The new 2015 F150 will weigh 700 pounds less than the '14. It will sport aluminum body panels and the second generation Ecoboost engine, a 2.7 liter V6 that produces 325 HP and 375# of torque.
The aluminum body has really impacted the window sticker. I just did a "build and price" of the '15 and came up with a $4,000 higher price, for the same model and options as I purchased last year.
The smaller version ecoboost is expected to raise MPG by 10 to 15% and still tow up to 8,500#. The 3.5L Eco is also still available and should perform even better in the new lighter truck.
