Ford revealed its newest version of the F-150 pickup truck Monday at the 2014 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
It is the first big pickup made of aluminum as Ford sheds 700 pounds from a typical F-150 in the quest to save fuel.

New engine lineup: Base is a new-design, 3.5-liter V-6, down from 3.7-liter in the current truck, but expected to be more powerful.
One step up is 2.7-liter EcoBoost turbocharged V-6, which is from an entirely new engine family that Ford has developed. The automaker promises it will have the torque and horsepower of a midlevel V-8. Ford says it tested the engine by, among other things, running the grueling Baja 1000 off-road race.
The 5-liter V-8 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 from the current generation trucks will continue to be offered, based on the same engine the Mustang uses and carried over from the current generation trucks. 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6, also carried over.
