2016 Ford Superduty - Aluminium
LINK Looks like it will follow in the F150's foot steps. Only makes sense.

What I am surprised of os that they use the heavy 6.2L engine on the raptor when they could use a much lighter engine with turbos.
The ecoboost v6 is far from a light engine...
It's not a heavy duty engine either. If you see an eco-boost in a heavy duty truck it will probably be 5.0 or something bigger.
What (exactly) makes an engine heavy duty? Ford put the 300 inline 6 in heavy duties for years, along with the 302, 351, etc. but I don't think any of those engines can hold a candle to the 3.5 ecoboost by any metric. The 300 and 302 were pretty decent engines, but I'd take the 3.5 eco over them any day, and aparently so would many new truck buyers.
