PowerStroke 4.5-liter V-6 diesel engine

[PKitchen]

Found this interesting read regarding a supposed PowerStroke 4. 5 liter V6 diesel. Ford is apparently putting this in a tilt-cab truck. I thought the 4. 5 liter PowerStroke was cancelled? I wonder if this means we will soon be seeing the 4. 5 liter diesel in the F150 and Expedition.

Ford did cancel the order as far as using the engine in the F150 and Expedition, but International opted to continue the engine's development in hopes either Ford would reconsider, or they could sell it to another manufacturer.

The trucks referred to are medium duty tilt cabs similar to the Hino, Isuzu, Nissan trucks sold in the US. These trucks are being built by Navistar for Ford. Blue (Blue Oval, Ford trademark) Diamond (Triple Diamond, Navistar trademark) is a joint venture factory where Navistar builds medium duty trucks for Ford.

200 hp and 440 are respectable numbers. Interesting. I was looking at these the other day at the gm dealer. Isuzus of course but they are a neat truck.

I saw one of the International cab overs at the Mid america truck show in Louisvile, Kentucky. It had the V6 in it, and had a twin turbo set up with them in series, I didnt get a chance to talk to the rep, but i thought this was interesting. I wonder if they arent replicateing the Cat ACERT engines?
