I took a liking to the RAM 1500 a few yrs ago and considered it the best looking. The new F-150 didn't strike me as great with the new headlights, but now that I've seen some variants of the front end, it's changed my mind and I've been strongly considering a 15 or 16 lately. I want to see what they can do 1st, but I'm expecting economy to be rather outstanding. I also figure, by 2017, the F-150 will be available, for the 1st time in its history, with a (3.2L) diesel. Coupled w/ the light weight, that inline 5 should be good for over 30mpg and that's killer for a pickup! The RAM is already rated at 28, I think... hwy ratings, of course.

Anyway, we're witnessing the biggest string of changes in the automobile world since the 1970's and aside from silly regulations, it's helping. Of course, not for regulations... we'd still have lightweight trucks and powerful, beautiful cars.

Sounds like a catch line. Find that in the Ford brochure?
