I'd go for a smaller truck if it had the pulling power that I have with the 150. I'd like the smaller wheelbase and width for maneuvering on high mountain jeep trails. With the 150, I'm not sure it would fit on some of the roads in Colorado I'd like to take.

I DO think Ford needs to pull out all the stops and seriously start working on diesel power for its fleet. That has got to be one of the easiest, most cost efficient ways to achieve the new fuel economy figures coming down the pike. I think it makes far more sense than hybrid or all-electric engines.
