We told you last week that now’s a good time to be in the market for a new Ford F-150. Now, USA Today is saying the same thing.

An aluminum body is a great way to cut vehicle weight, but it’s not the only way. Wheels carry quite a bit of pounds in them. That’s why Ford went with carbon fiber for the wheels on its upcoming Shelby GT350R Mustang.

Test drives are great and all, but salespeople aren’t terribly enthusiastic about the idea of potential customers taking inventory out on a race course to see how it performs. That’s true here and across the pond in the UK, where the new Mustang is now available.

Ford is good at making Mustangs that are so powerful, they feel as if they’re about to take flight when you put your right foot down. We’re sure whoever ends up owning the Apollo Edition Mustang will get that exact same sensation.

Ford’s switch to an aluminum body for its new F-150 was so revolutionary and headline-grabbing that it overshadowed the other features the Blue Oval incorporated to make its half-ton less thirsty than the one before it.

Ford has a slew of new high-performance vehicles coming out in the future. It’s probably loving the anticipation it’s building, but it’s willing to let a couple of people get 2016 Focus RSs before they’re officially released late next year.

It took Dunkel Industries $6 million to create the Ford F-750 World Cruiser. It’s literally a house on wheels.
