They are predicted the TDV6 will make up 50% of sales. I6 production will drop by 25%, putting another nail in its coffin. LPi would have covered the loss if it was available.

I6 is going to be repalaced anyway. TDi or not, deal with it.

Even though we're on the eve of a new Territory, I can't help thinking
the future lies with the new Explorer with the FWD/AWD V6 diesel in it.

Such a vehicle would enable Australia to plug into a really great design
and add our uniqueness for RHD markets throughout the region without
development costs constantly crippling a regional program like Territory.

Then again Lincoln may want an SUV platform that can go toe to toe with the BMW X5 and that SUV Merc.
