The 4.4 L (4,367 cc) is built at Chihuahua Engine Plant in Chihuahua City, Mexico along with the 6.7L Ford Power Stroke Diesel engine available in Ford Super Duty trucks. The current (and only) application of the 4.4 L (4,367 cc) TD engine is the Land Rover Range Rover.
While in development, the 4.4 TD was rumored to be for use in the Ford F-150, Ford Expedition, and as an entry level diesel option for the Super Duty (to possibly compete with the also-rumored cancelled concept 4.5 L Duramax). No such option ever became available with Ford citing the reason as being a low demand for a vehicle with a $6000–$8000 premium over its gasoline models.
