The new truck will be amazing. The bailout gave Ford a jump on the competition in r&d. Now we have even more to look forward to. As of now, I can confirm extensive use of aluminum in the new ar****ecture. The bed and cab for sure... I believe the frame will remain steel. I've been told the new truck will lose 700-750lbs and gain approximately 3mpg. Performance will also improve with the loss in weight. I can't confirm a V8 ecoboost, although that would be one wicked powertrain. If you haven't driven an ecoboost yet, you owe it to yourself.
