Looks like it was announced sooner than I thought. You owe me a 6-pack:
===============
"This is the next version of the Ford F-150 pickup, the most profitable vehicle Ford sells and the most popular automobile in America. While it looks new, the biggest changes lie under the paint, where the body has been made from aluminum instead of steel...The weight savings — which equal roughly 12 percent on a Super-Duty variant — drive other changes. The engine lineup gets shuffled, with the current 6.2-liter V-8 dropped. The base engine will be a smaller 3.5-liter non-turbocharged V-6, with a 5-liter V-8 and 3.5-liter Ecoboost twin-turbo as the top models. The new in-between option: a 2.7-liter V-6 Ecoboost turbo that Ford claims will offer as much power as buyers used to expect from a small V-8"
===============
The new 3.5L is the same engine as the current 3.7L but with a shorter stroke.

It does look like a decent looking truck. I can't wait to drive one.

Also, notice that it's showing 552 miles remaining and it's at 1/2 a tank.
So that is 1,104 miles on a tank say it's 36 gallon tank = 30.66 mpg
