As with the others, I wouldn't call the current trucks feminine. I don't really care for how they look, but they aren't feminine.

If the designers really were worried about the truck being "feminine," why are they dumping a V6 into it?
The lightweight part has me a bit interested too. What does that mean in terms of payload and towing capacity compared to the F-150 and Ram 1500? Or perhaps is Chevy just going to be the first in a trend back to more down to earth sized half tons, and cede the work truck status more back to the heavy duties (which don't have to go through EPA fuel economy testing).

Well, if GM can maintain the strength of the current truck while pulling 500 lbs of weight out of it, it would net you 500 lbs of extra payload capacity.
