I have an F150 and there isn't a lot of chrome on it. I prefer the F150 over the Chevy 1500. But I am a much bigger fan of the chevy/GMC heavy duties compared to the super duties. My current 2010:

I hate that big chevy grill on the half tons, the gmc's look much better. Obviously on the inside they are the same.

CAFE will require an average of 26mpg for pickups by 2016.
Hopefully GM will produce a 1/2 ton diesel.

Can't say when though. They'll be 2014 models, released throughout 2013.

I hope so.

That may not be as hard to meet as it would seem. Unless the loophole has been closed ... any E85 capable vehicle effectively gets its CAFE score (which is roughly equal to its highway mpg) doubled.
