Turbo gasoline engine, no; even with fancy variable-intake turbos, they still don't make torque until 2200-2500 RPM, and no decent torque until full boost. Having to gun your truck to 3500 rpm to pull your boat out of the water won't impress the good ol' boys down by the lake. Turbo diesel, yes — because they generate torque at 1,000 rpm.

It would be a waste of Ford's resources and money to consider a diesel in these trucks. People will hands down take a small 4 cylinder or small 6 cylinder over a diesel in a product like this.

I figured they would just reskin it and run it another ten years or so, but kudos to Ford for planning to merge development with the Thai Ranger replacement, which I think should have been available here from the start. As gas hits $5 a gallon, people will be turning away from Rams, Tundras and Tacomas in droves.. and the only true small alternatives are available at GM and Ford! Now if only the two companies had a credible small-car strategy in place, there would be no problem for them to meet CAFE standards.

Let it haul 600lb, and tow 2000lb, so it can be light, and efficient for light-haul fleets too, like phone companies, pool guys, landscapers, etc. For the F-100, same thing, just better capacities.
