Right, to which I replied with "There are/have been plenty of 6 cylinder iconic cars".

You then asked me to name them, which I did.

It's okay, thanks for playing.

Do you think Bill is short for Billiam too?

All good points and all will be revealed soon enough. Some may want their trucks to be made of steel. I think that lighter aluminum is better for a variety of reasons. 500 lbs lighter can only mean that it's better in my mind. How could it not be?

From the article below...Tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that repairing body damage on the aluminum-bodied 2015 Ford F-150 took longer and cost 26 percent more than on the 2014 F-150 made of steel.

I know alot of people like the Ecoboost (myself included), but I don't think I could ever bring myself to purchase a v6 Raptor. Nevermind the Ecoboost's specs, it just feels wrong!

That is because the Gen2 is 26% better so of course it will be 26% more to repair. However the fanbois will claim the Gen2 is 93.8% (they are being realistic noting is ever 103% better like the extreme ones claim) so in reality you are getting a good deal.
