Ford's upper management claims they'll reduce the number of parts on an F150 by up to 2500 less, in about a year. Of course, absolutely not a single specific was mentioned, that's a POTENTIAL goal

 If they can even delete 250, and it's not just washers replaced with vinyl lock nuts with shoulders? I'll be surprised. 

If they figure out how to make an F150, that has all the same functions and features, without deleting actual equipment (like glove box doors, ventilation variable discharge vanes, or whatever) I'll be surprised of they can figure out even 250 things that they can make that truck without. 

I don't count replacing switches with touch pads as much of an improvement, though, yes, that would reduce the number of parts by about 3 on a 4 panel switch. Fewer trim pieces would just annoy all the car reviewers who believe that the level of luxury is based on the amount of decoration trim pieces
