The weight savings and safety features are the big advancements. Put me in the camp of the other posters that the small turbocharged engines are not a selling point. They are equaled in power & fuel economy by competitors.
Kind of surprised that they are staying with a 6 speed transmission and that they aren't offering a small diesel.
They are pushing the envelope forward more than the new Silverado.
I haven't seen any official power or fuel economy numbers for the '15 F150 so I'm not sure how you can say they are equaled by competitors.
I don't believe there is a large market for a 1/2 ton diesel if a equivalent gas engine can make the same fuel economy for a lot less investment and $0.60/gallon cheaper fuel at the pump.
Stay tuned...
