me would be if the "battery" fully takes over in park/idle to power the ac and radio so I'm not suffocating in the heat while watching over a jobsite. It would be awesome to save fuel that way. Otherwise, I'm just not sure where hybrid power can really help a diesel. Doesn't do anything on the low gears, cant really help on highway speeds either as far as my mechanical knowledge extends.

Give or take how extreme the temperature is then that’s how much longer you can go with the engine off. But 15-20 minutes off and about 2 minutes on is a good ball park to go by for winter time.

Give me a f150 lighting for 35k-40k and I might have look into buying it. 60k+? F that. I drive by this ford dealership every day and I see the same f150 lightings, f150 reg trucks, mach e and broncos on their lot. The same ones! This is going on 3 months now.
