I could have swore I heard somewhere Ford was going nearly all aluminum, it might be when the fuel mileage mandate rolls around in a few years?
Gonna get interesting when the Feds say everybody must get 50mpg or else.
may be the demise OF the big American pickup, might be a good time to get one before they are gone.
I have a choice, get another 3500HD with the natural gas option or get the Colorado, the NG sounds tempting, with an at home compressor station I can fuel it myself.
But of course the feds will want their road tax in some fashion.
HD trucks are exempt from CAFE. If you notice, they don’t have MPG stickers on the window.
I cannot bring myself to ever buy another GM vehicle again.
I drive a 2007 GMC 1500 now. The wife’s a 2004 Ford Expedition, which was our first Ford. When we do replace them, we plan to buy Ford.
I’ve got a friend using the Eco-Boost 3.5L F150 to pull a 4-horse trailer with living quarters. Quite a bit more responsive then those pulling with different 3/4 ton diesels, which was my plan before talking to him.
