Short of going out of buisness they must sell something. Further this for many is a tool, unlike the SUV's, which for many were just a fasion statement. And the new fuel mileage numbers are commendable for a vehicle that will do what a full size truck can do.

To my mind, what Ford ought to be offering as a standard package would be a Flex-Fuel engine with a conversion switch to run off Compressed Natural Gas. Sell it as part of a package which includes installation of a home compressor unit so that when you get home, you plug your truck CNG tank into the compressor which fills the tank from the gas main that supplies your house. If you are driving beyond the range of the CNG tank, switch over to run on gasoline (or E85 if available). There are a lot of people who need a pickup truck for their jobs.

It should have 4 cylinder diesel and a 6 speed. People mostly buy trucks because they NEED a truck. Try getting a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood in your hatch back. I agree with Anon.
