zeitgeist57 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 http://www.autoblog.com/2014/01/13/2015-ford-f-150-debuts-aluminum-2-7-ecoboost/ - Aluminum construction... - 2.7L Ecoboost V6 for efficiency, and tunability of twin turbos... - 700lbs lighter... - LED headlights, tailgate/bed tricks... What's not to like about this tee-ruk??? (besides it's obvious lack of a manual transmission) I think this is going to be a home run. It's an F-OneFiddy so it's going to do well anyway, but I'm looking forward to seeing this thing in the flesh. :thumbup::thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckin Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 F150 continually sets the bench mark in the market. They've raised the bar again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Very nice. Hopefully they keep the ball rolling with a diesel version for their mid cycle refresh, if not sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchi Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I like it! Curious to see what the 2.7 EB engine will put down vs the 3.5 EB available now. Still be a nucking futs bit of torque esp with a tune even on the 2.7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't like the fact they're trying to market a 6000 series aluminum as "military grade". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigOxley Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Some idiots on jalopnik were complaining how the production truck doesnt look enough like the Atlas concept. I think it's pretty freaking close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ok, I'll say it. I don't like it. Looks like a Ram slammed into the back of a Tundra and this is the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wonder what the pricing will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 the new 2.7-liter should be an adequate match for the mid-level V8s of Ram and General Motors while besting its eight-cylinder competitors on fuel economy. Man, that is pretty cool. Like the looks as well. NB4 $75,000 truck, though. *rollseyes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbospec29 Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm still waiting for a half ton or midsize truck/suv diesel that's affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Gmc canyon crew cab diesel should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Yeah, diesel should be getting into the lineup, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2highpsi Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Ok, I'll say it. I don't like it. Looks like a Ram slammed into the back of a Tundra and this is the result. Atleast I'm not the only one.... And I LOVE the current gen F-150. I don't know, maybe this one will grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Nice Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I wish all trucks would go back to being square bodies. We have the mullet mobiles, rustangs, challengers, and chargers. Where's my SB truck?! I like this one though. Definitely prefer it over current GMs.` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm still waiting for a half ton or midsize truck/suv diesel that's affordable. Pretty sure you can get a diesel Ram for about $30k. Not sure what the Nissan is going to sell for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Definitely prefer it over current GMs.` See, I loooove the new GMCs. In contrast, I do not care for the Chevy variant. odd. http://img2.netcarshow.com/GMC-Sierra_2014_1024x768_wallpaper_01.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't seen a GMC like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrest Gump 9 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Mark my words, the 2.7L turbo engine will be the biggest fail Ford will have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
