Thus increasing fuel economy. Ah gotcha.

How would that effect truck costs? I'm guessing increase but, not sure how much especially since a manufacturer can get raw materials in bulk.

Cost is going to go up, the the new truck is going to be lightyears ahead of even the current model, so IMO, the cost is warranted.

This is likely going to be aircraft grade aluminum, so it won't be cheaper.

Correct. The CEO of Ford is a former director at NASA. It's the same aluminum used on the shuttles. It goes through a different process which makes it very durable unlike the traditional soft bendy type aluminum used on the old school original Cobras.

These new 5.0's sound like boats burbling in the water at idle. I really wish my car sounded like the wife's Mach. Can't stand the way these 5.0's sound.

Then sell it

Is maintenance on a Ferrari similar to a Chevy price wise?

Who cars it's a Ferrari. Let's face it people that can afford 100k cars don't really worry about maintenance cost.
