Wow... so much bickering about something that hasn't even really happened yet. Without innovation we would all still be driving black 4 cylinder trucks with about 13 hp from Ford.
Was there this much complaining and b-tching on RV.net a couple years ago when Ram started putting factory exhaust brakes in trucks? Now it is a pretty standard feature and we argue about who makes the best exhaust brake.
How about air bags and how much that would drive up cost. Fuel injection versus carb. Power windows and locks. The list goes on and on.
I hope that this is a successful endeavor for Ford. I hope that fuel mileage goes up and vehicle and insurance cost stays even. Some people are so scared of change (or scared of a brand of truck different from what they own) that they hate anything that they don't own.
Let it go.
If Ford is making such a catastrophic error you can come back and point your finger in a year at the horrible decision. If Ford is being a pioneer and making an amazing product that blows the competition out of the water you can come back in a year and laugh at the idiots that bought a product from the competition.
Oops... not the OP... jasonlisan, sharp looking truck. I hope you love it and it works great for you. Put some miles on before camping season ends!
