OH, I don't know. Maybe stuff like on board air systems that can air up tires or maybe run small air tools. Have you looked at all the wasted space in front of and behind the rear tires? Make nice places for tool storage or maybe with the added fuel economy they could give added fuel capacity.
That stuff is cool until you realize the bite it takes out of payload capacity. More power doesn't often add to the weight of the truck, but cool doodads will.
OH, but power does my friend. They have to build the truck to be able to handle the power. My 2005 Ram weighs 6700# wet with me and momma in it. My 2013 weighs 8000#. The stuff I said, most people put in the trucks aftermarket anyway. Tool boxes and fuel tanks. I'm just saying that they could give the options to integrate them into the trucks. Just think, have an aux tank and tool box and still have the whole bed left.
That's the beauty of the aluminum body panels is that Ford reinvested the weight savings back into the drivetrain and frame.
My experience with the more Horse Power and Torque my '12 model has over the '05 model is it allows for a easier towing and non towing experience, but it's nice to have the power for acceleration when needed and for some of those pesky types who need to be put into their place. You know those types... :W
BTW... Last Sunday I drove one of our 7.3 Super Duty's and boy I sure wouldn't want to go back to that power level after being spoiled by the 6.7PSD. :B
