The last I heard was Ford was going to try and stuff a 4-banger in base model trucks only I.E regular cab 2WD shortbed models. It'll probably mostly be sold only to fleet users...And maybe a select few personal buyers.

I still don't understand Fords logic here...I know alot of people who would kill for a midsize/compact Ford truck Ranger/F-100 sized that could achive mid 20's to early 30's in the mpg department and only put down modest power compared to the F-150. Don't get me wrong, I've got a 2011 F-150 FX4 with the 5.0L and gas price's be damned its the truck I would have bought and I couldn't be happier with it. But its just odd that Ford is axing its small truck in time where gas price's are so unstable. Instead of trying to make a 4-banger work in the F-150...Why not design a midsize F-100 for the market? That way Ford could include it their F-Series annual sales ''thus they don't have to worry about it stealing sales from the larger trucks''.
