I'm back and forth on this one...some shots I like and others not so much, but Ford is once again really going after it with this truck. Its pretty apparent they plan to take hold of this segment again and not let go for a long time.
I'll be very curious to see what kind of power and economy numbers that 2.7 V6 turbo can put up. The writer of the Motortrend article (sounds like a fanboy article) says he thinks it will see up to 30+ mpg highway. I call BS on that one. Article also says up to 700 lbs lost, which I know has been a rumor for a long while, but I don't think that has actually been confirmed, so we can't say for sure how much it actually lost when you compare across similar trim levels.
Overall, impressed with the overall package I've seen so far, but not completely blown away either. Lots more to learn about this truck yet.

Yes I am very curious to see the MPGs. Also curious to see the weight loss figures. I can't wait to see one in person and I cant wait to drive one. My next vehicle will be a truck, and I have 3 candidates right now, the F-150, the Sierra and the Canyon(if the canyon is in teh right price and MPGs that's where I would lean).
If the 2.7 Eco boost gets great mileage and is able to get out of its own way, that could be an option for me.
and KMP I totally agree with you, some shots its very impressive and others make me think its hideous.
This one has lots of promise though
