True. But for that few month period where Americans will want smaller pickups, Ford will be screwed.
Historically, when the gas bomb hits the fan, big pickup peeps didn't gravitate towards small ones. They buy economical cars- which makes sense, because no pickup gets anything resembling great gas mileage.
Short term maybe.....but long term.....America is America....we're spoiled and we spend money. Ford will continue to sell those beasts....
Yep- but I bet we'll barely recognize the technology- or the efficiency- of a full-size pickup in a decade. We live in a day and age where a 200 mph sportscar (Corvette Z06) is capable if getting close to 30 mpg- expect to see similiar breakthroughs in trucks.
