What year did Ford start using DEF?
I have an older Ford truck, a 2005 model. My truck doesn’t take DEF and it made me wonder—when did Ford start using DEF?

Ford
started using DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) in the year 2008. If your Ford truck, van, or other heavy-duty vehicle was made after this year, it will use DEF on a diesel-consuming vehicle.A diesel truck that uses DEF—a mix of nonionized water and urea—will use the solution in its exhaust stream to help reduce engine emissions.
Why 2008? Ford began using DEF in their diesel vehicles to comply with the impending EPA (Environment Protection Agency) laws and standards.
Just as DEF helps protect the environment, you’ll need the right
