I think they can downsize...but not too much.
We had Tom's F150 with the eco out in Ohio. While it towed great and was very fast I would fear it could not take the heat of heavy towing for too long.
That is with a 3/4 and up truck is suppose to do all day long.
So...don't know how they would achieve this without a major revision of several systems.

I am hoping that is a bad photoshop.
I actually like the GMC truck, but the interior was very small compared to the rest of the competition.

It looks a lot more 'refined' like the 150. I think what made the super duty stand out is the bolder looks.
I didn't care for the chevy-esque grill at first but the ford looks more rounded so it is starting to grow on me.
It wouldn't surprise me if they really bumped up the power output to get people past the initial appearance.
I can see me looking at an '18 or '19 once they get the new model bugs worked out and tweek some of the appearance dislike to suit the masses - especially if they offer a mega cab.
