Let me put this one together for you and you will see just how much this makes perfect sense. Why don’t we take the most popular truck on the market today and make it as efficient as possible while maintaining the power and strength of the vehicle? That seems to have been the goal for the new Ford F-150 lineup. First Ford introduced us to the F-150 with the aluminum body and high strength steel in the build all in an effort to save weight. This weight savings was significant enough that Ford felt comfortable using smaller engines to achieve similar power numbers to the larger engines which resulted in immediate fuel savings for those of us driving the most popular trucks on the road today.
