Ford will be announcing a 1.5 liter engine for the F-150, called "Turbo Whiner". It will be for those that want to get 40MPG and then whine when the truck can't tow anything more than a kite behind it. It will also feature 15" wheels made out of composite material.
The vehicle itself will be made out of MyDoesItFlex(R), a new material that actually flutters in the wind, creating an aerodynamic effect, which increases mileage (and lifts the tires off the roadway so there will be a new 6 way camera, one pointed up and one pointed down).
The rest of the details are confidential at this time.

Some of us just like the way trucks look and feel, I like that it has just as much space if not more than an SUV not counting third row seating and trunk space, and having the bed for occasional use is great.
So if they could give me a 30mpg truck or even an electric pickup I'd be the first in line if I didn't already own a truck, I currently own a Tesla Model S and thought about getting a Model X but instead I bought an F150. My decision to buy a truck has nothing to do with MPGs but if they give me great gas milage why wouldn't I take it? I mean, if I don't need to tow anything why make a decision that's only going to cost me more money everytime I fill up the tank? Do I really want to pay more just for the sound of the engine? Honestly, the complete lack of sound on my Model S is the best sound of all, silence. The reason I purchased the 2.7 engine was because I didn't need an engine any bigger, I will admit the sound of a V8 is amazing but it's just not necessary to have.
I know most of you will say "then don't buy a truck".... and to that I say, trucks provide way more convenience than just towing a carrying heavy loads, everyone has different needs, and the fact that Ford continues to cater to the average consumer probably means they see a far larger consumer base beyond that of the average "working" man.
PS I will Lincoln was still making trucks, specially with the new designs they have

I do think thy need to get the engines down to 2. It's a killer to find the truck you want 100% and when I was shopping back in '98 I often found what I wanted but with wrong engine and there was only the 4.6 and 5.4.
I think that the v8 shud be gone. The new 3.5 can make sick power. But the v8 will linger for nostalgia.
i think the 2.7 and 3.5 is plenty, then go super duty for anything else. (5.0 EB anybody?) 😜

Since I hurt my back and sold my "toys" I have no need for very powerful trucks anymore.
I would love a "city" truck that did great on gas but was used for hauling trash to the dump and leaves to the landfill, its my trucks main uses now.
