It has a power output of 340 PS (250 kW; 335 hp) and 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) of torque.
As with the other AJDs, it has a compacted graphite iron block that reduces weight while increasing engine block strength.
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.
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 in low demand for a vehicle with a $6000–$8000 premium over its gasoline models.
