If this is the 3.0L Lion engine, it's in some pretty good company:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_AJD-V6/PSA_DT17It was originally developed with Peugeot-Citroen.
The F150 was originally supposed to get the 4.4L V8 diesel engine, but costs killed it. This engine is somewhat cheaper to produce.
I'm a little surprised they didn't use the 3.2L 5 cylinder diesel (~200 HP and 350 ftlb of torque) that's going into the full size transit.
