Try parking that at your local grocery store, lol. And we thought the current Raptor was wide. This rig looks huge. But I have to admit it does look sweet!

I would guess that you are not too far off.
More high strength steel (material costs more) = more $$
A lot of aluminum (material costs more, plus, based on my experience,costs more to manufacture) = more $$
A lot more tech (development for tech, plus the addition of the hardware, wiring and computing power) = more $$

Plus, I would expect collision / dent repair costs to go up as well. Steel panels can be repaired more easily, aluminum can crack when repaired, which means more panel replacement vs panel repair.

More info here:
Watch "Automotive Steel Stronger than Aluminum and Just as Light" Video at Engineering TV

Looks like recycling favors high strength steel over aluminum.

I actually like the new F150. I won't be trading my Raptor, but when the Expedition gets this makeover, I will likely buy one for the wife.
