I would like Ford to build this super efficient pickup
Do you think that Ford would consider making a super efficient 4-cylinder F150 pickup with EcoBoost technology

I really would want Ford do this.

As all of the automakers work to come up with the most fuel efficient vehicles possible, the 2015 Ford F150 could call upon the new 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder that will power the 2015 Ford Mustang to create a Super Fuel Economy model that would offer far less trucking capabilities and far better fuel economy – essentially battling the fuel economy of the midsized truck market with an F150.

Since Ford isn't planning on offering the Ranger in North America, I think a super efficient F150 would sell like hotcakes. Tons of folks don't tow, and just need a truck to carry a few things that won't fit in the Fusion. The extra gas mileage would be greatly appreciated. Not for everyone, but would be perfect for a lot.

no doubt it will likely happen. there are plenty of people who just tow a light boat, carry a few sticks of lumber or sheets of building materials, work in construction and have a few tools in the bed, I could go on. some rarely if ever even carry anything a focus couldn't, they just plain like owning and driving a truck.
plus the regulations are forcing ford anyway. I can appreciate that the gov't and branches/extensions thereof care for the environment, but they go about it all wrong and cause even more harm. whatever puts a dollar in their pocket...

I've come to believe what others around here have said: If I wanted fuel mileage, I sure as h_ll wouldn't be driving a 5.0 FX4 SCAB. If you have to worry about the driving costs of a vehicle, MAYBE you should consider public transportation?

Besides the MPG of the trucks, $35-50K is too damned much to pay for what I use the truck for.

I would have bought a jeep, as it fits my needs perfectly, but they ride like tanks and are quite uncomfortable to sit in, especially for someone like me with back problems.
